Hirase, "Illustrations of a Thousand Shells" (vol. 4, fig. 319, published in 1922)
Does not appear to be available online -- or may only be catalogued under the Japanese name, "Kai Chigusa."

Hi, everyone!

I am preparing some information on Korean Volutidae.  I am unable to find the original description of Fulgoraria kaneko Hirase, 1922.
If anyone has this description or knows where to find it, please let me know.  Any information would be helpful.
Happy New Year!
Ron Noseworthy
