Greetings!
 
If you are a member of the (1) Cleveland Shell Club; (2) North Carolina Shell
Club; (3) Philadelphia Shell Club; (4) Shell Club of Mystic; or (5)
Southwestern Malacological Society, please read this message.
 
Otherwise, please delete . . .
 
Rudiger Bieler and I are updating our 1991 paper, "Malacological Journals and
Newsletters, 1773-1990" as published in The Nautilus, 105(2): 39-61.
 
I need to obtain more information about the newsletters of these five clubs:
(a)  their starting date (month/year);
(b)  whether it is still published, and
(c)  whether there were any name changes.
 
All I have are these titles:
(1)     "Cleveland Shell Club Newsletter"
(2)  "North Caroline Shell Club Newsletter"
(3)  "Xenophora"   (note: not the same as the French serial!)
(4)  "Mystic Shell Club Newsletter"
(5)  "Southwestern Malacological Society Newsletter"
 
I tried to contact these groups through the email address as formerly listed
on the COA website index to shell clubs, but those addresses are now defunct.
 
Rudiger and I will much appreciate receiving data on these newsletters.
Please respond directly to me ([log in to unmask]), and NOT to the entire
Conch-L listserv !!!
 
Thanks in advance for your replies.  --Alan Kabat
