Jewelry fashion imitation jewelryJewelry fashion imitation jewelry From radula studies it would appear that bregeriana is a subspecies of walkeri after all, and not a separate species as I always believed. However, it is open to doubt if radula comparisons are the only criterion in deciding a shell's specific identity. Besides, bregeriana and walkeri are closely allied, and no large differences were to be expected. It is Dr. Schilder's opinion, that there are no constant differences in radula between the species allied to arabica, and only few species of Erosaria have peculiar characteristics. On the other hand, among 20 C. stolida from Shimoni, six showed distinct central denticles in the middle of the median tooth, yet fourteen specimens showed no trace and the difference was not due to sexual differences. Such a difference according to Dr. Schilder could be treated as generic almost and the difference in radula of C. bicolor sometimes exceed usual subgeneric differences. It appears that the radula of a species is as variable as the shell itself, and it seems to me, that the live animal's colour of foot, mantle, papillae and tentacles are more constant than both radula and shell. Out of over 2000 Cypraea specimens I collected in Fiji for radula studies, only 6 specimens showed a gross colour difference from the usual colouring of the species.

It was alive. He found it on the reef. He doesn't remember whether it was after a storm or not. It is a beautiful shell with a strong orange luster. He brought it to the Children's Museum to be measured. He also brought along "some of his better Philippines shells," he said. He produced four Cypraea rashleighana, collected at Punaluu, Oahu, two Conus obscurus, one a typical dark brown, and the other mottled with a grayish color, looking for all the world like a juvenile geographus. was satisfied."
