6月26日下午3時由中華空間資訊學會理事長陳端墀教授

演講『遙感探測、旅遊與貝殼蒐集』

一、主編序言廖志飛
在國家地理頻道看到「好奇故我在」之字樣，心生好奇去檢索相關資訊，發現其英文為live curious，而其相關的網頁在http://www.ngc.com.tw/livecurious/，是一個把好奇變成一種生活方式的電視頻道的廣告。在此網頁《如果》框窗下有一段文字闡示「好奇故我在」：存在就會呼吸，呼吸就會說話，說話就會發問，發問就會思考，思考就會尋找，尋找就會體驗，體驗就會學習，學習就會成長，成長就會盼望，盼望就會發現，發現就會懷疑，懷疑就會提問，提問就會明白，明白就會知道，知道就想知道更多，想知道更多才是真正地活著。

在貝類世界亦充滿各種驚奇，相信每位貝友均是對貝殼有所好奇，因而把收藏、品賞貝殼變成生活方式的一部份。在此，希望各位貝友發揮「好奇故我在」之精神，能在『蠔友通訊』多多發問貝類問題和疑義，發表收藏貝殼之體驗、心得或學習與成長經驗及分享各種新發現之喜悅。上期蠔友通訊一刊出「鳳螺之疑義」即收到鳳螺達人郭秘書長的回應，他在即將出刊的『貝友』發表「鳳螺集錦」一文介紹22種鳳螺，文中述及『貝友』第22期(民國85年6月出版)中，已故的前理事長藍子樵先生曾經寫了一篇「鳳螺的寶庫在台灣」，介紹了17種的不同鳳螺，以及10種鳳螺的照片。相隔了14年後，再由他針對鳳螺提供更新的收集成果與心得，敬請拭目以待。經再網路搜尋得知Babylonia pieroangelai Cossignani, 2008 (圖二) 被WoRMS (World Register of Marine Species)認為是無效名稱，其是Babylonia perforata Sowerby II, 1870 之亞種，被接受之有效名稱為Babylonia perforata pieroangelai Cossignani, 2008。

本期特別感謝賴浩然理事提供之照片。還要謝謝其它會員貝友之踴躍投稿，本期未刊出者，將陸續在下期刊出。

二、7月24日－26日貝類學會99年暑期台東旅遊  順利成行
99年7月24日（星期六）至7月26日(星期一) 由本會資深永久會員姜柷山貝友全程領隊導覽之臺東活動順利成行。臺東活動行程請參閱173期蠔友通訊。

三、6月26日陳端墀教授特別演講報導
99年6月26日(星期六)下午3時至4時30分在女童軍活動中心二樓202室，由本會顧問－中華空間資訊學會理事長陳端墀教授(本會陳威甫理事的父親)演講『遙感探測、旅遊與貝殼蒐集』。陳教授從如何與貝殼產生緣份，講至遙感探測可查閱世界之任何地方，包括可看到自家之屋頂。接者展示至全世界各地開會或旅遊之紀念照片，與大家分享古文明世界、近代文明世界及各種專題之世界，讓大家增廣見聞。精彩之演講與內容，讓大家印象深刻，博得滿堂聽眾的熱烈掌聲。相關之旅遊文章與照片可上「立犀內子」部落格查閱(http://chiuai.net/)。

原定下午4時30分至6時由本學會陳志勇理事教導如何製作貝類DNA的粗萃取樣品，由於報名實作之人數太少，移到下次活動再度辦理。

四、國際貝類會議

六、貝殼拍賣行情
在5月3日、10日、24日截止的Conchology Inc.網站的線上貝殼拍賣會，特刊出其中幾顆稀有或獨特(請看Remarks處的英文說明)之貝殼的資料和價格(末行括號內為得標價以歐元€計)供參考。

1. Corculum cardissa Linnaeus, 1758. FREAK 48.6 mm

Philippines. Oslob. 5 - 8 meters deep. Collected by local fishermen. 2010.

Remarks: This looks like a bird, a great freak in Corculum cardissa. Does not need much comments. Amazing in my humble opinion. Estimation: 20-40 EUR. (€77)

2. Conus canonicus TIGRINUS (G.B. Sowerby II, 1858). 51 mm

Philippines. Jolo Island. Sulu Sea. Circa 1980.

