Inhabits the Mediterranean. Seba? Coasts of the Moluccas 



and Isle of France. Favanne. China. Humphreys. 

 Shell rather more than an inch and a half long, and about 

 eight lines broad, white, clouded longitudinally with blue 

 and brown, or olive irregular broad undulated stripes. Mar- 

 tini, Schroeter, Gmelin, and Schreibers have entirely mis- 

 taken C. Monachus, and under this name have blended to- 

 gether C. punctulatus and C. verrucosus, which are two per- 

 fectly diffeient species. 



ranunculus. 56. Shell conical-oval, white, clouded 

 with red and yellow or olive, and marked 

 with elevated dotted strise ; spire rather ob- 

 tuse, and the whirls striated.

 Inhabits the American Ocean. Bruguiere. 

 Shell nearly an inch and three-quarters long, and half as broad, 



and its form is more oval and ventricose than C. Monachus, 



from which it may also be distinguished by its elevated 



dotted stria;. 



anemone. 57. Shell conical-ovate, white, grey, or 

 cinnamon colour, spotted, and finely striated 

 transversely ; spire obtuse and striated. 



Conus Anemone. Lamarck in Ann. du Mus. xv. p. 272. 

 Variety A. With brown or chestnut spots in waves. 

 Variety B. Variegated with irregular longitudinal brown 



stripes. 

 Variety C. Yellow waved with chestnut. 

 Inhabits the coasts of New Holland. Lamarck. 

 Lamarck says this shell is nearly allied to C. Ranunculus, but 



differs in colour, in the transverse elevated striae not being 



dotted, and in the spire, which has numerous striae following 



the course of the whirls.
