Dear Dick,

(1) I was afraid you'd say something like that.
(2) I agree with the idea that two sets of 
iterations (by name and by planche no.) would be useful.
(3) Interesting synonymy; the type figures of 
Turbo turritella Wood, 1818/T. cornea Lamarck, 
1822 look distinctive enough, but I can't say 
I've seen a specimen quite like them or heard of the synonymy before.

Harry

PS to Alan Kohn [only if these analyses have been 
parsed out already]: Of the 125 nominal species 
of Conus proposed by Hwass (in Bruguière), can 
you tell us (1) how many are available and (2) 
how many were figured in the Tableau? HGL
PPS to anyone: Is any part of this masterwork available on-line? HGL
