NSR:  thanks for the warning in regards to the SirCam virus.  Within hours
of getting the news of it, it was sent to me .  It is came in under the
guise of:   'Hi! How are you?'
                                            'I send you this file in order
to have your advise'
                                            'See you later. Thanks'
If I had opened the attachment, it could have been disastrous.  Thanks to
the warning, I escaped this one.  So, one BIG thanks goes to the list!

<Hi,

I read your rather interesting site on mollusks and wondered whether you
know of some examples of pearls from murex trunculus. If the abalone and
the conch do it, why not the purpura snail? In case there are still
purpura snail farms around, do you know if they ever kept statistics on
pearl occurrence? I'm just wondering.
