 While walking in the [[Cayman Islands]] during a biological expedition in 1926, glum Scottish naturalist [[A. J. N. Calder]] discovered an animal very ''like'' the [[ellellcie]] in a forest not far from [[George Town]], [[Grand Cayman]]. This creature (which, for reasons best known to himself, he originally dubbed the “[[shelfco]]”) turned out to be a an [[espievie]] - a rather remarkable adaptation of the [[ellellcie]] native to the islands of the [[British West Indies]].
