Habitat. Florida, in 100-200 fms. Deep water off Newport, R. I., and in 

 50-200 fms., off shore, along the eastern coast of the United States. 



The southern and West Indian form of the species is paler and more deli- 

 cate in its colors, less elevated in form, and has the slopes from apex to the 

 basal margins slightly concave. In the northern variety they are not concave, 

 the shell is every way darker and duller in color, ruder, coarser, and less 

 attractive. For the southern variety, the prior but undescribed name used 

 by me in the first published reference to the species may perhaps be utilized 

 with advantage.
