Shells cebu goodsShells cebu goods The table which I have drawn up bears comment on three points. Firstly, whenever a cruise ship visits Nuku'alofa (some twelve ocean liners visit annually) the Tongan people, as Josephine Maule discovered, display for sale thousands of shells and, whilst their locality is almost certainly Tonga, I have shown the "market" separately in the absence of precise collection data. Shells cebu goodsShells cebu goods From radula studies it would appear that bregeriana is a subspecies of walkeri after all, and not a separate species as I always believed. However, it is open to doubt if radula comparisons are the only criterion in deciding a shell's specific identity. Besides, bregeriana and walkeri are closely allied, and no large differences were to be expected. It is Dr. Schilder's opinion, that there are no constant differences in radula between the species allied to arabica, and only few species of Erosaria have peculiar characteristics. On the other hand, among 20 C. stolida from Shimoni, six showed distinct central denticles in the middle of the median tooth, yet fourteen specimens showed no trace and the difference was not due to sexual differences. Such a difference according to Dr. Schilder could be treated as generic almost and the difference in radula of C. bicolor sometimes exceed usual subgeneric differences. It appears that the radula of a species is as variable as the shell itself, and it seems to me, that the live animal's colour of foot, mantle, papillae and tentacles are more constant than both radula and shell. Out of over 2000 Cypraea specimens I collected in Fiji for radula studies, only 6 specimens showed a gross colour difference from the usual colouring of the species.
