Twas the night before Christmas and all over Conch-L -
We were all dreaming - of our favorite shell.

We didn't want the usual Christmas bonus -
Rather we wanted....something in Conus

(and so it goes).

Three rooms anabathrum - but of course, Art, it's a real estate
term.  So is the whole cluster about Florida cones:

Anabathrum and thick flooring (floridensis);  a transom
(tranthami) and a bureau (burryae).  (Ouch !)

Thanks to Art for a big laugh ( I agree with Ken, that was tops).

Seasons's Greetings to all,

Karen
