' his interesting variety of cracherodii was found near a camp 
fire evidently built at the lonely spot by fishermen, as the shells 
appeared to have been brought ashore from rather deep water.

blotches. In my two examples there are six holes in each. 
Since these shells were found, in 1890, I have not found this 
variety.
