426 conus. 



the breadth is three-fifths of the length ; all the varieties are 

 very slightly grooved transversely, particularly towards the 

 base, and two or three of the lower whirls of the spire are 

 slightly concave. 



abbas. 142. Shell ovate-oblong, orange, striped 

 with brown, and marked with a few white 

 spots, and three or four finely reticulated 

 transverse bands ; spire acute.

 Inhabits the coasts of the Isle of France. Chemnitz. 

 Shell about two inches long, and nearly half as broad ; it differs 

 in form from C. Textile by being more conical, and has the 

 spire faintly marked with cancellated stria?. C. Legatus of 

 Lamarck is narrower, but probably nothing more than a va- 

 riety. 



ARCHiEPiscoPUS. 143. Shell ovate-conical, ventri- 

 cose, yellowish, with cancellated brown lines, 

 and four bands of blue violet and white reti- 

 culations ; spire acuminated.

Inhabits the East Indian Seas. Bruguiere. 



Shell about three inches long, and rather more than half as 

 broad ; with cancellated longitudinal and transverse lines, in- 

 tersected by four transverse bands of variegated net-work. 

 ' Le Drap d'or violet' of Favanne, which Bruguiere has 

 quoted for this species, is probably a variety of C. Textile, 

 and Lamarck considers it to be his C. Panniculus.
