There are three types of publications presented on this page.  The HCS newsletter (The Epitonium) carries news and information of interest to HCS members.  The Articles of Interest section includes articles with information about shells, shell collections, shell collecting, and shell collectors.  Scientific Publications are serious research reports concerning the world of malacology.

The Epitonium

The Epitonium is published monthly, August through May, one week prior to each meeting and is an official publication of the Houston Conchology Society.  This newsletter keeps members informed of HCS activities and provides an exchange of information and ideas.  Items of interest concerning shells and shelling are welcome for publication.  Credit will be given to contributors when known unless anonymity is requested.

 Permission is granted for reprinting articles, provided credit is given to The Epitonium, the writer, and the Houston Conchology Society and a copy of the reprint is sent to the editor of the newsletter.
