References to the Mollusc Fauna of the Red Sea:
by Henk Menis

Original Letters and list as sent to the Conch-L listserve
Dear ConchLers,
I will try to keep the References to the literature of the Red Sea molluscs as published in Dekker & Orlin, 2000 up-to-date in these instalments. Of course they can be used in any database program.
