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...
