Jewelry handmadeJewelry handmade That at least some species of Cypraea entered the Philippines archipelago by way of the north-western islands is suggested by the distribution of all endemic species, with the exception of C. gaskoini, throughout the Philippines group. Other explanations for the occurrence of the endemics throughout the chain are, of course, possible, e.g. that since they represent offshoots of the first immigrants there has been a long enough period of time for speciation to occur, there has also been sufficient time for spreading in the archipelago. Faunal records for other marine invertebrates, especially those for Acropora, a reef-forming coral at Midway which is absent from the eastern islands; the records of several species of recently dredged mollusca from Philippines waters which resemble those of Japan; and the similarity of several echinoderms of the north-western islands with those of Japanese waters (Fisher, 1925) are further evidence in favor of the hypothesis.

These were C. depressa, C. errones, C. limacina, C. scurra, C. staphylaea, C. testudinaria, C. ventriculus, and C. yakola. The best part of obtaining shells from the local sellers is the price. The most expensive shell we purchased in the above list was C. testudinaria. It cost us, at the time, $US 0.50, because "Thees one many beeg." We acquired a C. argus and C. scurra together for $US 0.25. Ah, what bargains await the shell collector in American Samoa. C. errones was one species that proved to be fairly common from the local sellers and yet we did not collect a live specimen. Perhaps the seashells that we could acquire only from the natives are confined to reefs that we never visited.
