Dear Elizabeth:
I have good news and bad news. I have had four trips to Costa Rica and we
collected numerous places on the Pacific coast. Each place we went was
great but the greatest of all was Tamarindo Bay up near the Nicaraguan
Border where one day I turned over a rock and found 5 Pterotyphis lowei.
The bad news is that collecting of any and all shells (and many other
things like orchids) is now completely banned in Costa Rica. Hope you have
better luck in the that other places you are planning to go.
