 Hab. — Coast generally, commonest in Western Port. 

 Obs. — This pretty little species has a very wide distribution 

 round Australia and on the north coast of Tasmania. Specimens 

 from our shores attain to a length of 18 mm. by a breadth of 

 11 mm., and show a considerable variation in colour, from violet 

 through shades of brown to salmon or pinkish ; also in the spire 

 we find flat or tabulate forms, occasionally it is much elevated 

 and coronate. 



Conus segravei, Gatlifi". 



1890. Conus segravei, Gatliff. V.N., vol. vii., p. 179 

 (with a plate of two figures). 



Hab. — Beach near Shoreham, Western Port (Gatlifi"). 



Obs. — Figure lla, plate 3, in Reeve's Conchologia Iconica of 

 C. ammiralis, Lin., much resembles our shell, but the former is a 

 small and granulated variety with a slightly coronated spire. 

 Our species may be readily distinguished from it, and also from 

 0. anemone. Lam.., by the smoothness of the body whorl. Since 

 the shell was described some more specimens have been obtained 

 by one of us at the locality named. The type of this species is 

 in Mr. Gatliff''s private collection.
