404 conus. 



Inhabits the East Indian Seas. Bruguiere. 



Shell not quite an inch long, and nearly two thirds as broad, 



and has the base marked with five or six transverse grooves ; 



there are sometimes two faint transverse bands, of which the 



upper is fawn-coloured, and the lower white, and in some 



specimens the latter only is observable. 



barbadensis. 92. Shell conical, slightly grooved 

 transversely, and granulated at the base, red- 

 dish, with two white bands; spire obtuse and 

 coronated.

Inhabits the coasts of Barbadoes, Guadaloupe, and St. Do- 

 mingo. Bruguiere. 



Bruguiere has described this shell to be thirteen lines long and 

 eight broad, and says it may be at once distinguished from 

 C. Mus by the spire, which is more obtuse, and by the dif- 

 ference in its transverse striae. Most authors have followed 

 Martini in confounding it with C. coronatus, from which it 

 may be at once distinguished by its granulated striae. 



roseus. 93. Shell conical, transversely grooved, 

 and of a rose colour, with one white band ; 

 spire obtuse and coronated.

Inhabits the Antilles. Lamarck. 



Bruguiere appears to have confounded this species with C. 

 Barbadensis, from which, Lamarck says, it differs in being 

 transversely grooved, in not having the transverse lines dotted, 

 in having only one white band, in the base not being granu- 

 lated, and in having the base of its pillar spotted with pur- 

 ple brown. 



coccineus. 94. Shell conical, transversely striated, 

 and granulated, scarlet, with a white mottled 

 band; spire convex and coronated.
