1. Murex salleanus, A. Ads. Gulf of 

 Mexico. This fine white shell is usually 

 classified as a variety of rufus, Lam., also 

 found in the Gulf. They gradually merge 

 together. I have called this the Pink-tip 

 Lace Murex. 1V2" 50c 2Vz" 1.00 



9. Crepidula glauca, Say. Canada to 

 Texas. The shell is white with brownish 

 marks which are usually covered with a 

 thin periostracum, but the markings show 

 through the shell. Very common over a 

 wide range. IW 3 for 25c 



2. Distorsio clathrata. Lam. Florida 

 Keys. There are only about 8 species in 

 the genus ranging from Florida to Hong 

 Kong. This species is white with the 

 peculiar aperture shown in cut. 



2V4" 1.50 



3. Leucozonia cingulifera. Lam. Flor- 

 ida Keys. A shell that has numerous 

 knobs in regular rows and of a reddish- 

 brown color. IVfe" 50c 



4. Melongena corona belknapi. Petit. 

 Venice, Florida. A rather attractive small 

 form of this very common shell. There 

 are about eight forms of this shell that 

 have been named from Florida Keys to 

 Brownsville, Texas. IVfe" 50c 



5. Strombus bituberculatus, L. Kid 



Conch. Jupiter Inlet. Florida to West 

 Indies. Ranges from whitish to pink in 

 color, with broad thick lip. 2 to 3" 50c 



6. Buccinum undatum, L. North At- 

 lantic and circumboreal. There are many 

 forms of this Common Whelk depending 

 on the depth of water. Has been found in 

 New Jersey, but very common in far 

 North. The illustration is of a very thin 

 specimen dredged from deep water. 



2 to 3" 50c 



7. Cantharus tinctus. Con. N. C. to 

 Florida. This shell has often been labeled 

 as Trintonidea but it is a true Cantharus, 

 as can readily be seen when you place it 

 with the more than 100 other forms from 

 all over the world. The entire genus are 

 attractive shells. This form is light 

 brownish and finely ridged. 25c 



8. Sinum perspectivum. Say. N. J. to 

 Florida. A thin, pure white shell. There 

 are three species on East Coast and about 

 60 throughout the world. While the shell 

 is only 1V", the mollusk to which it is 

 attached I have seen stretch out to 6" or 

 more and about as wide. They love to 

 burrow in the shallow sand of the sea and 

 are easily collected when you learn how 

 to find them. 11/2" 25c 



10. Triton aquatalis, Rve. Florida Keys. 

 An attractive brownish shell with ridges 

 and white bands. 2" 1.00

 perpendicular ridges, and bands of white 

 and brown. A pure white race was found 

 some time ago. IVz" 25c 



12. Strombus pugilis. Young. Gulf of 

 Mexico. Collectors often find this shell 

 and seldom know what they have, so I 

 illustrate it. The lip is always thin show- 

 ing it is immature. 2" 25c 



13. Phos candei. Orb. N. C. to Florida, 

 down to 180 fathoms. A finely ridged 

 white shell with faint traces of orange.
