The parade of cowry-authors down through the years is an impressive one: Gaskoin, Gray, Jousseaume, Hidalgo, Menke, Brazier,
Hedley, Cox, Iredale, Cotton, and perhaps the greatest workers of them all, the Schilders, who have devoted their lives to
the research of every possible facet that could be considered as pertinent to the study of Cypraea.
I'd like to single out just two or three of the more important of the systematic works in this family that have played a
major role in the various revisions that have taken place. First of these is the work published in 1884 by Jousseaume in the
Bulletin of Zoology in France. Jousseaume established, in this paper, many of the generic groups still in use today --
defining their limits and grouping species roughly into these genera.
Area 6 of those under discussion is probably my favorite collecting area. Shells are not too plentiful but those found are
usually uncommon, rare, very rare, or extremely rare species. All shells listed for Area 2 have been collected in this area.
In addition the following shells have been found: Murex pele Under coral. Murex insularum Under coral or in open. Cypraea cernica (2) Under small pieces of coral. Clivipolia fragaria (1) Under small coral chunk. Conus circumactus (1) -In large coral head. Fusinus species (3) On coral bottom in open. Cypraea rashleighana (3) Under small coral slabs. Conus acutangulus (3) In sandy silt. Casmaria vibex (2) In silt under coral rubble. Codakia thaanumi (2) In silty bottom. Nodipectin langfordi In silty bottom. Tellina crassiplicata In silty bottom. Glycymeris diomedea In silty bottom. Terebra subulata (1)- In sandy patch. Conus spiceri (2) Under large coral head. Harpa amouretta (1) In silty patch.
