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. 



I suspect that MuUer confounded this with the next, 

 under the name of Fisana, 



13. ViRGATA.
