Right on, Andy;-
    Synonomy has replaced monopoly as the name of the game in shells.
What bothers me about the two species named nesiotica is that Dall
described the first one and DALL and Ochsner did the second. It just
doesn't seem that a man as meticulous as William Heally Dall would
use the same name twice unless he was RE-describing the first name.
Unfortunately, this is a name that has not appeared under my camera
lens in either form. If you got two of each----send at least one.
