PUBLICATIONS: 
A SPECIAL ISSUE THIS FALL 
The FESTIVUS is proud to announce its publication of a special issue 
this Fall entitled, "Muricacea; Catalogue of the Family Corallio- 
Dhilidae," by Anthony D'Attilio, co-author of "Murex Shells of the 
World," and assistant to the curator of Marine Invertebrates at the 
San Diego Natural History Museum. In the words of the author, this 
"catalogue consists of all taxa proposed for the family, specific 
and supraspecific. The list is complete as far as my research has 
shown," 
This work, an ambitious undertaking, will be a valuable tool for the 
researcher and amateur alike. As a service, the FESTIVUS will make 
copies available to non-members and/or additional copies to members 
at $2.00 a copy. (To get this issue along with the complete set of 
the FESTIVUS for 1978, send $3.00 for U.S. membership, $3.50 over- 
seas, payable to San Diego Shell Club, Inc., c/o 3883 Mt. Blackburn 
Avenue, San Diego, California 92111.)
