R. Cross in the September issue of your Philippine Shells News, and as one of those who "have showed up and do collect" in this area it was a frustrating experience. For two years and a half my husband and I have spent our week-ends shelling in the Red Sea; on reefs, in shallow bays, under rocks, in weeds, deep water and shallow, the year around and not even a dead Cypraea teulèrei! We have bought shells from the local fishermen, both in Port Sudan and up and down the coast here. We have never seen a C. teulèrei. We have some seventeen species of Cypraea in this area. Twelve species that you are almost sure to find and four or five that are not common. I have yet to find a Cypraea exusta Sowerby, a Red Sea species of Cypraea talpa Linné. I know of four that have been given people by local Arabs or that they have found dead. We seldom find Cypraea pulchra Gray. I only have one. I don't suppose we have found more than a dozen Cypraea erythaeenis Sowerby. But now Mr. Cross has upset the apple cart. No one has a C. teulèrei or has even seen one. Your remarkable map (from the Gemini Space craft) shows C. teulèrei across from us, north of us, south of us and in the Persian Gulf. One of our group has even been on Museera (Al Masirah) Island. Mr. Cross is right, this IS a rare shell. Thanks for sending the copy to us, as you can imagine it created a small sensation.
