remarkable for size. Fig. 4 is inserted to give an idez 
of the crenulations between the strie. 
CONUS conemnus— TAB. CCCII.— Fig. 2. 
Spec. Car. Fusiform, angular in the middle, 
sp¥e ornamented with knobs and granulated 
striz ; base produced, sulcated. 
Tats elegant Cone is nearly three times as long as 
broad, the spire occupying little more than one third of 
the length; both ends are pointed ; the sulci upon the 
base are deepest towards the point. 
Krom Highgate Hill, and Barton ; not very common. 
TAB. CCCI.—Fig. 1. 
As it is not likely we shall again have so good an 
opportunity of searching the clay of Highgate Hill, as 
was afforded by cutting the road through it in 1811, 
I have thought it adviseable to figure a very much 
corroded and imperfect Cone found there, without being 
able to give a satisfactory character or name to it. It 
is not impossible that it may be a very large specimen 
of C. concinnus, but the canal around ihe spire, and its 
shorter form, render it doubttul: there are obscure in 
dications of tubercles or large crenulations upon the 
spire: I cannot reféz it to any species described by 
Lamarck or Brocchi. 
CONUS scabriculus.---TAB. CCCIIEI. 
Spec. Cuar. Fusiform, rather short, striated; 
striz elevated, toothed. 
var. P, elongated, striz numerous, minutely 
toothed, (fig. 2.) 
Syn. Conus scabriculus. Brander, 21. 
Pac greatest width in a is rather less than half the 
Jength: in var. 8 it is only one-third: the strie vary 
from 7 to 24; when few, each consists of a series of 
large, sharp, compressed teeth, in proportion as they 
are fewer they are more elevated, and the teeth are 
smaller; the last whorl is rather swelled out of the 
regular conical form ; the aperture is longer than the 
spire ; the right lip is sometimes plaited at the edge, 
opposite the teeth in the strie, and the left lip is not 
visible. : 
A common shell at Barton. I am indebted to Miss 
Salisbury for several specimens.
