I am simply NOT caught up on my mail, being in the throes of putting
together the September issue of American Conchologist, so if this is a
repeat of anyone's message to Conch-L, forgive me for the repetition:
American Malacological History was made in more ways than one at the joint
meeting of the AMU, WSM and Unitas Malacologia last month in Washington. I
just received the following message from Donald Dan who attended that great
gathering of malacologists and conchologists from around the world:
>At the AMU membership meeting in Washington, D.C., an approval vote was given
>to change the name to American Malacological Society. Apparently, the
>original name refers to a union of various shell clubs across the U.S. which
>is no longer true today. Lynn, you may want to put this news on Conch-L, if
>nobody has already done it.
>
>AMS will continue to involve amateurs. In fact, plans are in place to
include
>programs which will be attractive to amateur shell collectors at the
>Pittsburgh meeting next year.
