This issue is devoted to Karl Jacobson, the man, his wr 
his influence on so many of us. He steadily eWtichced the ateteure 
to report their observations -- however small -- in these NOTES, as 
the observations might be unrecorded and would add to the general 
knowledge of Mollusca. 
His presentations at New York Shell Club meetings and his writings 
for these NOTES enlivened and instructed. His many articles and 
reviews are listed in the indices of "New York Shell Club Notes." 
dr 
At the 1980 meeting of the American Malacological Union in Louis- 
ville, Kentucky, the membership voted Karl an Honorary Life Member 
for his contributions to the science of malacology, while still 
unaware of his passing. It is an honor of which he would have been 
proud.
