Hello Marlo,

This is an excellent presentation of the species.
I do have a number of specimens from throughout the range that I can
photograph for you.
It will have to wait until after the holidays. You may contact me on my
personal email so that I can send photos to you electronically.

Best wishes and a Merry Christmas,

Subject: [CONCH-L] Oliva sayana

Recently I started to focus my presentations on the more common Florida
shells. Last week I started to address O. sayana. Over the years I had
accumulated quite a few. It was difficult to choose which ones to
photograph. So, I solved my dilemma by deciding to present shells from the
entire range in the USA. I certainly did not have complete coverage, but
thanks to many generous collectors over the years I did have a lot.

The following initial presentation includes 55 slides and presents 62
specimens, probably more than you'll want to see. But, I've presented at
least one shell from every county represented in my collection starting with
North Carolina and working around Florida to Texas.

I'd like to consider this a work in progress in hopes that enough readers
with first-hand collected material from states and counties not represented
will be encouraged to provide specimens (loan for photo session) or good
images (and data) so that we can create a complete tally by county of the
distribution of O. sayana in the USA.

Happy holiday viewing.
