Wood shells craftWood shells craft "R.J. Griffiths' listing of C. kuroharai Kuroda & Habe, 1961, is therefore entirely correct." The last word in the Golden Cowry (Cypraea aurantium Gmelin, 1791) story has not been told. Future researchers will have to tell it. This is the last in the present series (Jan. 1963 etc.) by the present writer. In this series, we have attempted to bring together all the valuable information on this beautiful shell. The present article is concerned with additional information resulting from a reading of the article by various shell collectors. One of the most interesting letters was received from Charles O. Kile who was formerly an employee of the Trust Territory and had many opportunities to learn about this shell. At present, Mr. Kile is retired but is still living at Agana, Guam, P.O. Box 2046. Pertinent parts of Mr. Kile's letter follows: Wood shells craftWood shells craft specimen of C. gaskoini has been collected by Mr. F.
