The Borneo Cone. Shell fusiform, attenuated in the 

 middle, spire sharply elevated, whorls concave and 

 angulated round the upper part, transversely linearly 

 Grooved beneath, grooves more or less obsolete with 

 age, arcuately striated with lines of growth ; white, 

 blotched here and there with red-brown.

Hal/. North-east coast of Borneo (in ten fathoms, sandy 

 and strong bottom) ; Belcher. 

 Very closely allied to the C. arcuatus, but of a lighter 



and more attenuated growth.

Conus papillaris. Con. testa fusformi-oblongd, spird 

 elevalo-turrild, apice papillaris anfractibus superne 

 acute concavo-angulatis, peculiariter tenuicoronatis, 

 nodulis subobliquis, infra lavibus ; albidd, aurantio- 

 ferrugineo longitudinaliter strigato-nebulatd. 



The papillary Cone. Shell fusiformly oblong, spire 

 elevately turreted, apex papillary, whorls sharply 

 concavely angulated round the upper part, peculiarly 

 finely coronated, nodules somewhat oblique, smooth 

 beneath ; whitish, longitudinally streaked in a clouded 

 manner with orange-rust. 



Hab. ? 



A very characteristic species collected by Sir Edward 

 Belcher during the voyage of the Sulphur, of which the 

 locality was not preserved. The apex is papillary, and 

 the whorls are sharply obliquely coronated, the interstices 

 between the nodules being coloured with the same pecu- 

 liar orange-rust with which the lateral surface of the shell 

 is painted.

Conus Vautieri. Con. testa subobeso-turbinatd, solidd,

Vautier's Cone. Shell rather stoutly turbinated, solid, 

 smooth, grooved at the base, grooves rather distant, 

 spire flatly depressed, strongly coronated, striated 

 and grooved, the ridges being minutely crenulated ; 

 white, tinged with rose-brown spots, opake-white at 

 the side, here and there aggregated together.

Hab. ? 



I find nothing in this species to distinguish it frori 

 C.pulicar'ms except colour, yet it seems distinct and pre 

 sents uo intermediate variety.

Conus ochraceus. Con. testa subangidato-conicd, lavi

The ochre Cone. Shell somewhat angularly conii 

 smooth, rather irregularly grooved at the base, spir 

 a little flattened, raised at the apex, channelled 

 white, ornamented with two very broad brownis 

 ochre bands, the intervals being marked with oblong 

 square spots and dots of the same colour.

Hab. West Indies. 



This species which, in the absence of any specimen, 



thought to be a discoloured C. Proteus, appears to b 



distinct. 



Species 245. (Mus. Cuming.) 

 Conus floridulus. Con. testa oblongo-turbinatd, solidiut

 The blooming Cone. Shell oblong-turbinated, ratht 

 solid, somewhat swollen at the base, with a fe' 

 rather distant ridges, spire striated, obsoletely oil 

 liquely coronated, apex sharp ; violet-white, bright! 

 tinged at the base with rose-violet, in the centre : 

 an unspotted band, stained and dotted above an 

 below with orange-brown, apex pale red.

 f. 9. 



Hab. ? 



A shell of rather solid growth, collected by Sir Edwar 

 Belcher, during the voyage of the Sulphur, very decpl 

 stained with violet at the base, and delicately suffuse 

 with that colour throughout ; and a pale band is forme 

 in the middle by the interruption of numerous orange 

 brown dots, which are seen above and below it. Th 

 spire is very indistinctly undulately noduled, and faintl 

 spotted with orange-brown which grows reddish toward 

 the apex.
