mens of this species seen by him were antiquated in appearance. 
Probably they were fossil. I have seen no recent specimens from 
Bermuda, except in the collection of Miss Peniston, who had several 
fine ones in 1898, but not collected personally.*

* The late Miss Mary Peniston had a very valuable local collection of shells 
which she had obtained during many years. In 1898, I made a brief examina- 
tion of her shells, intending to made a careful study of them a few days later, 
but was prevented from doing so by a severe illness. She died before my visit 
in 1901, and her shells were unfortunately not accessible then. She did not 
label her shells to any great extent, depending upon her memory as to the time 
and place of capture, etc. She had a considerable number of exotic shells, 
given to her by others as collected in Bermuda, which she personally considered 
doubtful. Among such, as noted by me at the time of my visit, were Cyprea 
tigris, C. asellus, Voluta musica, Murex brassica, ete. Such shells she kept on 
a separate shelf, but in the same case with the true Bermuda shells. Whether 
the Strombus accipitrinus was among those that she thought doubtful, my notes 
do not show. It was recorded by Krebs from Bermuda, 1864, as collected by 
Redfield.
