Deshayes species has much the aspect of P. ecUTiata with the spines 

 worn off, and in view of the wide distribution of the latter, if not a 

 distinct species, is more likely to belong to the echinata than to the 

 closely allied monstruosa, which appears to be confined to the west 

 coast of France and Spain and the Mediterranean. Not having seen 

 a specimen of Deshayes' shell, only a tentative opinion can be ex- 

 pressed as to its relations.
