Wood jewelryWood jewelry Early in September, Mr. Phillip Clover and his family stopped over briefly in Honolulu on their way for reassignment on the U.S. mainland. Fortunately Mr. Clover had in his possession the photographs you see reproduced above. Here is the story concerning these two shells with a brief description of the unidentified species. Some native fishermen caught several "groupers" while fishing with hand lines in 60 feet of water somewhere in the Sulu Sea. While cleaning these fish, two live-looking cowries were discovered among the stomach contents. Eventually those two shells came into the possession of a Mr. Porter who was able to identify one of them (Figs. 1-3) as C. leucodon, a "lost species" considered to be one of the world's rarest and most valuable shells. For almost one hundred years no new specimens of leucodon have been added to collections. It is reported that Mr. Porter has already turned down one offer of $1,500.00 for the leucodon.

In fact, the twinkling lights of Victoria Point in Burma cast their reflections upon the silty waters emptying from the Packchan River that flows between the mangrove islands and shoals off Ranong.
