tween the groups to which C. auratus and C. textile respectively 

 belong. 



418. Chexui, Bern., (f. 624). — Resembling C. lineatus, but 

 smoother and more straight-sided. 



419. planaxis, Desk., (f. 625). — This appears to have been 

 described in the Book on the Isl. Bourbon, from a very young 

 specimen. It is remarkable for the flatness of its spire. 



420. spiroglossus, Desk., (f. 626). — This, like the preceding, 

 seems to have been figured and described from a specimen too 

 immature to be very characteristic. 



421. Condekti, Bern., (f. 627). — A rather short, thick shell, 

 of angular form, with patches and zigzag markings of chestnut 

 colour. From the figure it would appear that there are several 

 distant, strong spiral ridges near the base. 



422. Crosseanus, Bern., (f. 628, 629). — In the typical variety 

 of this species the white heart-shaped spots have a tendency to be 

 irregularly elongated vertically. — There is a slight shoulder near the 

 angle of the whorls, and the crowning tubercles are small, obtuse, 

 and have a peculiarly pmched-up appearance when not obsolete. 



423. miser, Boivin, (f. G30). — This species, from Cape Verd, 

 has been frequently named in collections, by error, C. sindon, live. 

 The latter is, however, a much more cylindrical shell. 



424. Yillepini, Bern., (f. 629*). — Belonging to the same 

 group as C. undatus, C. emarginatus, etc., but differently marked, 

 it is contracted at the sides and strongly grooved near the base. 



425. Daphne, Boivin, (f. 630*). — Judging from the figure, 

 this species must in some degree resemble C. eonspersiis or C. 

 Broderipii. 



426. Cecili/E, Bern., (f. 631*). — Sculptured with lines of 

 granulation, otherwise resembling C. capitaneus. 



427. Cabritii, Bern., (f. 632). — Distinguished by spiral 

 punctured strire, the whorls rounded at the margin and crowned 

 with rather indistinct rounded nodules. 



428. Mui.TicATKNATUs, Sowb., (f. 633, 634).— Conus brevis, 

 solidus, acutaugulatus, fsevis, albus, prope angulum distanter 

 nigro maculatus, fasciis Litis diubus interrupts et lined textili 

 interrupts mediana cinctus, super fascias lineis fuscis maculis 

 rotundis albis catenatis ornatus; lateribus rectiusculis ; spira 

 brevi, distanter et late maculata, anfractibus supra concavis. —
