Notes:
Editor's note: 'In defence of Mrs Dunlop's poem we might point out that 'the critic' knows little about the ibis because we do have birds called ibis in Australia. The Australian white ibis is related to the Egyptian ibis and it is not the only ibis found in this country'.............to read the full text of the editor's note, refer to p.34 of Margin no.42, July-August 1997.
