In the collection of the Smithsonian Institute there are 

 specimens of this shell which are furnished with a delicate 

 greenish-yellow epidermis. As this has never been noticed 

 in descriptions, I believe it must exist only on very fresh 

 specimens, which are rarely seen. On being immersed 

 some minutes in water, the epidermis becomes of a bright 

 golden color. 



The figure is a fac simile of that of Deshayes.
