“*Shell depressed, solid, cream color, sometimes with a ferruginous or livid

Dall (1903d) reports this species from the Farallon Islands from 
a depth of 37 fathoms. Determinable specimens of this form were 
obtained by the Survey only from the open ocean. It was dredged at 
depths ranging from 3 to 68 fathoms on bottoms comprised of fine
