N. lineata, didyma, and maculosa are all common, and 

 may be found alive in sandy places at low tides — rufa and 

 Zanzibarica rarely found except during rough weather, when 

 dead specimens get washed up. Among our specimens of 

 lineata is one bearing five to six transverse canaliculations 

 at somewhat irregular distances from each other, and giving 

 a slightly angled appearance to the last whorl.
