>Dear all;-
>    What I'm doing is trying to make a complete listing for "Authors in
>Volutidae". But I need help, aid, and assistance.
>    Sometimes I only have the last name of an author. What I'd like on
>the title line is his full name, his B&D dates, and where one might find
>his type species.
>    A good entry would look like:
>    Smith, Joe B.    (1812-1894)     Montana State Museum
>    Get the idea? Here are a few names that I need help on. If I get
>these sorted out, I'll add more.
>Angas, G.F.---Barnard----Bartsch----Bayer, F.M.----Bernardi
>Brazier----Broderip----Clench, W.J.----Cossman----Cox
>    That's ten. There's lots more. I need what you know---or can look
>up.
>        Many thanks,
