Fashion capsFashion caps So it was, the day I found my first live Cypraea gaskoini. There were five of us in the shelling group that weekend: Joe Kern, Speedy Lopez, Jack Lind, Frankie Gomez and I. Being newly arrived in Maui, Frankie, our captain guide and diving buddy, was going to show me a new collecting area for Cypraea. Fashion capsFashion caps Mr. W. Hart-Smith of North Sydney, N.S.W., was happy enough to discover a second specimen of Notadusta hartsmithi Schilder 1967 (see No. 93, p. 6, September, 1967). The figured shell has been collected by him on January 29, 1968, on the beach of Long Reef near Sydney and it has been sent to the writer for examination and return. This second shell quite agrees with the holotype in size (23 mm), shape, dentition (30 labial and 21 columellar teeth) and the characteristic fossula, but it is a more callous specimen with the right margin more protruding and the base very convex. The uppermost layer of dorsal enamel is ground off, so that presence or absence of dorsal spots cannot be guessed; but the second layer shows that the dorsum was greyish-tan, crossed by two very distinct narrow zones of darker brown square spots with a similar row of smaller spots encircling the spire. The chestnut spots above and below the pale tan right margin are coarser and more distinct.
