Dear Emilio P.,

Not having all the pop literature, I have been illuminated by Mariette
Jearey (R.S.A.) about an additional published revelation; I quote her email:

"I refer to Cowries and their relatives of Southern Africa by Bill Liltved,
page 96:
'To date approximately 6 sinistral specimens of C. edentula, 5 of C.
capensis, 3 C. fuscodentata, are known from Southern Africa.' (By the way,
that was known before I found my 2 C. capensis).  He also mentions the
following: '1 C. declivis (W. Australia), 1 C. mus (Venezuela), 1 C.
stolida (Queensland) and 1 C. zebra (Brazil)'"

These are bigger numbers of C. capensis and C. fuscodentata than we (with
full documentation) could previously account for, but I am utterly amazed
by the Cypraea zebra find!

Brasileiros: E verdade??
