Very commonly found on the shoals there are several ovules. these are about 1/12th in diameter, rounded, conical, with broader base, semi-transparent, on the summit is a circular lid, which falls. The situation of the ovules or eggs on the shell must be almost necessary, as the animal inhabits extensive sand banks, where there is no hard substance to fix them on. Bahia Blanca. Sept 417.

The egg varies in colour from a pale straw yellow to white.
