Philippines products capisPhilippines products capis Group 2 - Teratological forms: Incomplete dorsal design due to injury of the animal's mantle (C. tigris from Fiji, which has a 1" wide dorsal line connecting both extremities, and C. asellus in coll. Schilder with only 2 brown dorsal zones instead of 3). Misplaced dorsal ornamentation (C. argus) and the doubling of the yellow ring in C. annulus. Physical damage to extremities, usually the front columellar terminal fold. In such a ease the break is smoothed over, but not replaced. This is a common occurrence in 40% of specimens of C. dillwyni, and of C. cribraria and C. summersi from one locality in Fiji. Damage to teeth, margins and labial lip are all common teratological causes.

" Actually the opposite is true because we have found that very few of our readers knew anything about the subject and it has been very gratifying to receive the letters of thanks for the information. Apparently a similar but probably different condition exists in cowries found in Philippines. C. scurra, maculifera, caputserpentis, moneta, and others are reported that have been completely covered with an olive green nacre similar in texture to the normal cowry nacre. Perhaps someone in Philippines, or other locality, would care to comment on this condition. Or is this also melanism? Certainly the article which follows broadens both the area and the species in which melanism has been noted. Our sincere thanks to Mr. Summers. Ed. I have read the interesting articles on the above subject by Mr. Walter O. Cernohorsky in H.S.N., Vol. X, No. 10, August 1962 and by Mr. T. A. Garrard in H.S.N., Vol. XI, No. 1, November 1962. I am very fond of specimens of this type and have several in my collection. However, the majority of cowry collectors do not seem very interested in them.
