irregulariter conspersis, lineis capillaribus confertis, undique 

 cinctd; spird convexd, aurantio-fusco maculatd. 



Conch. Icon., Conus, pi. 47. f. 262. 



Hab. ? 



This species may be recognized by the fine hair lines with which 

 its entire surface is ornamented. 



Conus attenuatus. Con. testd gracile turbinatd, basim versus 

 attenuatd, Icevi ; luted vel aurantio-fuscescente, strigis albidis per- 

 paucis latis undatis longitudinaliter ornatd; spird depressd, acut- 

 anguld, aurantio-fuscescente alboque tessellatd, apice acutissimo, 

 elato. 



Conch. Icon., Corns, pi. 47. f. 263. 



Hab. ? 



The long, slender, sugar-loaf form of this shell is rather peculiar, 

 and it exhibits a style of painting which I do not remember to have 

 observed in varieties of any other species. 



Conus buxeus. Con. testd ehng at o -turbinatd, subcylindraced, Icevi, 

 basim versus subtiliter liratd; luteo-fuscescente, flis fusco-punc- 

 tatis numerosis, confertis, cinctd; spird elatd, anfractuum margi- 

 nibus subtilissime nodulosis, apice mucronato. 



Conch. Icon., Conus, pi. 47. f. 265. 



Hab. ? 



The Conus buxeus is very closely allied to the Conus lignarius ; it 

 differs chiefly in being of a more elongated or fusiform shape, whilst 

 the spire is distinctly beaded and not canaliculated. 



Conus nitidus. Con. testd turbinatd, Icevi, nitidd, prope basim 

 subtilissime liratd; aurantio-fuscescente, superne et mediane exiliter 

 albimaculatd, lineis fuscis interruptis subdistantibus undique cinctd; 

 spird subelatd, spiraliter striatd, apice pallide rosaceo. 



Conch. Icon., Conus, pi. 47. f. 266. 



Hab. ? 



The lines which encircle the entire surface of this delicate little 

 Cone are more particularly interrupted in passing over the faint spots 

 round the middle and upper part of the shell. The pink apex is very 

 characteristic. 



Conus castus. Con. testd turbinatd, subinflatd, Icevi ; luted, lineis 

 perpaucis exilibus, subtilissime nigricante-punctatis , irregulariter 

 distantibus, cinctd; spird Icevi, apice rosaceo. 



Conch. Icon., Conus, pi. 47. f. 267. 



Hab. ? 



This is another very chaste and characteristic species, allied to the 

 Conus daucus. 



Conus liratus. Con. testd subabbreviato-turbinatd, liris subpro- 

 minulis undique circumdatd ; albidd, maculis paucis aurantio -fuscis 

 longitudinaliter confluentibus biseriatim cinctd ; spird exsertd, no- 

 duliferd, apice pallide rosaceo ; bast et apertures fauce vivide vio- 

 laceo-rosed.
