Paul, I think a lot of people received the same flyer.  Most of the
shells and coral listed are protected now.  You take a chance when you
order something, even it you get in by COD.  You have to pay before you
can open the boxes.  It might be just fine, but I'm going to ignore it.
Where did such a supply of flutted clams etc. come from?
