CONUS. 



i M. Kiener has remarked, but it is the same species 

 towards described by him under the name C. Cecilei. 



. castus, Reeve, Conch. Icon. pi. 47. f. 267. 

 This proves to be a very delicate lemon-yellow variety 

 ' C. daucus, in which species the faint necklaces of minute 

 )ts form a very characteristic feature. 



. Gruneri, Reeve, Conch. Icon. pi. 43. f. 231. 

 I fear this is C. literatus in a very young state. 



. HYAENA, Hwass. Conch. Icon. pi. 24. f. 133, a, c. 

 Having attributed a variety of C.punctattis to this 

 >ecies, the reader is referred to M. Kiener's interpre- 

 ,tion of it (Conch. Icon. Supp. pi. 8. f. 274), as the best 

 ithority. 

 . Moluccensis, Chemnitz ; vide C. Stainforthii. 



. pr^etextus, Reeve. Conch. Icon. Supp. pi. 2. f. 277. 

 M. Kiener's name for this new species, C. encaustus, has 

 riority of mine by a few months. 



. radiatus, Gmelin ; vide C. Mart'mianus. 



C. Solandri, Brod and Sow. Conch. Icon. pi. 4. sp. 16. 

 First described by Gmelin with the name C. coccineus. 



C. Stainforthii, Reeve. Conch. Icon. pi. 1. fig. 1. 



This fine species, as M. Kiener has pointed out, proves 

 to be the C. Moluccensis, Chemnitz, Conch. Cab. vol. xi. 

 p. 63. pi. 183. f. 1780-1. 



C. tiaratus, Broderip, Pro. Zool. Soc. 1833. p. 52. 

 Conus minimus, var., Reeve, Conch. Icon. pi. 26. 

 This species differs little in form and colouring from 

 C. minimus except in being designed in a more bold and 

 striking manner, but as all the specimens collected by 

 Mr. Cuming agree in this particular, I venture to withraw 

 in favour of Mr. Broderip's opinion. 



C. strigatus, Hwass. Conch. Icon. pi. 45. f. 248. 



M. Kiener assigns the C. Australis of Chemnitz to this 

 species ; if it be really so, the name strigatus has priority 

 of the former by three or four years. It was not thus 

 understood by Lamarck, who describes both species inde- 

 pendently. 



Emendations applicable to the Iconographie des coqtjilles vtvantes only. 



. abbreviatus, Nuttall. Kiener, Icon. coq. viv. p. 45. 



M. Kiener remarks under the head of C. minimus, that 

 have figured a very remarkable variety of that species 

 ith the name C. abbreviatus. This interesting species, 

 illected by Mr. Nuttall at one of the Sandwich Islands, is 

 ' stouter growth and painted with isolated brown dots. 



has no indication of the narrow articulated fillets which 

 variably characterize the C. minimus, 



. albimaculatus, Sowerby. Kiener, Icon. coq. viv. 



pi. 83. f. 2. 

 The shell which M. Kiener has taken for the C. albi- 

 aculatus is a dwarf yellowish-fawn variety of C. Mindanus, 

 which Mr. Cuming possesses specimens intermediate 

 itween it and the bright red type of the species. The 

 , albimaculatus has more resemblance with very young 

 lecimens of C. Uthoglyphus. 



. ambiguus, Reeve. Kiener, Icon. coq. viv. p. 130. 



pi. 70. f. 3. 

 I do not know the shell here described and figured ; it 

 not the C. ambiguus, but a very excellent representation 



'that species appears at pi. 03, under the name C.griseus. 



either of the species figured bears any resemblance to the 



. Largilliertii, as remarked by M. Kiener. 



. Brodekipii, Reeve. Kiener, Icon. coq. viv. pi. 71. f. 2. 



This is not the C. Broderipii, nor does it correspond with 

 my figure of that species, of which the specimen in the 

 British Museum is the only one known to me. 51. Kiener's 

 figure represents, to all appearance, an immature specimen 

 of C. Tinianus, or aurora. 



C. Bruguierei, Kiener, Icon. coq. viv. pi. 56. f. 2. 



I have always considered, with Bruguiere, that this is a 

 variety of his C. Jamaicensis, and see no reason to change 

 that opinion. C. Jamaicensis has been regarded as a 

 varietv of C. Mediterraneus ; it is a more swollen stouter 

 shell, but the detail of pattern is the same. 



C. candidus, Kiener, Icon. coq. viv. p. 214. pi. 97. f. 1. 



The shell here described from M. Largilliert's collection, 

 and for the sight of which I am indebted to M. Gubba, is 

 a small discoloured specimen of the C. monilifer. 



C. caeinatds, Swainson. Kiener, Icon. coq. viv. p. 112. 

 M. Kiener presumes my C. nstulatus, Conch. Icon. pi. 

 44. f. 239, to be a variety of this shell. It is perfectly 

 distinct. Mr. Cuming possesses three specimens of 

 different sizes in the finest possible condition, collected by 

 him at the Philippine Islands. 



C. castaneus, Kiener, Icon. coq. viv. p. 209. pi. 104. f. 3. 

 Having minutely examined this shell, in the collection of
