than wide ; the angles of the whorls obtuse, 

 waved, the upper edg'es finely crenated ; strias 

 sharp, elevated ; aperture narrow. 



Syn. Conus Corculum, Sjic. Morris, Cat. Brit. 

 Foss. 142. 



A BEAUTIFUL and rare shell : it much resembles C. con- 

 cinnus (M. C. 302), but it has a shorter spire, finer striae, 

 and less ornament. 



These four species of Conus are all from Bracklesham 

 Bay, on the coast of Sussex, where they were collected 

 by Mr. Bowerbank. The Coradum and velatus are very 

 rare, only one specimen of each is known. The other two 

 are among the manyinstances of species occurring at Brack- 

 lesham which are perfectly identical with those of the Paris 

 Basin ; while nearly all the shells of the clay of London 

 and Barton, although similar, are distinguishable from the 

 French ones. The discovery of this fact has rewarded the 

 incessant labours of Messrs. Bowerbank and Edwards, 

 whose assistance I beg to acknowledge with gratitude.
