Jewelry man native philippine jewelryJewelry man native philippine jewelry Area 1 is noted mainly for Cypraea tigris. However, I have collected two Conus retifer both dead, one in fair and one in excellent condition. The area is basically a submerged coral reef with intermittent sand channels through which water, washed up on the reef by the ocean swells, flows back to sea. On top of the coral, usually in ten to fifteen feet of water, will be found Cypraea tigris. In the deeper coral areas along the slopes of the reef will be found the cones and other species listed for this area: Conus ebraeus 15 feet. Conus flavidus 15 to 20 feet. Conus abbreviatus 15 to 20 feet. Cypraea leviathan 10 feet. Cypraea mauritiana 20 to 25 feet. Latirus nodus In sand, most depths. Turbo intercostalis On rocks, 20 feet. Trochus intextus On coral heads, 20 feet. Peristernia chlorostoma Coral, all depths.

In the course of his work van Eck travels extensively in the Gazelle Peninsula, and his interest and knowledge of shells is well known to the local natives. Consequently he recognized immediately a Cypraea guttata when it was produced with other shells at Talwat Village, about 4 miles from Rabaul. The shell was purchased with other less rare shells from a native woman for a small sum, and van Eck returned to Rabaul, certain that he had a C. guttata but at the same time heading for the nearest reference books. The drawing in Tucker Abbott's Sea Shells of the World confirmed his hopes. The shell had a puncture hole in one side, was fairly dull in gloss and measured approx. 68mm in length.
