432 conus. 



Shell about two inches long, and not quite half so broad ; it 

 differs from all other Cones in being more ventricose on one 

 side than on the other, and Bruguiere says it bears on this 

 account some resemblance to a young Strombus. 



ventricosus. 154. Shell conical, sub-ventricose, 

 chestnut-coloured, with two white zones, of 

 which the upper is extended along the su- 

 tures ; spire conical, acute.

 Inhabits the African Ocean. Bruguiere. Mediterranean. La-

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

 broad ; it bears some resemblance to C. Coffeaz, from which 

 however it may be at once distinguished by its greater size, 

 and wider aperture. Lamarck says that the shells of this 

 species, which have been found in the Mediterranean, are 

 very small. 



bullatus. 155. Shell oblong, ventricose, speckled 

 with white and orange; spire depressed; 

 aperture effuse, and the inside reddish yel- 

 low.
