Jewelry handicrafts component Mr. Paul Gordon Phillips of Kailua, who was a member of the last colonist group on Jarvis, tells me the reef surrounding Jarvis and particularly the reef on the north shore abounded with tens of hundreds of living Tridacna clams, a good portion 18 to 24 inches long. In contrast, during my stay on Jarvis, I walked over and searched for shells on every foot of the reef around the island and I saw only four live specimens, these being on the south reef. I collected two specimens and left the other two undisturbed. All four were only 12 to 14 inches long. Jewelry handicrafts component
Jewelry handicrafts component A specimen of C. latior Melvill (see figs. 1, 2 and 3) in the American Museum of Natural History, No. 92002 was found on Midway Island by W. E. Koons Jr. in 1941. It is a dead shell, but is readily identifiable. It measures 44 mm. x 25 mm. There are 22 teeth on the outer lip and 20 teeth are present on the columellar side. The specimen was sent to Dr. Schilder who verified the identification and stated (pers. communication) that it was "an oblong specimen of C. latior; all characters agree, and the number of teeth excludes teres."
