Excerpt from Conchologia Iconica, or Illustrations of the Shells of Molluscous Animals, Vol. 9: Containing Monographs of the Genera, Spondylus, Neritina, Natica, Navicella, Siphonaria, Nerita, LatiaThis fine species is distinguished in all its stages of growth by three widely separated fi-ne squamate ridges radiating from the umbo, of a darker red tint than the sur rounding colour of the shell. It is of very irregular growth, sometimes depositing a series of basal lamium in the lower valve one over the other, and hermetically closing water in the chambers, in which state, often of great size, it is known to collectors by the name of the Water Spondylus.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
