Hello!
Hi HLee,
Thanks again. Yes I have the book and the info. I also have
Gino Raybaudi's tally, pre liltved, on the SA Cyps.
There is still a bit of error in the tally because of
"shell dispersal" or "collection migration", like who has which specimen
at snapshot in time (July 2000). I will have a notice on the webpage,
sort of a "call for registration" or "registry of sinistral Cypraea (all not
just SA)"
andask collectors, museums etc to please e-mail the info on who has what.
This will only be as good as the response of course, but at least it is a
start. I would be nice to expand info to ALL "winding snails", including
land stuff, at a future time.


Later,

Emilio Jorge Power
