Philippines history of philippines native jewelryPhilippines history of philippines native jewelry In the January 1962 issue of the Philippine Shell News, page 2, I illustrated and attempted to give specific characters and distribution of these four seashells. This brief presentation, although not therein stated, was based on careful observation of more than 1,000 C. teres, 120 C. rashleighana, 10 C. subteres and 35 specimens of the admittedly then not completely documented C. latior. Philippines history of philippines native jewelryPhilippines history of philippines native jewelry Captain A. Deynzer collected 22 specimens of Cypraea caputserpentis (Linnaeus), between Mariveles and Cabcaban on Bataan, Philippines; all 22 specimens were damaged. The shells were pitted, wrinkled and grooved and the pattern on the dorsum was missing in parts and blistered. The exact cause of the damage is not known, but it is presumed that an unusually high concentration of mud at the locality may be responsible for the damage, since mud particles are visible under some of the blisters. West Australia Shells, one of our advertisers, recently sent us another series of photos of living shells. These are just as beautiful as they have been in the past. Each time we see these excellent color slides we want to say, "Hang the budget" and make a big splash with a full color issue. For this issue, at least, you will have to be satisfied with a black and white reproduction of Cypraea friendi vercoi on egg cluster (see below). The shell is one of the prettier of the sea shells. The eggs are brilliant light orange and have, apparently, been deposited in a leaf-like container.
