Neither can I get nor read the JSTOR document that contained this text.

Part of the problem is use of one name.  Plants and other 'family'

This ?
(I really like this site as well - this is not the main portal - )
http://bigai.world.coocan.jp/pic_book/data28/r002743.html    Tellina
tenus Da Costa, 1778

Or this :

http://www.marlin.ac.uk/species/Gibbulaumbilicalis.htm    Flat top shell
- /Gibbula umbilicalis/


Perhaps these help.
