Hello Eduardo!

COA is in the process of preparing an index of American Conchologist for 1997,
1998, and 1999.  Previous indexes for 1973-1991 and 1992-1996 are available for
$4.00 each from Hank Foglino, COA Property Manager.  I do not have his e-mail
address or his mailing address with me at this time--perhaps someone else could
post it.  His mailing address should be on the front of the COA Membership
Address Roster.

Hope this helps!

Karlynn Morgan
COA Publications Director
