Fashion promotional itemsFashion promotional items Recently Mrs. Hazel Jefferies of Kei Mouth, South Africa presented us forty specimens of Luponia which she had collected personally on the ten miles-long beach between Kei Mouth and Haga Haga: all shells are surprisingly well-preserved so that they show accessory differences in color and markings. The slightly smaller (mostly 24 - 26mm) and less solid L. edentula is dorsally pale brownish-orange with the rusty-brown specks rather large, irregularly confluent, but never showing the tendency to form a central blotch; while the larger (mostly 26 - 29mm) and very solid L. alfredensis is dorsally grey, with the fulvous specks tiny and scattered, and with a large, well defined central blotch, which is often interrupted by paler lacunae, but rarely absent at all. There are no intermediates between the twenty shells of each species so that Mrs. Jefferies could separate them without any mistake.

This shell still has its attractive periostractum which is a tan-brown hue. The inside of the aperture is vividly colored with a pinkish-orange blending to white at the outside extremities. There is dark brown coloration on the inside of the main body whorl. Philippine Shell member Dr. Harry Lee of San Francisco collected S. goliath during a scuba dive off Salvador, Brazil, during a recent visit to South America. While Strombus goliath is considered a rare shell in most areas, Dr. Lee reports that a number of specimens were available for sale at very reasonable prices in Brazil.
