The thirty-five species already referred to have been figured 

 in the '' Illustrations of the Zoology of the ' Investigator/ " 

 Mollusca, pis. ix.-xii. (1901). The sixteen new species now 

 described will be figured in a future part of the same work.

Conus turriculatus, Sowerby. 



Conus iurrictdatiis, Smith, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 1894, vol. xiv. 

 p. 160. 



Hab. Off Mangalore, Malabar coast, 26-30 fatb. 



The largest specimen of this species in the Cuming Collec- 

 tion, hitherto confused with C. Sowerbii, is 35 mm. in lengtli. 

 This is rather larger than the type, and, judging from the 

 thinness of the lip, it is scarcely adult. 



Conus semisulcatus, Sowerby. 



Conus semisulcatus, Sowerbv, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1870, p. 257, pi. xxii. 

 fig. 13 ; Thes. Conch, vol. v. p. 253, pi. 508. fig. 666 (bad!). 



Hab. ? (Soiverby) ; off Vizagapatam coast, 20 fath. 



The type of this species in the collection of the Britisli 

 Museum is a young shell only 21 mm. in length. The more 

 mature, possibly adult, examples from Vizagapatam, 33 ram. 

 long, agree exactly with it in all other respects. The surface 

 is clothed with a thin deciduous periostracum, which exhibits 

 a few distant setose lines or ridges upon the body-whorl and 

 is coarser and lamellated upon the spire, which has about 

 five whorls succeeding the smooth glassy protoconch, finely 

 coronated. The sulci upon the anterior end of the shell arc 

 about eleven in number.