Remarks: An unusual form of the C. canonicus, figured by G. Raybaudi in Poppe, shown as textile var. tigrinus by Tryon (1884). The shell shown by Sowerby was later reshown by Da Motta with other such shaped and bizarre colored shells in La Conchiglia (1982). Ultra rare gold color, virtually no collection has this. Estimation: 150-250 EUR. A "Noble" Conus. (€255)

3. Vexillum leyteensis Poppe, Tagaro & Salisbury, 2009. 26.8 mm

Philippines. South of Cebu. Oslob. Tangle nets, 50-150 m deep. Collected by local fishermen. 2010.

Remarks: First time a specimen goes to the market from this deep water rarity. Dead collected, not yet known from live shells. Described from Leyte island, from where the name comes from, this is the first one from Cebu, also deep. Dream item for lovers of rarity and Costellariidae. Estimation: 40-100 EUR. (€105)

4. Typhinellus occlusus (Garrard, 1963). 32.1 mm

Philippines. Talikud Island near Davao. Tangle nets, 50-150 meters deep. 2010.

Remarks: Cream = 34.9 mm. Banded = 27.4 mm. This species has an irregular supply and often the shells are faked. This is a great set of three different colors: the bicolor type, the cream and the rare black form. All with genuine canal, very long and two of the three shells are big sizes. Breathtaking and the pride of any type of collection. Estimation: 250-350 EUR. (€225)

5. Oliva amethystina Sowerby, 1825. ALBA 17.8 mm

Philippines. Olango Island. 10-25 m deep. Collected by local fishermen. 2010.

Remarks: The very rare ALBINO in O. amethystina, always small. We got 6 in 7 years, this is porcelain white and slightly shouldered. One specimen in auction last year reached 40 EUR, a soft price for this rarity missing in most collections, even advanced ones. Estimation: 30-60 EUR. (€52)

6. Dissona dolabra (Cate, 1974). 13.4 mm

Philippines. Aliguay Island. Tangle nets, 80-180 meters deep. 2010.

Remarks: Another first specimen we could offer in the market: Dissona dolabra from deep water, animal dried in, light orange color. Extremely rare, absent in most collections. Estimation: 100-150 EUR. (€105)

7. Mimachlamys sanguinea (Linnaeus, 1758). SPECIAL COLOR 70 mm

Philippines. Olango Island. Found at 10-25 meters deep water. Collected by local fishermen. 2010.

Remarks: This is a fun specimen with two white "ears" and a purple body. Probably unique. Estimation: 25-50 EUR. (€40)

8. Tibia fusus fusus (Linnaeus, 1758). FREAK 244 mm

Philippines. Bohol. 10-35 m deep. Collected by local fishermen. 2010.

Remarks: Amazing Tibia fusus of good size in which the siphonal canal splits into 3. While we have seen at several occasions siphonal canals splitting into two, we never saw a split into three, so this is a great rarity and curiosity which is possibly unique. Estimation: 75-150 EUR. (€145)

9. Dolomena hickeyi (Willan, 2000). BROWN 43.8 mm

Philippines. Negros. Found at 5-10 meters deep. Collected by local fishermen. 2010.

Remarks: Brown = 45.9 mm. The darkest D. hickeyi we could offer so far. A dream shell in any Strombus collection. Comes with a normal colored specimen as shown in the upper right corner. Virtually absent from collections. Estimation: 40-75 EUR. (€195)

10. Cypraea tigris Linnaeus, 1758. SPECIAL COLOR 75.3 mm

Philippines. Zamboanga. Found at 10-25 meters deep water. Collected by local fishermen on the offshore islands. 2009.

Remarks: White spot = 74 mm. Black spot: 75.3 mm. This is a set one can only imagine in the wildest dreams: two tigers of quite similar coloration, one with a white streak on the side, one with a black streak on the side. One can do several lifetimes before getting this. Estimation: 100-250 EUR. (€75)

11. Conus ebraeus Linnaeus, 1758. 37.3 mm

Philippines. Olango Island. 10 - 25 meters deep. Collected by local fishermen. 2010.

Remarks: Upper Left: 24.1 mm. Right: 27.7 mm. Lower Left: 31.9 mm. Right: 32.1 mm. The five best out of hundreds. Look at the colors and keep on staring. Solid black bands, pinks, axials, spirals and dots. It's all there. Estimation: 40-100 EUR. (€54)

12. Conus dolium PETERGABRIELI Lorenz, 2006. 37.8 mm

Philippines. Palawan. Balabac Island. Collected 20-25 meters deep by fishermen of Olango Island. 2010.

Remarks: The broad shaped PETERGABRIELI is often not so nice. This one is however a materpiece in aesthetics: large, voluminous and chocolate with porcellanous white. This shell is out of competition and leaves the second best ones known far behind. Estimation: 200-350 EUR. (€150)
