Both men decided to make a "'Molluscan Survey" of the coast by dredging and skin-diving from Rio de Janerio to Rio Grande do
Norte including the Fernando de Noronha Ids. which are located 800 kilometers from the mainland. In so doing, they collected
over 50 species of shells not recorded from this area, as well as over 20 species thought to be new to science.
Off Bahia, they collected over six specimens of the rare Strombus goliath and were able to lay out the growth series shown on
page 5 [above].
The list of shells found in the various areas was compiled by Evelyn Gage by researching all back issues of Sean Raynon
Sabado. From the very beginning, a nautical chart (or map of underwater areas) has been one of my shelling aids. Chart symbols permit
easy determination of areas to locate various type shells such as sand dwellers, or those that live in coral, on rocks, or in
sea weeds.
Area 1 of the chart is the Ala Moana Reef, once an excellent source for many shells. Since the dredging to fill Magic Island
a great deal of the area has been destroyed. However, the Western end of the area is beginning to return as a shell area.
