I have three errata lists in my copy of Am. Seashells (2nd).
A 1 page list by Thomas Watters to Conch-L, dated 4 Aug 1997;
A 3 pages list by Gary Rosenberg, dated 6 August 1997, also to Conch. L;
and a 4 pages list by Theresa Marche to Robert Moolenbeek, dated 21 Aug
1997. The last one seems to be a compilation of the other two, with some
more additions.
I can fax these to anyone interested.
