That's OK, my note about why I wasn't going to COA wasn't supposed to go
public either.
 
And just so this email isn't a total loss:
 
IN PRESS:
 
Parmalee, P.W. & A.E. Bogan. Freshwater bivalves of Tennessee. University of
Tennessee Press. Due this Fall. Price not yet announced.
 
You mussel-heads will want this one. This will be the most comprehensive
freshwater mussel book published to date - color photos, maps, synonymies,
etc. For you Conch-Lers not familar with Tennessee or the fauna, this region
has 129 species (nearly half of all North America's mussel fauna), many
endemic, many rare, too many extinct.
