Hab. Island of Mauritius. 



Having already spoken of this species in treating of 

 the Conus verriculum, it will only be necessary to observe 

 that it differs from the Conus textile in being of a more 

 oblong angular shape, resembling, says Lamarck, the 

 form of the Conus ammiralis, and the orange blotches 



may be said to differ in being crossed both transverselj 

 and longitudinally with brown lines.
