Abstract

On page 24, in Table 1 several species identifications listed are incorrect. We attribute this to our limited experience prior to 2006 withbrackish- to fresh-water molluscs of the Black Sea and Caspian Sea. Well-illustrated recent articles (Orlova et al., 2005; Gelembiuk et al.,2006; Wesselingh, 2007), internet sites (e.g., www.gastropods.com) and helpful advice from William Ryan (Columbia University) haveallowed us to correct the errors. For six shells with radiocarbon laboratory numbers TO-11438, TO-11439, TO-11440, TO-11441, TO-11007and TO-11443, the revised shell identifications, respectively, are: the bivalves Monodacna pontica, Didacna ?praetrigonoides, Didacna spp.,Dreissena rostiformis, D. rostiformis, and the gastropod Theodoxus spp. In the description of Unit C on pages 25 and 26, references to Par-vicardium exiguum and Dreissena polymorpha should be replaced by Monodacna pontica, Didacna spp., Dreissena polymorpha andD. rostiformis.References
