Summary: This cine magazine comprises three items. The first 'Sealed in Resin' is a brief account of a method of mounting museum specimens in transparent synthetic resin. In the second part, 'The Naked Mole Rat' (Heterocephalus Glaber), the late Gerard Hoffnung describes the strange appearance and habits of this biologically important East African rodent. Finally 'Taballet'... 'Tabloid' production as light entertainment, with mock-heroic verse commentary and musical accompaniment, with stop-frame animation and lovely colours (original film is Kodachrome stock). Sadly this cinemagazine was the sole issue produced in this series by the Wellcome Foundation. 3 segments.
