I just sent Bill a photo of the C. floridanus burryae I have.  I don't
think you have the same shell.  Part of my reasoning is that the
floridanus group are mainly Carolinian province cones.

Another Carolinian cone which was been reported in the West Indies is C.
amphirgus.  I  have seen a few cones from these West Indies which look
similar to C. daucus and C. daucus is a Caribbean province shell.

What do you think Bill?
