The Philippine Malacological Society's manual HELPFUL HINTS FOR SHELL HUNTERS is strongly recommended reading for the
beginner in Philippine collecting. Chapter 1, A Beach Collectors Log, by Harold Baker is an encouraging bit of reading for
the beach collector. Hand Dredging for Shells, by Elizabeth Harrison and Harold Jewell offers many suggestions for getting
the deep water dwellers without diving (Chapter V). Another interesting chapter, by Jim and Gertrude Andrus, is Fanning Sand
for Shells in which there are many tips for finding the sand dwellers. Chapter XI, Time and Tide conditions, by Evelyn Gage
is also a real help in planning the collecting day. Then there is the Map of Shelling Beaches and the Habitat Locator
developed by Spencer Tinker and R. Gage. This manual, from cover to cover, is truly full of HELPFUL HINTS FOR SHELL
COLLECTORS.
The aim of the dictionary is to record as far as possible the pronunciations prevailing in the best current usage. It does
not attempt to dictate what that usage should be. So don't be afraid of Latin names. Since the pronunciation is correct if "a
sufficient number of cultivated speakers" use it, you may be contributing to the next edition of the dictionary if you and
your fellow shell-club members get together on the pronunciation of a scientific name.

Last year Frank Adams took a friend, Dennis Griffin, ETSN, of the U.S.S. Goldsborough, to Kuhio Beach to teach him how to
look for shells. Incidentally Kuhio Beach is a popular bathing and surfing area in Waikiki and therefore heavily populated.
Sea conditions were too bad for scuba diving off-shore but Frank and Dennis were able to work in shallow water inside the
breakers. As they snorkeled along the surface, Frank would point out likely looking coral slabs under which he or Dennis
might find shells. Then they would dive down turn over the slab and fan the silt. This searching produced two Conus pennaceus
and one Cypraea moneta.
