Philippines jeweleryPhilippines jewelery Although I always have been interested in natural science, I only took up shell collecting seriously about three years ago. I have seen quite a number of Golden Cowries around here, but when I noticed in R. Tucker Abbott's little book Sea Shells Of The World that the Cypraea guttata was classified as very rare, I didn't give myself a chance of ever seeing one. Nevertheless, only a couple of months after I got this useful little book, I came across one, to my great surprise, of course. My work here in the Solomons includes occasional visit to native villages and on May 24th, 1963 I made a call at one of the many artificial little islands in the lagoon at Ataa. A man showed me a shell he had found in a fishI couldn't believe my eyes, but it was obvious that he had a Cypraea guttata. The color and pattern of spots were perfect; only there was a tiny spot at the posterior end, slightly on the side towards the inner lip, where the fish had left a tooth mark, probably trying to crush the shell before swallowing it. The outer polished surface was damaged, but not pierced right through. As a matter of fact, it is hardly noticeable. The story I got from the man was as follows.
