Therefore the wing stands behind 
the preceding whorl one after an- 
other, making twisted screw like 
appearance." 
The illustrated specimen is 78.9mm 
in length and 42.2mm at its maximum 
width and is in my private collec- 
tion. This specimen is 5mm greater 
in length than the largest specimen 
reported by Kosuge. I have also 
examined a specimen approximately 
35mm in size, almost 7mm smaller 
than the smallest reported in the 
BULLETIN.

"RANGE" EXTENSION 
Fred Cannon 
Recently I purchased an 1850 brownstone house in Brooklyn, New York. 
The house has most of its original architectural details but needed 
lots of restoration and cleaning. The original cast iron coal 
cooking range still remained in the kitchen. 
During the many weeks and months of hard work I often asked myself, 
"Why am I doing all this -- is the house and work really meant for 
me?" When I finally tackled the cleaning of the coal stove I not 
only discovered heaps of soot, ashes, coal and bricks, but a rather 
large, fine specimen of the common Moon Snail, Lunatia heros Say. 
I guess the house really had my name on it all the time. 

OUR THANKS: to Dorothy Janowsky for typing the new roster. 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!
