This variety was catalogued in Sowerby's ' Marine shells 

 of South Africa,' i^ppendix, p. 11, as D. timbriatum without 

 any observation with regard to its differing from the typical 

 form. It is much smaller, has a distinct varix outside the 

 labrum, and shows scarcely any trace of the spotting upon 

 the spiral ridges which is so characteristic of the normal 

 form.
