A biography of the late James H. McLean, former Curator of Malacology at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles
County is provided. It is complemented with a full bibliography and list of 344 taxa named by him and co-authors (with
type information and current status), as well as 40 patronyms.
Biography
James Hamilton McLean was born in Detroit, Michigan, on June 17, 1936. The McLean family moved to
Dobbs Ferry, New York, on the Hudson River in 1940, a short train ride and subway ride away from the
American Museum of Natural History (AMNH). His brother Hugh recalled that, “AMNH became the place of
choice to go to whenever we could get someone to take us. Those visits opened our eyes to the variety and
possibilities of what was out there, waiting for us to discover and collect.” From an early age James seemed
destined to have a career at a museum (Figs 1–2). In his teens, he raised tropical fish and collected shells and
other forms of marine life, and it became readily apparent to his family that a career in biology was ahead
(Fig. 3). A summer marine biology course in 1955 under notable biologist Gilbert Voss at the University of
Miami further whetted his career aspirations.
He graduated from Wesleyan University, in Middletown, Connecticut, in 1958 with an A.B. in biology
and proceeded to earn his Ph.D. in biology at Stanford University under the guidance of world-renowned
malacologist and paleontologist A. Myra Keen in 1966 (Fig. 5), two years after his arrival at the Los Angeles
County Museum of Natural History (LACM: Fig. 6), now known as the Natural History Museum of Los
Angeles County. A memo from then LACM Director Dr. Herbert Friedman dated September 10th , 1964,
stated, “James H. McLean, an expert on the marine mollusks of the West Coast, has joined the staff of the Los
Angeles County Museum as a curator of Invertebrate Zoology.” His dissertation, West American prosobranch
Gastropoda: Superfamilies Patellacea, Pleurotomariacea, and Fissurellacea, was finally awarded in June
1966. James used his prowess for SCUBA diving and collecting to build the LACM Malacology collection
into its status as one of the largest mollusk collections in the world. He traveled to and collected from
numerous destinations worldwide including the west coast of the Americas from Alaska to Chile, the
Caribbean, including Jamaica, Cuba, the Bahamas, and Venezuela, and the Indo-Pacific including Sri Lanka,
Japan, Australia, Tanzania, Cook Islands, Indonesia, Hawaiʻi on shelling tours and with colleagues (Figs 7–8).
James was also instrumental in acquiring many orphaned private and professional collections for LACM
Malacology, most notably portions of the vast Alan Hancock Foundation collection from the University of
Southern California in 1985. He was an active member of numerous malacological organizations including
the American Malacological Union/Society (President, hosting 55th annual meeting, 1989), the Western
Society of Malacologists (President, 1974), the San Diego Shell Club, and was a long-time sponsor of the
Conchological Club of Southern California, which met at LACM. James was also a member of the Council of
Systematic Malacologists and served on the editorial boards of many professional journals including The

Veliger, The Nautilus, and the American Malacological Bulletin. He authored or co-authored over 140 peerreviewed papers, meeting abstracts, and popular papers. His list of co-authors is a veritable who’s who of
prominent malacologists and paleontologists of the past and present, including George P. Kanakoff, Buzz
Owen, Roy Poorman, Helen DuShane, Ian McT. Cowan, Jim Nybakken, Vera Fretter, Philippe Bouchet,
Anders Warén, David Lindberg, Rae Baxter, Gerhard Haszprunar, Richard Kilburn, Carole Hickman (Fig.
12), Stefan Kiel, Bill Emerson (Fig. 14), Eugene Coan (Fig. 13), Daniel Geiger, Jerry Harasewych, Serge
Gofas, and Ángel Valdés. James and co-authors described 344 molluscan taxa over 53 years (from 1959
through 2012), mostly from the eastern Pacific Ocean. In recognition of his vast knowledge and appreciation
of mollusks, colleagues have named at least 37 taxa for him including gastropods, chitons, bivalves, and even
a scaphopod.

While Curator, James also mentored graduate and undergraduate students including naticid specialist Louie
Marincovich (University of Southern California) who went on to a career with the U.S. Geological Survey, and
haliotid specialist Daniel Geiger (also USC) who is now Curator of Malacology at the Santa Barbara Museum
of Natural History. Jim (as he preferred) was actively interested in the next generation of malacologists and
initiated contact with new students, such as Geiger at the WCM 1992 in Siena (Geiger pers. comm.). He was
very patient with students and their first attempts at scientific writing, instilling a solid foundation in that craft.
Once he pronounced a manuscript ready to be submitted, the greatest hurdle had been overcome.
Volunteers were also an important aspect of the Malacology Department during Dr. McLean’s tenure, and
processed hundreds of sediment samples (“grunge” according to James) from all over the world. Some key
volunteers included the late Edith Abbott, Elizabeth Veal, Yvonne Albi, and Bertram Draper. Notably, James
and staff member Patrick LaFollette pioneered the use of computers for collection management, databasing,
and word processing at LACM in the mid 1980’s. Much of the format and contents of the early database
known as “MALCAT” was transferred to successive data management systems and is still in use today.

