    Notes:
    FROM MY 2001 TRIP WHERE I STAYED FOR 3-MONTHS IN ASIA. CYPRAEA DANI WAS IN DEMAND SO I CHARTERED A SEAPLANE FOR 8 DAYS & WENT ISLAND HOPPING THE MAIN OUTER ISLANDS OF PALAWAN. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE SPECIES I NEEDED IN THE 100's & 1,000's. CERTAIN SPECIES LIKE THIS ONE WAS CONSIDERABLY LARGER IN THE SOUTHERN ISLANDS THAT ARE FAR FROM CIVILIZATION. ALSO THAE COLORS ARE DIFFERENT. STILL HAVE BOXES IN STORAGE OF LAND SNAILS TO OTHER MARINE SPECIES THAT ARE UN-OPENED IN STORAGE.
    THESE SHELLS AREN'T OFFERED THIS LARGE OR WITH DARKEN CORNER FOR EXAMPLE. ANOTHER DEALER IS OFFERING THIS SPECIES AT 1/2 THE SIZE & LACKING IN COLOR. YOU RARELY SEE THIS IN BOOKS (LIKE THE SHELLS OF THE PHILIPPINES). FOR YEARS I'VE SOLD THIS SPECIES BY THE GALLON BAGS AT CONVENTIONS. DOWN TO MY LAST BOX NOW.
