Dear Martin,
 
I was recently in Germany and discussed this topic with Christa Hemmen, the
publisher.  She said that volume 2 will NOT happen as conceived, as the
authors are hopelessly split (no pun intended) on the subject of the
Caribbean complex.  She was obviously very disappointed, as the first volume
was very successful.
 
For a definitive confirmation of what I understood, I suggest you contact
Ms. Hemmen directly @ [log in to unmask]
 
Regards,
 
Scott Jordan

concerned.
>This volume was to deal with the Family Conidae of the "tropical Atlantic
and
>Eastern Pacific Oceans, as well as temperate-zone species of Conus
throughout

the
>newly named cones of the Caribbean area.

>Also, does anyone know of a similar work that will soon be published on the
