Dear John,  I was interested to read your recent E-mail regarding the
above, especially your comment that you would be prepared to share your
Muricid database.  Throughout our protracted correspondence re Muricinae, I
never had the nerve to ask you for a copy of your data base, in view of the
amount of work you must have put into it over the years.  I would certainly
appreciate a copy, on a floppy disc if possible, so long as I can read it 
on  Words for Windows 3.1 word processing format or spread sheet.  I trust
that you are keeping well and enjoying life to the full  
Yours sincerely,  Stanley Francis.
