We are pleased to announce the posting, on the website of the American
Malacological Society, of the Fourth Edition of the following publication:
Eugene V. Coan, Alan R. Kabat & Richard E. Petit (2007), "2,400 Years of
Malacology," online at:
http://www.malacological.org/publications/epubs.html
This publication of 721 pages is a comprehensive catalog of biographical and
bibliographical papers on malacologists, conchologists, paleontologists, and
others with an interest in mollusks. This publication also provides links to
online digitized works in systematic malacology.
Since the posting of the first edition (June 2004), the second edition
(January 2005), and the third edition (January 2006), we have received comments and
additions from a number of colleagues - for which we are most grateful - and
we have continued our own searching through the literature.
In particular, an increasing number of important historical and reference
works are being digitized and made available online, and we have added the
Internet addresses for these publications, although we note that they are subject to
unpredictable changes as webmasters redesign web pages.
We have also prepared a separate appendix with collations of a number of
malacological works that were published over a multi-year period, and we
anticipate adding more collations to this appendix.
As before, this catalog is a work in progress, and we plan to continue
posting updated versions on a periodic basis. We encourage readers to explore and
use this catalog, and we look forward to receiving your comments, and citations
to new or overlooked papers.
