For all you Ranellidae collectors who were thrilled to read Russ Webb's account of collecting the seventh known to science specimen of this very rare species (March 1998 American Conchologist), it has now come to light that an eighth specimen has also recently been collected - quite possibly the largest in existence. Images of this specimen (as well as three of the other eight known specimens including the Holotype) are available for viewing at: http://home.sprynet.com/sprynet/wfrank/cymatium.htm Bill Frank 1865 Debutante Dr. Jacksonville, FL 32246-8645 Phone/FAX: (904) 724-5326 [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Visit the Jacksonville Shell Club Home Page at: http://home.sprynet.com/sprynet/wfrank/jacksonv.htm
