Aloha to the cowry cognoscenti.
There are now two decades of cowry-related atricles from the
HAWAIIAN SHELL NEWS on-line at the Archive site of THE CAPTURED
COWRY http://www.geocities.com/~makuabob/
Also at this site are items from Griffiths' THE COWRY (9 issues) plus
Lidsey Groves' index to Cypraeacean and Triviacean Literature
(from the final issue of THE COWRY n.s.).
THE CAPTURED COWRY is at http://www.oaktree.net/makuabob/
The HAWAIIAN SHELL NEWS heating up at this point in its career, with
an exchange of "pleasantries" about what may or may not be the best
way to determines how new species of cowries should be assessed
to determine their status.
Check it all out.
Aloha,
makuabob (a.k.a. Bob Dayle)
