Footnote:  In looking through the index of Kay's Hawaiian Marine Shells, I
find there are quite a few species named after the "Sandwich Islands", hardly
surprising of course, since it's an old name for the Hawaiian Islands.
However, there are several spellings employed.  Several species are named
sandwichensis, several are called sandwicensis, several sandvicensis, and one
sandvichensis.  Anyone have any further info on this?
