Thanks to everyone who has been helping me with my Pectinidae. However, from various sources I have 3 spellings for one species, viz. "clocata," "cloacta," and "cloacata." Anyone care to straighten this out for me? (I have Rombouts book on order, but I don`t know if the answer is in it.) Best wishes to all; anyone who canj and doesn't get on n Conch-L is "missing the boat," as far as I'm concerned. Cheers, Linda
