ANIMAL with a very small foot; colour mottled brown, on a pale

The two figures of Mr. Reeve represented the young and adult of 
the same shell, as is fully shown by the specimens collected by the 
Expedition. Nor is this shell identical with T. cancellatum, Lamarck, 
as quoted by Mr. Reeve. It was obtained at Puget Sound, and would 
seem to be common much farther along the coast to the northwest. It 
is quite remarkable for the very long epidermal fringe, even on old 
specimens, which are found five inches in length.
