In my quest to attain the Neritidae-family and by the way thanks to some real
 nice folks in Conch land I now have 41 different. I have run into the problem
of
 understanding subspecies and synonyms. Is subspecies a different shell? What
 are synonyms? I thought a synonym was the same with a different name,but if
 this is true why a different Author? If anyone has a list of this family and
could
 help me I would appreciate it very much. Any literature or names of books I
could
 get. Thanks for any help.
