Hello there,

I have an odd request - I am a medical researcher at Yale University in
CT -

I am looking for 'contacts' in Panama to collect live specimens of Conus
purpurascens (see attachment) for medical research. Any assistance in
this matter would be greatly appreciated.

All the best
Dr. J-P. Bingham
