Snail
The second incident, involving the sought after shell, occurred two months ago on Oahu's Waianae Coast. At this time a dive
was made a few hundred yards offshore of Makaha in about 45 feet of water. Again the bottom was hard coral covered with a
layer of clean, coarse sand. One of the members of the group shelling this station produced a perfect juvenile shell about an
inch and a quarter long. The shell was dead, and could have washed in from another area, but its perfect condition said that
"the area" could not be too far away! As before, no repeat dives were made in the area, so its potential remains untapped.
The discovery of Umbilia hesitata off Point Lookout is very surprising, as the nearest known localities farther south, Port
Stephens and Wollongong, are about 400 and 500 miles off respectively, and the coastal current in this area runs in a
contrary direction from north to south. Therefore, deep sea dredging has uncovered another mystery in distribution of
cowries.
