Loc. Amirantes : Station E 21, 30 fathoms, among quantities of Halimeda and 

 Lithothamnia. 



Known to the older school of conchologists as the " Crowned Admiral." Though it 

 can always be differentiated from amiidralis, L., it is a moot question whether it is 

 really distinct specifically, though so treated by both Dillwyn, Sowerby, and others. 

 The latter gives habitat " Mauritius," but von Martens * queries this. At all events, 

 the dredging of this beautiful Cone at the Amirantes establishes the fact of its presence 

 near the Mauritius, while Paetel (Catalog der Conchyl.-Samml. p. 291) mentions the 

 Seychelles as a locality also.

A smooth, very beautiful variety. 



I am much indebted to Mr. G. B. Sowerby for his opinion as to this shell.
