The specimens and (or) photographs of the 21 named taxa used for California Holocene olivellids were examined to recognize four modern species now assigned to the genus Callianax and one species presumed extinct. The California Holocene species include C. alectona, C. biplicata, C. C. diegensis, and C. strigata, while the extinct species is Olivella pedroana. Other olivellid names previously used in California are also discussed and these include O. baetica, O. niplicata alba, O. biplicata angelana, O. biplicata brunnea, O. biplicata fucana, O. biplicata lapillus, O. biplicata parva, O. boetica, O. boetica diegenensis, O. boetica mexicana, O. dama, O. glandinaria, O. intorta, O. minuta, O. nota, O. porteri, and O. pycna. Olivella dama and O. intorta are valid species that occur further south in Mexico and are not present in California today despite reports. Olivella nota is also a valid name but for a west Pacific species. 38 pp., 23 figs, 2 color plates, br. 4 [21.5 x 28 cm].

Although the southern Californian coast is known for its magnificent scenery and impressive beaches, it also is known to house one of the most spectacular molluscan faunas found anywhere on Earth. Of the molluscan assemblages found along coastal areas of the United States, those of southern California stand out as unique in having the largest number of abalone species (family Haliotidae), the largest number of regionally-restricted murex species (family Muricidae), and the largest number of chitons (Class Polyplacophora), along with containing over 2,000 other microscopic and macroscopic species. It has been over 40 years since anyone has attempted to document this amazingly rich and beautiful molluscan fauna, leaving a large void in the literature of the West Coast marine invertebrates. Besides containing a visiually-stunning iconography of the regional molluscan fauna, the new book offers the first up-to-date synthesis of the molluscan biogeographical patterns seen along the coasts of southern California and the western side of Baja California, Mexico. The authors spent years compiling this information; from personal collecting and field work, from intensive searches of the published literature, and from exhaustive investigations of regional museum collections. At the end this book covers 345 species of mollusks shown on 57 plates. 131 pp., 57 color pls, 5 figs, softcover 4.

The Living and Fossil Busycon Whelks: Iconic Mollusks of Eastern North America, is the seminal book on Busycon whelks, including all 17 living species and over 100 fossil species. The book contains over 120 color plates and maps with pictures of these fascinating shells. A trip to an open shoreline anywhere along the eastern United States will quickly introduce a beachcomber to the busycon whelks. These iconic American shells are abundant in shallow water areas from Cape Cod south to Florida and throughout the Gulf of Mexico, and are often the most conspicuous large mollusks to wash up onto beaches after storms. Although the busycon whelks are recognized as being one of the most conspicuous and common groups of marine mollusks in eastern North America, their systematic classification and taxonomic nomenclature was uncertain at best. Over the past 100 years, these iconic American mollusks have been placed in no fewer than four different families, underscoring the wide range of professional opinions regarding the systematic placement of this group. These families have included the Melongenidae, Busyconidae, Fasciolariidae, and the Buccinidae. In this book, the authors follow the requirement of total evidence, utilizing several busyconid classification tools, including classic morphological characters such as shell shape, protoconch structure, and periostracal structure, and also the evolutionary history, fossil record, and biogeographical patterns for each genus and species complex, and where available biochemical and DNA studies. These are all combined in different ways to gain insight into a more precise systematic placement of these large and important marine animals. The authors bring together as many aspects of busyconid biology and paleontology as possible, including an iconography of over one hundred color figures representing both the living and fossil species with distribution maps for each living species and subspecies. These data and color images give a higher-resolution view of the origins and evolutionary patterns of this important and iconic American molluscan family. 194 pp. num. color figs, hardcover 4.

Mollusks and Marine Environments of the Ten Thousand Islands provides the first comprehensive overview of the shells and habitats that are present in the last unexplored coastal area of southwestern Florida. The mysterious and primordial Ten Thousand Islands, where the rivers and marshlands of the Everglades empty into the Gulf of Mexico, house a number of remarkable marine ecosystems, many shown here in detail for the first time. Primary among these are unique worm shell "reef systems," composed entirely of immense masses of vermetid gastropod mollusks. These previously unexplored and unstudied gastropod reefs, which are often many acres in size, are shown here to mimic coral reefs in their growth structure and represent the only large-scale molluscan reefs found anywhere on Earth. Living in association with the zonated gastropod reefs are a number of rare and unusual mollusks, some of which represent endemic species that are unique to the Ten Thousand Islands. These and many other southwestern Florida shells are illustrated throughout this book, along with detailed illustrations and descriptions of the marine and estuarine environments that dominate the archipelago and its adjacent lagoon systems. 157 pp., num. color photographs, figs & maps, hardcover 4.

Marine biogeography, the study of the spatial distribution of organisms in the world's oceans, is one of the most fascinating branches of oceanography. This book continues the pioneering research into the distributions of molluscan faunas, first studied by biologists over 160 years ago. It illustrates 1778 species of gastropods in full color, many of which are extremely rare and poorly known endemic species that are illustrated for the first time outside of their original descriptions.
