Hi Friends, I have just received my copy of the new book "The Living Ovulidae - A Manual of the Families Ovulidae, Pediculariidae and Eocypraeidae" by Felix Lorenz and Dirk Fehse. I am having a difficult time trying to pull myself away from this excellent book. Obviously a labor of love for the two authors, the treatment that they give this little understood group of "Allied cowries" is outstanding. This high quality, well researched, and absolutely beautiful volume is sure to impress any of you who have a look. There is more information about the book, including sample plates at http://www.ovulidae.com Cheers, Randy Bridges ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [log in to unmask] - a forum for informal discussions on molluscs To leave this list, click on the following web link: http://listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=conch-l&A=1 Type your email address and name in the appropriate box and click leave the list. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
