Fw: 2,400 Years of Malacology (Second Edition 2005)

[Richard Petit]

A TAXACOM subscriber recently wrote that he had stumbled on this
bio-bibliography by chance and that he found it useful as many people are
included who did important work in other fields.  The following is the
announcement of the just-posted 2nd edition.
