A professor from my long-ago PhD committee often collected at Tiwi Beach, S
of Mombasa in the Coast Province, which seemed to be quite worth-while.
Many cowries. He found several things there that were not 'supposed' to be
there, like Strombus urceus and S. luhuanus. Being an weevil-expert, he
generously passed on the shells to me. There is still some material I have
never been able to ID.
