This species, which is rather local, covers the sandy plains 
near Tenby in vast profusion, probably affording nourish- 
. ment to a great number of small birds of the Finch tribe, 
as I have frequently observed the dead shells collected 
in heaps, with the apex broken and the animal picked 
out. 'The beautiful pink gloss observable on the mouths 
of this and the following species, is entirely owing to the 
action of, and their exposure to, the sun. In the specimens 
found in more sheltered situations, the colours and mark- 
ings are much fainter, and sometimes altogether wanting. 
— l suspect that Müller confounded this with the next, 
under the 1 name * Pisana. -AN
