Hello all.

  I just pulled out my copy of Abbotts 'Golden Guide Seashells of the
World' (I've been through a couple of copies over the years.  Anyway for
grins I was leafing through the book and saw "Morum exquisitium".  I
started to think about it; even with everything I've seen coming out of
the Philippines, and this is evidently a shell from the Philippines, I
don't think I've ever seen a dealer offer one that I am aware of.
Watching all the other Philippine 'rareities' drop like flies I was
wondering why this one might still be up unobtainable.  Not that I'm
complaining; in fact I'm actually glad there are some shells one can't
get. Anyway, I'm just curious.

Thanks

Doug
