Hi all,
 
Not wanting to disappoint those who have gotten into our latest theme,
here's my question: If a tornado was headed straight for your Scaphella
junonia collection, how would you be able to tell which of your specimens
are subspecies johnstonae? I have been told that once you know what to look
for, it's easy to tell them apart. So what do I look for? Also, according to
several books, the species has three specific geographical subspecies and
you can tell which is which (at least partially) by where the shell was found.
 
As always, many thanks in advance for any and all information you may
be able to pass along to me on this subject. Hope everyone has had a good
weekend (and it's obviously been a quiet one on Conch-L).
 
Best regards,
Jim
