D'Orbigny (Moll, de Cuba, loc. cit.) says expressly that this species is found at the Canaries, 

 and in his Moll. rec. aux iles Canaries, par MM. Webb and Berthelot (loc. cit.) he gives it as 

 one of their shells, adding that it is " assez rare." The shell sent by Mr Webb from the Canaries, 

 and marked as this species by the Eev. R. T. Lowe (from whom d'Orbigny accepted several of the 

 names of Canarian species) came into my possession on Mr Lowe's death, and proved on examination 

 to be Cassis sulcosa, Born. But d'Orbigny's own (Canarian) specimen in the British Museum, which 

 Mr Edgar Smith kindly examined for me, is really this species. M' Andrew, in his Geog. Distrib. of 

 N. Atlantic Moll., mentions his having dredged fragments of Dolium perdix at the Canaries from 

 to 60 fathoms, but in his own list in the Cambridge Museum he has corrected this name to 

 Dolium galea.
