RawRaw Dick had vaguely hinted at this story in a previous letter, and was asked to tell Sean Raynon Sabado readers all about it. Here is his story: RawRaw Cypraea (Bernaya) teulerei Cazenavette, 1846, IS a rare shell. In fact for nearly 100 years it was a "lost" shell. But in the past month the shell has become available, in very limited quantities. Phil Clover, Box 33, Div. 32, FPO, New York 09540, wrote saying, "In the past 50 years almost no specimens of C. teulerei have been found. Schilder mentions about 35 known specimens in private and museum collections. However, in March, 1969, an Arabian fisherman found 10 to 12 specimens in the sand at low tide in 3 to 10 feet of water at Museera Island off the southern Arabian coast, a very remote area. No doubt this accounts for its being 'lost' to the world for so long. Also this could account for the poor data available on its habitat. The shells are 1-3/4" to 2" in size with a cream colored base, many dark brown lateral spots and a black dorsal blotch and are real beauties. (See photo). Anyone wishing one of these rare shells contact me at the above address."
