Hello All.

  I have been haveing several data issues from a dealer out of the
Philippines to the point it is hard for me to trust anything from him
now.  I recently purchased a Cymbiola aulica cathcartiae from him
from 'Balicag Island, Bohol'.  My only good reference Weaver &
Dupont's 'The Living Volutes' (rather dated reference) puts the range
further south off Mindanao and Zamboanga. So those of you with better
references, is his data possibly accurate?

Some of the other data issues have been blatant locality errors or errors
where where one locality was offered a second locality actually came with
the shell.  So I'd like to know if there is some merit to my most recent
data concern or if I need to apologize to the dealer.

Thank you.

Doug
