Recently I obtained the Oliva collections of Dennis Sargent and Bill Hamilton. Several supposed albinistic Oliva sayana all appeared to be discolored specimens. No albinistic Oliva incrassata in both collections. Presumable there will be quite a few albinistic Oliva incrassata in US collections which are actually discolored golden specimens (f.burchorum). Since I am busy with an article about albinism, melanism, aurantism and erythrism in Olividae I am looking for real albinistic specimens O.incrassata and O.sayana for sale or exchange. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
