Otho Miiller (Verm. Ter. et. Fluv. pt. 2, p. 157), 
indicated this shell as the Coromandel form of corneus; 
hence probably the manuscript name of P. Coroman- 
delianus (Ivuster, as of O. Fabricius). Chemnitz 
figured it (Conch. Cab. vol. 9, pi. 127, f. 116, 117), as 
the Indian variety of the same species, to which it was 
referred with doubt, also, by Hutton (J. Asi. Soc. vol. 
3). A figure of it appeared in the Gleanings of Science 
(vol. 1, pi. 8, f. 6).
