CONUS.— Plate XXI. 



As far as I am enabled to judge by figures and descrip- 

 tions, this shell does not appear to have been known hi- 

 therto in fine condition. The splendid specimens now 

 before me, from the collection of the Rev. Mr. Stainforth, 

 approach in form though not in size to the C. episcopus : 

 the most striking peculiarity of the species is in the de- 

 licate manner in which the white heart-shaped spots are 

 tinged on one side with grey or flesh-colour.

The spire of this shell is sometimes indistinctly tes- 

 sellated with the same faint yellowish-brown which 

 adorns the body of it.
