A short article concerning this subject has been published by:
Coomans, H.E., 1973. Conidae with smooth and granulated shells. Malacologia,
14: 321-325.
I can't remember whether he mentioned also an explanation of smooth and
granulated shells of the same species.
Best wishes for 2006 to all of you.
