Good morning,
     I was wondering if anyone knows of an identification book which
indexes according to zone.  I know that the zone for each shell can be
found, but thought this might be a handy "tool" for someone visiting a
particular zone.  As I mentioned the other day, we are going to drive
the length of Baja.  I believe that area is "Panamic".  Does this term
include both the east coast and the west coasts of Baja?  Is there a
book about Panamic shells?  Is there a book about the shells of Baja?
     Also, as a shell lover but not a scientific student of shells I
enjoy reading the Conch-L entries.  I was wondering, however, if any of
you are aware of a list that might be geared to the "less informed"
collector.  I would enjoy reading about what people find and where they
find them.  I really enjoyed the "Simon" entries.  I could almost feel
that I was there.  Considering where I live, that was a real treat.
     Thanks again for your help.
Jennifer (in Phoenix where it's perfect, but I definitely will not be
saying that in 2 1/2 months)
