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.

Dall 1905b:36 mentions a manuscript name Strophia alta that was associated with this taxon in the USNM collections.
Fossil with C. eleutherae var., above "Glass Window,"
The fossil specimens agree closely with a specimen from Rum Cay, named for the U. S. National Museum by Mr. Maynard. It recalls C. grayi Maynard in its sculpture, but is smaller and more fusiform.
Clench (1934:209) believed Dall (1905:41) to be in error in citing C. maynardi as occurring on Rum Cay. He believed that an extreme form of C. lentiginosum was very probably identified as this species.
Clench (1934:209) reports this species from Cedar Point; 2 mi. SE of Cedar Point;
