Shells

Much of Kenji's individual shell collection was donated by his family to the Bishop Museum.  Some have been catalogued and entered into the PILSBRy Pacific Island Land SnailBiodiversity Repository (of which the Bishop Museum is a contributor). You can search for Kenji's shells by entering "Yokoyama" in the search field. 

Here's a direct link to search for Yokoyama in their database (it will take a few minutes to return results):  http://pilsbry.org/collections/list.php?searchstring=yokoyama&reset=0&alldatasearch=1&usethes=1&taxontype=2&db=allspec
