Malacology or conchology?
The Nautilus (Philadelphia), v 104(4), pp 145-146
01 Jan 1990
Abstract
The choice of which of these two words to use depends not, as one might suppose, on etymology, priority, or the original intentions of the proposers, but on usage (and emotions!). The purposes of the present paper are to elaborate on these ideas, to record some apparently new insights on this old polemic, and to advocate use of malacology. This paper does not concern the pros and cons of studying living animals or shells.
