Our most exciting and productive trip so far began on June 11, 1963, when my friend Mary Hartman and I left Fort Myers bright
and early (5:45 am.) for four days in Marathon. We arrived at our regular headquarters, The Ranch House Motel, about 10:30
and were warmly greeted by our friends and hosts, Chuck and Sylvia Soumar, who filled us in on the latest shelling news.

Mary and I quickly changed to our swim suits, took our snorkels and started out for our familiar places where we found the
usual live Strombus gigas (all juveniles), Strombus raninus, Fasciolaria tulipa, Astraea longispina, brevispina and
americana, Pinna carnea, Nerita peloronta, versicolor and tessellata to name a few. Some of the new species for us this time
were one Prunum carneum so bright and pretty, one lovely pink Tegula, one Conus spurius atlanticus and many beautiful little
Neritina virginea which fascinated us with their many different patterns.

This was our first time to use snorkels and they opened up a new world for us. The water was beautifully clear and the
gorgonians, plume grasses, sea whips, sponges, coral, brilliantly colored tropical fish, huge sea urchins some with jet
black bodies and spines 6 to 8 inches long, others with scarlet red bodies and black spines or red bodies and red spines
kept us entranced so that we sometimes forgot to look for shells.

C. cribraria is not known to occur in Mauritius; Viader (Maurit. Inst. Bull., 1(2), 1937), recorded C. cribraria from
Mauritius, however, Viader's records are unreliable, and were compiled from literature records and not actual specimens
examined. Viader reports Pacific species, e.g. C. eburnea, C. mariae and C. gaskoini from Mauritius.

C. esontropia most probably evolved from C. cribraria, through effective geographical isolation, on the same lines as C.
caputdraconis from Easter Island (Pacific), C. semiplota Mighels and C. granulata Pease, from Philippines, and C.
erythraeensis Sowerby, from the Red Sea region. C. esontropia is regarded as a weak species by some, strong subspecies by
others, and a valid species by most workers.
