Mr. Stokes’ Observations on Volvor Glohator. 451 
CoNnUS CYLINDRACEUS.* 
[Tas. Supp. xu. f. 5.] 
C. testa cylindraceo-fusiformi, levigatd, transversim leviter striatd, 
striis inferioribus fortioribus, granulosis ; spird rotundato-pyra- 
midatd, mucronatd ; colore pallidé fulvo, albo vario. 
Habitat ? 
A single specimen of this curious Cone has come to our hands ; it was 
brought by the Blossom. In its outline it approaches nearest to C. mi- 
tratus of Lam., and bears a great resemblance toa Terebellum. It 
is of a pale fulvous colour, having two transverse rows of very irregular 
white blotches, and several distant and irregular longitudinal white 
stripes.

Arr. XII. Observations upon Volvox Globator. Communi- 
cated by W. J. Broveriv, Esq, F.R.S., &c., Sec. G.S. 
I have received from Mr. Stokes the following remarks upon Volvox 
Globator, which will, I think, be interesting to Naturalists. 
On the 10th of August, 1828, while observing some aquatic 
animalcules under a microscope, his attention was particularly attracted 
by a specimen of Volyox Globator of larger size than usual, and remark- 
able’ as containing four distinct green globules within it. These, on 
examination, appeared to be young ones, perfectly formed and quite in 
contact with each other. 
* In reference toa shell, named by us Conus interruptus, in the 4th volume 
of this Journal, page 379, we have to observe, that soon after the publi- 
cation of that number we found a very different shel! figured under the same 
name, but without any description, in the Supplement to Mr, Wood’s Index 
Testaceologicus. Upon examining an individual furnished by Mrs. Mawe 
(from whose cabinet the shell figured by Mr. Wood is said to have been taken) 
we have no hesitation in stating our opinion that it is only a variety of Conus 
nebulosus of Solander and Lamarck, Our Conus interruptus may, therefore, 
as it appears to us, retain its name.
