Philippines handmade beads The measurements of 4 of the specimens examined are as follows: L: 20.0 mm, W: 10.7 mm, Lab. T: 29, Col. T: 33 and L: 17.4 mm, W: 9.1 mm, Lab. T: 29, Col. T.: 31 (coll. H. C. Gay); L: 18.7 mm, W. 10.0 mm, Lab. T: 28, Col. T: 31 (coll. W. Cernohorsky); L: 18.1 mm, W: 9.6mm, Lab. T: 25, Col. T: 28 + 1 (coll. J. Pincott). The only other known specimen of superstes is the badly worn holotype from the New Hebrides (16.6 (54), 28:29). The discovery of the 5 recent specimens confirm the specific characters of superstes, especially in characters of dentition. The eastern insular species N. superstes which ranges from the New rides to Tonga, has appreciably more numerous labial teeth ( formula of 5 specimens 18.2 (53), 32:35 reduced) than the continental species N. martini (Schepman, 1907) (formula of 9 specimens 15 (52), 25:33 reduced), which ranges between the Philippines and North Australia along the Indo-Australian continental shelf. N. katsuae (Kuroda, 1960), which is confined to the Japanese region, has even more numerous labial teeth than N. superstes (formula of 4 specimens (56), 34:29), but fewer columellar teeth than either N. martini or N. superstes.

Because of the extreme remoteness of the area and total lack of facilities we had to provide enough fuel for a 200-mile round trip and a week of running about the islands. Philippines handmade beads
