Higher correlation, less stocks. What?

From p.393 of Vol6.

If the correlation among stocks were 0.1, the investor would need 90 stocks in the portfolio to obtain 110% of the minimum possible portfolio variance. If correlation amonng stocks were 0.5, the investor would only need 10 stocks.

I don't get the logic of needing less stocks if they're highly correlated. Shouldn't we be taking more to reduce the effect of high correlation?
