Dear Bob,

I looked at your great pages. It is wonderful to see some of these shells
alive.

I have also recently acquired a specimen of this 'Phyllocoma' convoluta (as
illustrated in Shells of the Philippines). I severely doubt its generic
(even family) placement. I was wondering if it should be in the genus
Tritonoharpa (Plesiotritoninae which is supposedly a subfamily of the
Cancellariidae). Certainly, it looks little like anything else we call
Phyllocoma.

Andrew?
