CONUS.— Plate XII. 



et irregulariter variegatd, punctis medio et inferrie 

 fasciatd. 

 The Morning Cone. Shell rather cylindrically turbi- 

 nated, thin, ventricose, smooth ; spire convex, 

 rose-colour, sparingly and irregularly variegated 

 with ashy white dots, palely shaded with faint 

 brown, and encircled round the middle and base 

 with a narrow band of the same spots.

 Sowerby, Conch. Illus. Conus f. 7. 



Conus rosaceus ? Chemnitz. 

 Hab. Cape Natal, Southern Africa; Dr. Kranz. 



Chemnitz's figure of this species, quoted by Lamarck, 

 is evidently copied from a worn specimen ; it is a light 

 ventricose shell, and cannot well be confounded with any 

 other.
