The color without is drab inolder specimens, in young specimens chestnut banded with revolvingstriae. Length four inches. Found in shallow water. This active pre-daceous animal must be the terror of the mollusks in Florida. With hissharply toothed radula he is able to pierce even the ponderous clam-shell, Vemts mercenaria, variety mortoni, and devour the soft fleshy partswithin. No mollusk, save, perhaps, the vigorous Strombus pugilis, canescape the attack of this highwayman. (Plate LXXV.).
