Are there any of you that have the dates of publication for these Japanese
species? None of my books seems to have these species listed. We just
returned a couple of months ago and people have given us some of these
shells without authors or dates.
Thank you in advance.

p.s. For bibliophiles: THIS is a great book (one of a set of nature
encyclopedias) Illustrations of Plants & Animals (Volume 8: Shells). A
friend broke up his set and gave me this volume by Okutani. It has
beautiful photos and the names in Latin of the species. Unfortunately the
book is in Japanese. Fortunately, for me, my wife reads & speaks Japanese.
