Subject: Request for information on Lambis crocata pilsbryi Abbott, 1961
> Hello everyone,
>
> Recently, Ross posted an article referring to a specimen of Lambis
crocata pilsbryi that was
> collected in Zanzibar. I was as intrigued as he was and we have been
e-mailing back and forth
> since then. Later, after asking if others have specimens of this form
from East Africa, Alan
> Seccombe reported having several specimens taken in the Seychelles. After
more e-mailing, Ross
> asked if I would be interested in writing an article for The American
Malacologist regarding this
> interesting case of range extension. Due to having a lot going on right
now, this artlicle won't
> be written for a few months. However, I would like to begin gathering
information. First, I
> would like to locate Dr. Abbott's original description of L. c. pilsbryi.
I have tried to locate
> this, but have been unsuccessful. If anyone has this article, please send
a copy. If anyone has
> a complete citation for this article, please send it. I can then request
the article through the
> inter-library loan system. In addition, I am interested in articles
providing information on
> exact localities where specimens have been collected, including both
geographic data and
> descriptions of the type of habitat from which specimens have been taken.
Please send any
> articles with complete citation information for inclusion in the reference
section. Also, please
> send any personal information you have regarding this form. Include your
name and any other
> information for proper citation. Thanks in advance. Take care and I will
look forward to hearing
> from you. Bye for now!
