This species inhabits the Atlantic coast from Georgia to Massachusetts. 
Reeve, when he published his monograph. of Pyrula, in. 1847, was unacquainted 
with the habitat of this common and long known shell. There is a distinct 
variety of this species on the southern coast, with much shorter and thinner 
spines, and it is also longer and thinner than the typical form.

FF. CANDELABRUM. (Pyrula, Lam.) 
Kiener, pl. 8, fig. 2 
Kiener and Reeve suggest that this shell is a variety of Fuleur perversum. It 
does not appear that more than one specimen has been discovered. 
F. aizsosum. Pyriform, ventricose, thick, armed with broad prominent 
foliated thick spines; shoulder carinated; spire short, the four upper whorls 
tuberculated on the upper margin of the suture; columella sinuous ; middle of 
the beak profoundly tumid, on which elevation are robust alternated wrinkled 
strie; labrum channelled below, corresponding to the external hump; margin of 
labrum very sinuous towards the base, the interior with slightly raised lines, 
and of a yellowish orange color; color waite, with long purplish lines and a 
broad indistinct revolving white band on the body whorl. 
Pyrula perversa, var. Kiener, pl. 9, fig.-2. 
The revolving lines are obsolete on the upper part of the body whorl, and 
there are revolving wrinkled slightly raised lines on the spire. 
A specimen of this species is in the collection of the Academy, and Kiener’s 
figure has a close resemblance to it. It is not known to inhabit the coast of the 
United States, and is probably from Campeachy Bay.a, 
This shell is not a variety of F. perversum, as Kiener supposes, but if not a 
distinct species, must be a sinistral variety of F. caricw. That shell, however, 
is common on the coast of the United States, but a sinistral ‘speciinen is there 
ainknown.
