Thanks to all who answered my question.
I was worried that I had found a typo in the year Woodring published, and that Wood might have been the abbreviation for his name. Also, thanks for the heads up of where to look for this information.
To my knowledge there is no longer a shell club here in the Phoenix area (the libraries I've checked with don't know of any). So Conch-L is my source to go to.

No Wood 1828 refers to William Wood's Index Testaceologicus: or a
Catalogue of Shells British and Foreign. There are 2300 illustrations, all
postage stamp sized but quite detailed.
There was also a supplement with eight plates published as well. It was
titled Supplement to the Index Testaceologicus: or a Catalogue of Shells
British and Foreign. This has 480 illustrations; as with the main work,
all are postage stamp sized.
