CONCH-L
I have just newly joined CONCH-L and I have been reading some back
log messages. I saw a posting about some audio recordings that have been out
there. Sylvia ([log in to unmask]) mentioned that she had a copy of Abbott's
Exploring Collectible Shells 1987 In audio cassette tape form. And in her
posting she mentioned a recording that I have. But she didn't sound very
clear about what the difference was between these recordings. So I thought I
would clear up exactly what this recording is since I have listened to it.
I know these recordings are out of print. I have a record of
Pronouncing the Scientific Names of Seashells of North America put out by
Abbott in 1969 through DMNH. The record says it is a 36 min recording of
Abbott enunciating the scientific names. I got it through a silent auction
bidding at a COA con. It is an auto companion to the Golden Book edition of
A Guide to Field Identification Seashells of North America, 1968 (revised ed.
is 1986).
What other recordings on shells is out there? Has anyone ever heard
of any?
