I give Sowerby's reference here as found in his Thesaurus, without which I fear no one would 

 recognise his figure. Tryon seems simply to have copied it. If it was on the strength of this figure 

 he felt himself emboldened to unite Mitra cyri, Dohrn, to Mitra boissaci, Montrouz., and so to Mitra 

 fulc/ctrum, Sow., the only wonder which remains is why he stopped there. Montrouzier's figure of 

 Mitra boissaci (Journ. de conch., vol. viii. p. 118, pi. ii. fig. 6) is perhaps as remote from the descrip- 

 tion as it could well be. Tryon has amended its colours, but, under the guidance of Sowerby, rather 

 deteriorated its form.
