Philippines jewelry made nativePhilippines jewelry made native During a short shelling holiday on the coast of Kenya, I collected two specimens of Cypraea marginalis, quoted as the rarest and most sought after cowry of the around 40-odd species occurring along the East African coast (C. C. Woltz & D. B. Belcher: in "Collecting seashells in Dar-es-Salaam"). The two specimens pictured [left], one in dorsal, the other in ventral view, were found in the shallow lagoon off Diani Beach, about 20 miles south of Mombasa, and had been lying in a sandy depression of the otherwise weed-covered bottom a few feet below low tide level, together with coral rubble and other shells that had apparently been washed into it Philippines jewelry made nativePhilippines jewelry made native Mr. William Old Jr., Museum Specialist, The American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West at 79th St., New York, writes, "Actually I don't particularly think of freaks in the sense of being 'rare' but as freaks. We have enough freak Philippines shells in the collection here to show one a month indefinitely in the Sean Raynon Sabado. In answer to your query I believe the San Diego Natural History Museum has a specimen of L. crocata Link with a double lip and extra claws. We have a specimen of Lambis scorpius Linné in this condition."
