Excerpt from The Nautilus, Vol. 53: A Quarterly Journal Devoted to the Interests of Conchologists, July, 1939 to April, 1940This is a common species from the Lake Worth region to the Keys and in the West Indies, living on gorgonians from about four or five feet to the lower limit of the gorgonians they inhabit.The special character of the shell is that the callus of the sides extends up high on the back, and thins out at the edge, so that its limit is scarcely visible except by the color, the callus being from cream buff to apricot buff, pinkish vinaceous or orange vinaceous in color, the uncovered middle of the back from pure white to cream bufi'. The interior varies from pure white to pink, nearly uniform or with white clouds in the middle and towards the ends.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
