Dear friends,
I have just received this note from a friend in Southern California
and would like to know if any of you have information on this species. I
have copied the description in American Seashells 2nd edition, by Tucker
Abbott, but that is all that I have. If you have more references, can you
please send them to me or to Kathy Kalohi at [log in to unmask]
Thanks in advance.
