They prefer pure white shells for this purpose, and cause the 

 colored markings to disappear by application of heat. 0. 

 Caldcmia is treated in this way by the natives of New Guinea. 

 They might readily be mistaken for a distinct species. The plan 

 adopted is to place the shells on good clear red-hot ashes which 

 discharges the colouring, leaving them entirely white. The smaller 

 the shells the better they stand the heat, and do not crack on the 

 surface like the larger species.
