I will try to post a new set of strange colourforms of tigris
(but also from other species) in May....

WHOW that orange one is amazing - I will trade you a gem leucodon for it, if you like

Thanks for your offer, Felix...
It must be a one-of-a-kind shell, I think for in 47 years shellcollecting this was the only one I saw...
I have more very special tigris. I will try to show photographs of them soon...
I wanted to visit your stand in Hoboken, but my wife became ill during the shellshow and we returned before
noon....
Hopefully better luck next time!

In a few months time I expect a new seamail-shipment from East-Africa (Zanzibar & Tanzania) containing several oustanding specimens of Cypraea tigris L.

Cypraea tigris L - probably one of the most variable?
