The shell figured by Dance and incorrectly attributed to Lamarck is
Columbella terpsichore G.B. Sowerby I, 1822, and now placed by some in the
genus Mitrella but I have no opinion about that.

> To those people who worked on my unknown small shell.  Dan Teven found it
in Dance's "Collector's Encyclopedia of Shells.  It is "Pyrene (or latest
assignment Anachis) terpsichore"  The author is given as Lamarck, but URL's
give the author as (Sowerby, 1822).  I dug out my copy of the book and sure
enough, there it is, on page 152/153.
