After thinking it over, if Helmut will give me two shells I will give them
both to the C.O.A. auction.  The way I understand it, if you give Helmut 2
shells one goes to his collection and the other to "his" museum, I may be
wrong, but this is the way it sounds to me.  Hope to see you soon Lynn.

Dear shell friends around the world.
Dear Lynn Scheu and other friends, who don't like to see my private
messages on internet, sorry for this, but I will ask on this way
for one or two specimens of Cypraea teuleri in donation to the
natural history department of the Tiroler Landesmuseum Ferdinandeum.
We will put the name of the donator in the annual report of the
Tiroler Landesmuseum. As I am quite toothless (really at the moment
I have only a few own teeth in my mouth as I always have healthy problems
with my teeth a Cypraea without teeth should be well matched and go
with me) I am so dare to ask for this Cypraea for my work at the museum.
Hope that somebody is willing to send me Cypraea teuleri.
Hope for nice answers.
with best toothless greetings
yours sincerly Helmut Nisters
