base purple-black ; surface faintly decussately striated, lower half 
with small spiral ridges; spire depressed, its profile very slightly 
convex ; aperture narrow and straight, interior white, tinged with 
orange on the edge, and two large deep-purple spots within ; epi- 
dermis thick, opake, velvety, dusky or fulvous brown. 
6. Conus FUSIFORMIS, Pease. 
Shell small, fusiform, attenuated at both ends, closely and regu- 
larly grooved spirally, and reticulated by fine irregular longitudina. 
striz ; spire acuminate, sharp; whorls encircled by two granulose 
ridges, sutures marginated ; aperture narrow, rather more than half 
the length of the shell; colour dark chocolate-brown, with a row of 
irregular white spots on upper edge, margin of the sutures light 
yellowish-brown. ~ 
7. FossAR MULTICOSTATUS, Pease. 
Shell small, thin, globose, of a chalky-white colour, spire small, 
acute, consisting of three or four moderately convex whorls separated 
by a linear impressed suture; surface ornamented with a nearly 
uniform series of small, rdther sharp spiral ridges, and the interstices 
decussately striated with fine raised lines, of which the spiral are 
most developed, periphery of the last whorl rounded and narrowly 
umbilicated ; columella slightly oblique, scarcely arched, covered with 
a thin callous deposit and slightly sinuous at the base ; aperture large, 
subcircular, lip thin, crenulated by the external spiral ridges. 
8. TuRRIS MONILIFERA, Pease. 
Shell fusiform, turreted, light brown; whorls numerous, encircled 
with a row of semitransparent slightly oblong tubercles, disposed in 
a somewhat imbricated manner, with a prominent keel between and 
a lighter one just below the rows of tubercles, interstices concave, 
ornamented with raised striew, and crossed by oblique lines, last 
whorl encircled by raised strize, which are most prominent on upper 
part ; aperture ovate ; canal rather long, slightly recurved. 
9. STROMBUS CANCELLATUS, Pease. 
Shell solid, abbreviate, somewhat fusiformly ovate; spire short, 
acute ; whorls seven or eight, subangulated above, latticed with lon- 
gitudinal ribs (or ridges) and spiral lines, margined next the sutures, 
about three varices to each whorl ; sutures well impressed, last whorl 
irregularly verrucose on the back at the upper part, and latticed 
like the spire; outer lip thin, slightly thickened behind ; columella 
strongly callused and closely wrinkled throughout ; aperture narrow, 
contracted, lyrate and granulose within. 
All the specimens found of this species have had the outer lip 
fractured and repaired. The nearest allied species is 8S. hemastoma 
(Sow.).
