Thank you very much for your informative mail, Mr. Kim. I have a copy of Registry, it is a excellent book! I am looking forward to reading the next issue of the book in July 2001 :) I think "Registry" is good since it registered not only the largest size of the shell, but also the smallest. I collect cowries, it is very useful for me :)..... By the way, I cannot find the smallest size of Cypraea Teramachii in "Registry". The largest size of it is 78.0 mm. What's the smallest size, if anyone of you can teach me a little, I will thank you very much :) In addition, the largest and smallest sizes of Cyp. Teramachii which were registered by Mr. Nishimura in last year is 54.5 mm (Dr. Okutani collec.) ----- 78.0 mm (National Museum of Natural History, Tokyo) Thanks everyone who reply the question :) - Jiongtao http://www.soft.ics.keio.ac.jp/~huang/ ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
