Again I want to thank all who have provided comments and collecting data for
these three shells. The presentation of L. pensylvanica has now been
posted.

Additional comments and data for all three shells is again solicited.
You may note that in the below posting the name of P. pectinata has been
changed to the masculine P. pectinatus. For Harry Lee's in depth discussion
of this issue see

Subject: S. floridana and now P. pectinatus
Thanks to all who sent collecting data and comments for S. floridana. All
have been added to the presentation. The second (Phacoides pectinatus) of
this series of three similar shells (the last will be Lucina pensylvanica)
has now been posted. Although reported on both sides of Florida I have
never found P. pectinatus on Florida's west coast. Does anyone have
first-hand knowledge of finding P. pectinatus on Florida's west coast? For
photos see

Subject: Stewartia floridana (Conrad 1833)
S. floridana is endemic to the Gulf of Mexico. However, to my limited
knowledge it is found only along Florida's west coast and the coast of
Texas. In Florida I've found records of finds only from Sanibel north to
Cedar Key. It is also supposed to be sometimes found in the Florida Keys.
Does anyone have first-hand knowledge of finding this shell in the Keys or
along the Florida West coast both inside and outside the range indicated?
This shell is most often collected washed ashore. For photos see
