Tom:
"Just a collector" is no reason for exclusion from "2400 Years." Many
persons are listed who are/were "just collectors." The first sentence of
the abstract includes the statement "and others with an interest in
mollusks..." Many prominent present-day collectors (and professional
malacologists) are not listed as no published biographical data has been
noted.
Regards,
dick
