Hi Brian I beleive there is a photo of it in the Hawaiian Shell News, which can be viewed on Poppe's site. However, I will check in some of the back Museum magazines to see if there is a picture there I can scan. If not I'll take one next time I'm there.

But my database shows 914 mm for Syrinx aruanus. If not a typo, that number probably came from that list. Could someone double-check that?
