Over 100 very fine live shells, which I have separated into no less 

 than 15 well-marked color varieties. They vary from very light 

 cream-color, body sparsely blotched with brownish-black spots, to 

 others which are deeply mottled like tortoise shell. 



There are also a number of immature shells of various sizes. 

 These specimens are incomparably finer in polish and lustre than 

 specimens of tliis species usually imported in bulk, and which are 

 much scratched and without lustre. 



Native name, Hibi-bora ; Japanese name, Neko-gai (or cat shell).
