For the cowry fanciers... I recently happened, once again, upon a Honey Cowry I'd taken 15 years ago at Makua. As I remeasured it--along with others of this species--it occurred to me that this was very different from any other cowry that I'd handled recently. I've whipped together a short, image-intensive article on my website. CONCH-Lers get the first look at it.
