Nacella (Patinigera) concinna

“…until lately the ice-cap over the rocks and the floating ice seem to have kept the luscious molluscs to a depth of 6ft or more below water, but now they are creeping up the rocks and we have found a few. Limpets are ‘perks’; everyone eats all he can find.”

— Thomas Orde-Lees
