Our specimens vary much in form and in coloring. Some are 

 almost flat, but the cup is as deep in such as in the more coni- 

 cal shells: such specimens grow on a concave surface. One 

 ehell, instead of having a subcircular outline, has the outline of 

 H very eccentric ellipse. The color of some is nearly white ; of 

 others, a deep brown; many are spotted and striped in the 

 manner described by Mr. Broderip.
