Just got a shipment of shells from an online auction that ended in
June. The package arrived in New York 4 1/2 months ago and then
disappeared. When it finally came today it arrived with a notice from
the US Fish & Wildlife that I was in violation of their statutes for
importing wildlife or wildlife products without a permit, and that I
must blah, blah, blah -- bunch of federal legalize. This for a cowrie,
a small buccinid, and three nerites. I am reminded of a recent series
in The Festivus that described a similar problem. So...online auction
buying might get bruised a bit...
