75. Con us virgo, Lin. Not very common and genemlly found 

 on sandy bottom in the upper region of the laminarian zone. 

 The animal has a tawny-yeUow colored foot edged 

 Avith chrome-yellow, the disk clouded and veined with 

 yellowish-brown, and its upper surflice mottled and veined 

 with light brown and black ; muzzle creamy-white edged 

 ■with chrome-yellow, and the latter transversely streaked 

 with the same hue and ornamented with a transverse black 

 zone ; the margin is diluted white margined with chrome- 

 yellow. 



76. CoNUS vuLPiNUS, Brug. Not uncommon on sandy-mud 



bottom in the upper region of the laminarian zone. 



77. CoNUS VARius, Lin. A very rare species; found under clumps 



of coral on reefs. 



78. CoNUS VERMicuLATUS, Lam. Abundant on reefs at all the 



South Sea Islands. 



79. CoNUS sp. A single beach worn example found at 



the Marquesas^ which I cannot refer to any species known 

 to me. It is 37 mill, long by 20 in diameter, shaped like 

 C. musteUnus, with about 40 closely-set transverse conpicu- 

 ous elevated lines, but the normal colors have almost 

 entirely disappeared. 



80. CoNUS sp. Several dead but tolerably perfect specimens 



found. In color and markings not unlike C. oniaria, 

 though only half as large. It may only be a variety of 

 that species. 



81. CoNUS sp. A single immature example found on the 



reef at Huahine, Society Islands, is like an immature C. 

 virgo. It is only 16 miU. long by 8 in diameter; color, 

 excepting a few brown spots on the spire, uniform flesh 

 tint under a thin, smooth horn colored epidermis ; spire 

 with eight volutions which are deeply striated.
