Dear Conch-Lers,

I want to thank several members who answered on- and off-list to my search
for references about cones from the Cape Verde Islands. In brief, current
information on these species can be found in works such as:

Guerreiro, A. and F. Reiner. 2000. Moluscos marinhos da Ilha de S. Vicente.
Locally published in Oeiras, Portugal [In Portuguese]

Röckel, D., E. Rolán, A. Monteiro. 1980. Cone shells from Cape Verde
Islands: A difficult puzzle. [Authors' edition?] Published in Spain.

Rolán, E. 1990. Descripcion de nuevas especies y subespecies del genero
_Conus_ (Mollusca, Neogastropoda) para el Archipielago de Cabo Verde.
Iberus, suplemento 2: 5-70. [In Spanish]

Rolán, E. date?. La família Conidae (Mollusca: Gastropoda) en el
Archipiélago de Cabo Verde. Doctoral Dissertation. [In Spanish, apparently
not published].

Best to all,

José
