Dear all,
Could any of you help me with a reliable translation of the following
descriptions by Kinberg?
I can get the general sense (four years of Latin at school, but my poor
memory is what it is), but I would prefer to avoid any translation
misunderstandings.
BTW, these are /Owenias/ from the southwestern Atlantic. I believe they
need to be ressurrected :-)
Are their types still available, probably in Sweden?
Regards and thanks in advance,
Paulo Lana
