Dear Patty,

the best contact for Trochid question is that of
Dirk Stratmann, I think [log in to unmask] or
[log in to unmask] He is a really specialist
in Trochidae and you should contact him personally
although I havn't seen him for a long time on conch-l.
Bit if you write to [log in to unmask] and
type in review conch-l by name you suddenly will
get all mails.
with friendly regards
Sieglinde
