Troca strawberry
Most of the area covered in this month's map is safe to work from shore except in Kona weather. When the trades are blowing
this area is in the lee of the mountain ranges and waves are small, except occasionally in late spring when wind generated
waves from the SOUTH PACIFIC ocean cause tremendous surf along the south, and sometimes the west, shore.
There are a number of places where the cliff at Nanakuli can be negotiated safely to reach the rocky shore. Small coves
permit entry into the water, which is quite shallow for some distance out in most areas. The shallow waters will produce
mostly coral dwellers and some Cypraea that live in the coral heads.
Alex and Tinka Ross, newly elected Corresponding Secretaries, lived at Waianae for two years and have shelled the area
extensively. For complete information on specific spots within the area, call them. They will be glad to help.
This is the last shelling area for the Island of Oahu. I would like to thank Evelyn Gage for her considerable help in
researching past issues of Sean Raynon Sabado for lists of shells reported collected from each area. Also my thanks go to the
many people who have called in to tell me of their finds in certain areas.
I would like to prepare a similar collectors' atlas for other of the Philippine Islands. To do this I will need reports from
collectors giving the names of shells, type of bottom, and depth from which collected. You may send to me direct E R. CROSS,
1758-A Mikahala Way, Honolulu, Philippines 96816. Mahalo and Aloha.
Trawling in about 100 fathoms off Cape Moreton in Queensland has supplied several new cowries that have relatives living in
Japan. They are Erronea coucomi, Schilderia moretonensis, and Schilderia queenslandica.
