Super Shells

A recent visitor to Gisborne was Mr E. J. Booth, of Kati Kati, one of the country's leading conchologists. (That's somebody who makes a hobby of collecting shells, of the variety usually found on the beach).

Mr Booth had with him a remarkable collection of shells of all kinds, some of which are shown on this page.
