"NOTES" NEWS 
Many of you know that Karl Jacobson, founder and for many years the 
editor of these NOTES, is no longer a full time resident of New York, 
having purchased a lovely wintertime home in Florida. Our best 
wishes to him in his "retirement." We'll miss him this winter but 
Florida clubs will undoubtedly benefit as he has not retired his in- 
terest in mollusks. Thus we look forward to continuing to receive 
his lively conchological and/or malacological reports as he relaxes 
in his new role as associate editor. 
The publication committee is happy to welcome our new editor, Michael 
Torrusio (see: cover). Members will recall his excellent presenta- 
tion at our June meeting on the clamming and oystering industries in 
Raritan and New York Bays, past and present. We suggest that you 
deluge him with material for these NOTES.
