13. CoNUS CONSUL, Boiv.? Several dead but perfect examples 



found on an extensive sand flat on the south coast of 

 Vanua Levu, Viti Islands. We are uncertain about the 

 determination of this species. Boivin's description and 

 figure agrees very closely with this shell. It is also very 

 much like Conns raphanus, Brug., and may possibly be 

 that species. 



14. CoNUS CAPiTANEUS, I>in. This is not by any means a 



common species. We obtained a few examples on reefs 

 in Western Polynesia. 



15. CoNUS CATUS, Brug. Found at all the South Sea Islands, 



except the Marquesas, and more plentiful at the Panmotus 

 than elsewhere. Station, under stones on reefs. 



The animal is pale cinereous, varied with delicate 

 brown mottlings, which are most conspicuous in the 

 muzzle. 



16. CoNUS CLAVUS, Lin. A rare species; found under clumps of 



coral on reefs. 



17. CoNUS cocciNEUS, Gmel. Rare, and only found washed up 



on beaches. We received a few examples fj'om Swain's 

 Island, all beach worn. 



18. CoNUS CYLiNDRACEUS, Brod. A very rare species; only oc- 



curred to us in the condition of beach shells. Besides the 

 locations mentioned, we have ascertained that it is occasion- 

 ally found in Flint's Island, which is also in Eastern Po- 

 lynesia. 



19. CoNUs DisTANS, Brug. A common species at most of the 



South Sea Islands. 



The animal is very timid and sluggish, of a purple 

 brown color, with paler mottlings and darker veins. Tire 

 siphon is white, varied witlr purple brown spots. Mouth 

 white, margined with brown; on reefs.
