Hello Peter Egerton; I have about 8 specimens of nobilis in my collection all from Palawan. I have one in my collection purchased from Dick Kurz from the Marquezus which looks exactly like the ones from Palawan. If I mixed up the speciams you couldn't tell the differance. Evidently the locality makes the differance. Harry Tasker -------------- Original message -------------- Cone people, Just wondering about Conus cordigera. Is this a form of nobilis? What is the relationship here?
