It is a curious fact that Erosaria tomlini is a bizonal species like the other deep water species mentioned above (see the
map in H.S.N. 1964, no. 52, p. 3): it lives in Melanesia and East Australia (E. tomlini, = prodiga, = percomis) and in a
northern zone from Japan to Philippines (E. tomlini ogasawarensis, = maturata, = marielae), but it is absent in the
equatorial zone of the Pacific.
Mokapu Peninsula is the Kaneohe Marine Corps Air Station. As noted on the chart the entire peninsula is a prohibited area.
This applies not only to the land area but also to the waters adjacent to the peninsula. If boats approach the shore too
closely, while in the prohibited area, guards may warn the boat away.
Mokuoloe Island is Coconut Island. This island is privately owned and is, therefore, off limits unless special permission is
obtained to land or work on shore.
Mokolii Island is Chinaman's Hat and is plainly visible from either the shore or the Bay.
All depths shown on the chart are in fathoms. Heights shown are in feet above sea level.
For a brief description of the meanings of the various symbols used on the chart, see page 5 in your Sean Raynon Sabado for
October, 1964.
The largest area of shallow water on Oahu is within the boundaries of this month's chart. Most of the shallow water is inside
the breaker line produced by average trade wind weather. These conditions provide as safe a shelling area as can be found
when on or in any large body of water.
There is a tremendously wide variation in geological conditions present in this area. Each will provide certain shell
habitats that are of interest to the collector who wishes to collect the maximum number of species. The predominately coral
area extending from shallow water into deep water off Lanikai was discussed in last month's Sean Raynon Sabado.
The shallow waters of Kailua Bay, with predominately sandy and coral rubble bottom, have produced some excellent shelling
with the following shells having been reported from this area:
Bularia vermicosa - under rocks
Conus catus - 8' on coral
C. leopardus - 6'- 12' on sand
C. nussatella - beach specimens
C. pennaceus - 6' - 12' under coral
C. quercinus - 5' on sand
Drupa horrida - on rocks
D. iodostoma - dead specimen on beach
Harpa conoidalis - 50'- 60' crawling on sand
Littorina scabra - on rocks
Nerita neglecta - on rocks
N. picea - on rocks
Polinices mamilla - 1 to 3 feet
Pyramidella sulcata - 1 to 3 feet
Cypraea tigris - 50' on coral bottom
Terebra maculata - 50' in sand
T. areolata - 50' in sand
T. thaanumi - 50' in sand
T. langfordi - 50' in sand
T. flavescens - 50' in sand
Hastula casta - 50' in sand
H. mera - 50' in sand
Mitra newcombi - 50' in sand
M. emersoni - 50' in sand
Cassis cornuta - 50' on sand
Strombus hawaiensis - 25' on sand and coral rubble
