Hello everyone, and Happy Mothers Day to all Mothers on the "L".

My collection seems to be growing in species these days, sometimes without
adding specimens. I'm a bit confused about a couple shells I have, as to if
they are a different form, or what I have. Please view them in the "Help"
album at:

http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=525417&a=6206291

#1: I always thought this was a rounded form of Busycon sinistrum, but is it
really B.  Aspinosum?

#2 & #3: I know #3 is Fasciolaria tulipa, but is #2? (both live collected in
same shallow area)

#4 & #5: I know #5 is Busycon spiratum, and I'm pretty sure #4 is not the
same. (both live collected in same shallow area)

#6: I thought this was just another Oliva sayana, but I've been lead to
believe this is the "citrina" form. I was told that what mattered for this
form was the background color, not the pattern. I always thought the whole
shell was pretty much yellow or golden in color for it to be the citrina form.

Thank you very much to all who reply!

Scott
