Bruce Livett & some other Conus people:
 
Some time ago, I mentioned that Frank Perron had raised almost all the
Hawaiian Conus from eggs, and that I would try to get hold of him and
get an article on the subject.  Months have gone by.  I asked on CONCH-L
whether anyone had his Email address.  After several months, his brother
Jacob Emailed me and said that Frank wasn't on Email, but gave me his
mail address.
 
I wrote Frank and asked for an article or material for an article.  He
sent me three copies of articles on the subject that he had put in
magazines/journals.  It will take a while to turn them into an article,
but I will work on it.
 
Meanwhile the references are:

One of the things Frank's work did was his resolving a question of
whether what was being called "Conus elisae" here was actually a form of
Conus pennaceus.  At our request he raised cones from C. elisae eggs and
some were normal C. pennaceus and some C. elisae form.
