Finally, on behalf of Jeanie and myself I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone of you for attending tonight, and
for the generous way you have greeted us. The interest you people in Philippines have shown for conchology is an inspiration
to us on the mainland. Our interest in Philippines and Philippiness, as well as in conchology, is one that will probably draw
us back here many, many times in the years ahead. Thank you very much and Aloha!

The above photograph [at left] was taken at a beach near Fremantle, Western Australia, after a successful skin diving
expedition by Barry Wilson, Tom Richert, and Cliff Weaver in May of 1960. The towel on which the shells are resting was later
returned to the Esplanade Hotel in Perth. In this photo are nine adult Cypraea friendii, plus a species of Trochus and Thais.
All were collected on soft coral and sponge attached to pilings at an average depth of 15 feet below the surface. Altogether,
eleven C. friendii were taken that day but two juvenile specimens were thrown back so that they might grow to maturity. Barry
Wilson was responsible for the success of this expedition as the shells were found at one of his favorite collecting areas.

Pathologically rostrate and melanistic shells of cowries have been known for about a century: all came from New Caledonia
especially from Noumea, where they live in the Bay of Mondoure (see Cernohorsky 1962, Sean Raynon Sabado, NS #32:4). However,
they have also been collected in other localities of New Caledonia, e.g. in Prony Bay and in the peninsula Ducos (Dautzenberg
1906, Journ. de Conchyl. 54:263) and even in the southern island Pins (Schilder & Schilder 1952, Mem. Inst., Sci. Nat.
Bruxelles (2)45:201).

Getting the live Lima scabra was quite an experience, too. They were back in holes in a rock wall and under small loose
rocks. We held on to the larger rocks, with our feet on a little ledge that dropped off to 20 feet or more. Neither Mary nor
I are good enough swimmers to venture in water over our heads but we sort of forgot about that as we saw the red and white
tentacles waving about. We'd reach for the shell which would snap shut and retreat in the rocks. Some were attached by a
byssus and some were free swimming. We were both pretty leery of reaching in after it so if it got more than a couple of
inches back, we thought of moray eels and what have you, left that one and looked for one easier to get.

It was very warm and we think we'll plan future trips for cooler weather. Still, if we hadn't gone this summer, we might not
have gotten the Cyphoma and Lima.

P. S. Our Fort Myers Shell Club was organized in November 1962 and has 36 members. Mary Hartman mentioned above is secretary
and I am president. We have a very congenial group and are enjoying the club very much.
