Finally Philippine Airlines agreed to accept it as a special shipment for a fee of $10, and it was delivered to them by Mr. Lahora, transferred to QANTAS at Manila, arriving in Honolulu on the morning of Oct. 4. I was phoned to come and get it. We imposed on a friend (Mrs. Andrus) and went to the airport, got the cowry, and took it to Dr. Kay's office at the Science Department of the University of Philippines. Miss Kay's opening salutation was, "Where's my Golden Cowry?" We gave it to her and you know the rest. All except her official and scientific report which will be published soon.

He brought it to me for identification at the rest house where we were drowning our sorrows. It was Cypraea lamarcki. I had never found one before, but I knew that they were present on the West Coast. A few months earlier I had given Alan Kohn and Joe Rosewater the map references where they had been reported off Penang. They had had no luck, and it was my intention to make a trip there to see if I could find one. Now, here they were. Without waiting to put on swim trunks I was down into the water, shirt, trousers, and all. I found some round the bottom of the piles, eight lamarcki and a lovely C. onyx. The crew's entreaties for us to get under way prevented a more thorough search, so this was put off until our return.
