What is the star system?
The star system calculates the number of pieces that were handled by Conchology, Inc. in the last 21 years:
| 0 – 5 pieces | 6 stars |
|
| 6 – 10 pieces | 5 stars |
|
| 11 - 25 pieces | 4 stars | |
| 26 - 75 pieces | 3 stars | |
| 76 - 150 pieces | 2 stars | |
| > 150 pieces | 1 star | |
We want to point out that the star system is only very reliable for PHILIPPINE shells only, as we handle very few foreign shells in general. As time goes, the system will become more and more performant.
[12° 7' N, -68° 56' W]
Station C11d (H. B. Baker, 1924:17): Near Landhuis Hato (11-O;
L 68° 57.92', 12°10.71') The high northern escarpment of Seroe Spelonk (70.4 meters) is excavated into spaceous caves, with enormous stalactites pendant from their roofs (fig. v-13). At Landhuis Hato, one of the only permanent streams on the islands issues from a cave. The nearly level terrane near the base of these cliffs supports a luxuriant growth of brush, and the densest stands of Cereus that I have ever seen.
The type specimen is identified in the caption to plate 18 [plate 18, fig. F6].
This taxon was proposed as a form of Cerion uva uva.
Baker (1925:42) noted that "mean diameter of specimens from the type locality of Cerion uva diablensis falls outside the total range of variation in individuals of the type locality of Cerion uva hatoensis."
