Description: | Fiji From May 2007, on show in 'Hunter the Collector' display in the Entrance Hall at the Hunterian Museum.
Captain Laskey's 1813 catalogue of The Hunterian Museum remarks that these shells probably came from Fiji, and that Captain Cook noticed how the natives valued them highly, especially as personal ornament. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | MOLLGASTROPROSO : CAENOGASTROPODA : CYPRAEOIDEA : CYPRAEIDAE : EH_HUNTER_ZOOLOGY : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
