I screwed up, took the HSN dates out of my database (which contains lots of
my typing errors) 1/85 does not even have an article by Richard Salisbury
on mitrids. It should have been 7/85.
That issue shows three tiny Vexillums in color that superficially look very
close to each other.
The 9/78 article concerns roseotinctum, but I have only a photocopy, which
is useless for the pictures.

Thanks Lynn, for checking up on me!
