To all: Thanks for the advice on my "Conus violaceus" - which I named without thinking, because it's very violet. It's not Conus viola either, but very similar to the lectotype of Conus glans illustrated by Eddy Hardy at: http://gastropods.com/3/Shell_643.shtml ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
