San Diego Shell Club . The Festivus strives to bridge the gap between club newsletters and scientific journals. Unlike newsletters, The Festivus does not include chatty news about members, poems, solicitations for shell exchanges, advertisements, puzzles, cartoons, and does not reprint previously published articles. In 1985 a review board of professional malacologists, now numbering eleven, was organized to evaluate serious articles submitted for publication. The Festivus , however, does not publish new taxa.
Back issues are available although some issues are only obtainable as xeroxed copies.
For prices of back issues see Supplements. In addition to our regular monthly issues, The Festivus has published eleven well-received supplements, ten are available for sale to the public. Return to Main Menu .
