Re: Shells from Mauritius
A.  This appears to be the ubiquitous Polinices mammilla, a taxonomically confusing species.  It is found in many locales, and has quite a few specific names associated with it in various localities.  Further confusion results from the fact that there actually are several other species that resemble it quite closely.

B.  Appears to be Mitra chrysostoma.

C.  Looks like Periglypta chemnitzii
