To all of CONCH-L:
Dr. James McLean, esteemed curator of LACM Malacology for the past 36
years, has decided retire effective 31 January, 2001. Jim will become
curator emeritus in order to devote 100% of his research time to completing
his book on the shelled gastropods of the North Pacific Ocean. Therefore,
the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County has opened a search for
his successor (see ad below).
