Shell gioielloShell gioiello In the January 1962 issue of the Philippine Shell News, page 2, I illustrated and attempted to give specific characters and distribution of these four seashells. This brief presentation, although not therein stated, was based on careful observation of more than 1,000 C. teres, 120 C. rashleighana, 10 C. subteres and 35 specimens of the admittedly then not completely documented C. latior. Shell gioielloShell gioiello At about 9 P.M. we went to the harbor tip beyond the docks. Here the shore slopes off gradually. The bottom is muddy with an occasional coral-head and a lot of sponge growth. With flashlight inside the look-box and our heads halfway inside, the better to see the bottom, we moved off. Mary found two Philippines shells to my one since this was her method of collecting and she knew where to look --- I didn't. Cypraea tigris, arabica, vitellus, and lynx were plentiful and there was an assortment of Conus, Terebra, Mitra, and Oliva. (On previous trips to this area, Mary had collected Cypraea mappa and argus as well as Conus tulipa.) I learned something. Not especially how to look for the Philippines shells but where to look.
