I have 4 specimens of Naquetia barclayi/annandalei (all from Philippines) with intact protoconchs. I am reluctant to lend these, because of the appalling mail service to and from here (Siargao, Philippines), but I could try photographing their protoconchs. Tucker Abbott and Dance, in 'Compendium of Seashells" show them as two separate species, from distinctly different areas, and I have to say that I see Harry G Lee's Conus barclayi, from Madagascar,http://www.jaxshells.org/barclayi.htm as quite different from my uniformly similar small series. regards Richard ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [log in to unmask] - a forum for informal discussions on molluscs To leave this list, click on the following web link: http://listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=conch-l&A=1 Type your email address and name in the appropriate box and click leave the list. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