James was interested in all shelled gastropods, especially the Archaeogastropoda (now Patellogastropoda
+ Vetigastropoda) but developed a special fondness for the Turridae in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, and
published several major treatments including the extensive turrid section in the second edition of A. Myra
Keen’s Sea Shells of Tropical West America (1971). His documentation of the unique predatory feeding
behavior of the chiton Placiphorella in 1962 was a first. When hydrothermal vent faunas were discovered in
1977, James was recruited to study newly discovered limpet-like mollusks. His efforts resulted in the
descriptions of 60+ new superfamilies, families, subfamilies, families, genera, subgenera, species, and
subspecies in 16 papers. James’ crowning achievement was a 1990 book on the suprageneric classification of
the trochacean gastropods with long-time colleague Carole Hickman as senior author, for which he received
an award from LACM. Later in his career, he put much effort into monographs on the liotioideans, colloniids,
and the shelled gastropods of the northeast Pacific.
In addition, he published regional guides to the shelled gastropods of southern California. First, the
Marine Shells of Southern California, which was published in 1969, with a second edition in 1978. He also
contributed the gastropod sections to both the Taxonomic Atlas of the Benthic Fauna of the Santa Maria Basin
and Western Santa Barbara Channels as well as Light’s Manual. Those remain the current identification
guides to the marine snails of the area.
Jim was an opinionated with a sharp sense of humor, once one got to know him. While he referred to
fossils as “very dead shells,” the copy of Wenz’ Handbuch der Paläozoologie was on long-term loan from the
USC library right by his desk. He had an encyclopedic knowledge of the gastropod literature. Any obscure
question was met with a moment of reflection, followed by a quiet turn to the bookshelves, where he would
pull out just the right tome.
In March of 2001, James retired from LACM after 37 years, but remained a fixture on the Museum’s 3rd
floor adjacent to the malacology collections usually until late in the evening (Figs 4, 9, 10). This also included
weekends and holidays. His status of Curator Emeritus was held until December of 2013 when he was given
Research Associate standing and his office was reassigned to other staff. James then worked on his research at
home but still managed to visit the museum several times a week throughout most of 2014. Unfortunately, in

late 2014, deteriorating health required hospitalization and recuperation at the home of long-time friend Pat
LaFollette in Cathedral City, California, and ultimately 24/7 care at a nearby facility. In May of 2015, James
was moved to a full-time care facility in South Windsor, Connecticut, to be near family where he spent his
remaining days.

On Friday, November 11th, 2016, the malacological world lost one of its great taxonomists as James
passed away with brothers Hugh and Arthur and other family members at his side. In June of 2017, the
Western Society of Malacologists held its 50th meeting in Los Angeles during which Jim was honored as the
namesake of the LACM Malacology collection and remembered by a dedication delivered by Lindsey
Groves. Donations in honor and recognition of James were made to the James H. McLean Student Grant in
Collections-Based Research, which funds one to two student proposals per year (see the WSM website for
details: http://westernsocietymalacology.org/grants/james-h-mclean-student-grant-in-collections-basedresearch/). Unfortunately, James was not able to personally realize his goal of a monograph of the shelled
gastropods of the eastern Pacific from central Baja, California to Arctic Alaska. However, the collection of
papers herein on varied gastropod taxa have been contributed by numerous authors and edited by Daniel
Geiger (Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History), Jann Vendetti (LACM Malacology), and Lindsey T.
Groves (LACM Malacology) to honor Jim’s work and legacy.

On a more personal level from the senior author, Jim was a devout liberal (“Friends don’t let friends vote
Republican”), a Rolling Stones fan, and collector of succulents from all over the world, especially the
euphorbiaceans (Fig. 17). He also enjoyed riding his bicycle along the beach in Santa Monica and Venice,
loved hard candy, regularly went to the movies, and was a great dancer according to Anne Joffee [Sanibel,
Florida] (pers. comm. 2018: Fig. 16). I was introduced to Jim at the May, 1986 meeting of the Conchological
Club of Southern California by colleague and friend Dick Squires (LACMIP Research Associate) who
stressed that “he’s a good person to know.” I was in the throes of my master’s degree work at that time and I
visited the Malacology and Invertebrate Paleontology sections at LACM numerous times to compare fossil
mollusks with Recent specimens and even had some in-depth faunal discussions with Jim. He delighted in
telling me that my fossil specimens were “very dead shells.” Little did I know that barely two years later I
would be working with him in Malacology. It has been an amazing 30+ years, and I’m still here at LACM.
Thank you Jim!

Taxa named by James H. McLean, systematic order
At least 344 gastropod taxa and two monoplacophoran taxa described by J.H. McLean and co-authors are
listed in systematic order following the classification of Bouchet et al. (2017). These 344 taxa include one
order, four superfamilies, 10 families, 13 subfamilies, four tribes, 58 genera, 11 subgenera, 242 species, and
one subspecies. Note that some higher-level taxa have been raised and/or lowered and some have been placed
in synonymy. Updated taxonomy, when known, is noted following each entry. †Denotes fossil taxa
