(1) A recent post at A Snails's Eye View was about the conchology book Edgar Allan Poe wrote, or rather plagiarized.(2) interests are in all things molluscan, ie: shell collecting (recent and fossil), conchology and malacology (study of shells and shellfish), and molluscan ecology and conservation.(3) Author of dozens of books on conchology , Senior Advisor, Founding Director, and finally Museum Director of the Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum, Abbott brought the world of conchology to the public.(4) The beginnings of shell collecting and its scientific study, conchology , are not very far removed from that beach-combing experience: a beautiful object washed up on a beach was taken and admired.(5) Charles became well-known as a botanist and conchologist .(6) His wife, Carrie, was the daughter of John Ford, a well-known conchologist connected with the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences.(7) As a conchologist , he described the shells collected on the United States Exploring Expedition by Joseph P. Couthouy, a fellow member with Gould of the BSNH, and other members of the Expedition's scientific staff.(8) Moreover, the species descriptions were restricted to conchological characters only, removing any inherent inequality between the roles of extant and extinct species in the analyses.(9) The conchologist was probably John Warren, described by Dall as a stout, florid, old Englishman who dealt in shells and curios.(10) Golikov & Tarobogatov place the Metoptomatidae among the Helcionellida on the basis of conchological similarity.(11) Further anatomical and conchological investigations of bivalves continued to prove useful for finding more characters.(12) Conchology and Malacology are the study of the Mollusca.(13) Perhaps the most interesting feature of this subclade though is not conchological , but biogeographical.(14) Anatomical data for V. sinense are lacking, but its conchological scores are identical to V multispinosum and V. asiaticum.(15) The nine civilians on the expedition included two artists, two botanists, a conchologist , a geologist, two naturalists, and a philologist.
