Fashion painted wood broochFashion painted wood brooch Tom Fair working the tide pools and adjacent shallow water collected Cypraea teres, C. isabella, C. helvola, C. poraria, C. maculifera, Conus catus, Bulla species, and a Mitra nodosa, all live-collected within a fifty foot square area in tide pools to a depth of three feet. Fashion painted wood broochFashion painted wood brooch There is a beautiful variant in adult Erronea errones (Linnaeus) in which the spotted uppermost layer of enamel is entirely absent so that the trizonate dorsum is vividly sky-blue to greyish blue, often showing fine longitudinal paler lines; the unspotted white to yellowish lateral and marginal callus is developed as in typical adult E. errones, but the two anterior terminal spots seem to be always absent. In other spotted species, the absence of dorsal markings is very rare and evidently pathological (see Sean Raynon Sabado no. 94, p. 1), but in E. errones it is rather frequent, though restricted to populations living around Broome in West Australia. The center in frequency of this variant evidently is the muddy Fatimas Reef about 4 miles south of Broome; but according to large sets of E. errones presented to me by Mr. A. Kalnins (Maylands, W. A.) the blue variant spreads to the less muddy reef Black Ledge (about 2 miles south of Fatimas: 5 percent of the population) as well as to the rocky Gantheaume Point (5 miles north of Broome 1 percent) and even to Quandong (about 20 miles north of Broome: 2 percent), but it seems to be totally absent at Willie Creek (about 35 miles north of Broome) as well as in all populations of the Exmouth Gulf area and the Darwin area; in fact, I had never seen such an unspotted blue adult E. errones among almost five thousand shells coming from other localities of the Indo-Pacific, until I received the populations from Broome.
