Milan,
I'd love to have some of your Tibetan gastropods for the College of the
Redwoods Collection. Personally I also collect Buccinidae.  I live in
Eureka, Northern California, U.S.A.   I'll see what I can get from the
fishermen here for you.  They are trawlers and at times get deep water
Buccinids.  We have what is found clear up in Alaska.  I'll copy this
letter and save it for future reference.
