32 CONUS. 



interrupted fillets of a darker brown, leaving a whitish hand 

 around the centre and along the upper margin; spire tessellated. 



Length, 37 mill. 



Habitat unknown. 



Dr. Weinkauff supposes this to be a variety of C. acuminatus, 

 Hwass ; it appears to me to be too close to C. monile, Hwass. 



C. BIFASCIATUS. Sowb. PI. 9, fig. 61. 



Shell rosy white, with a chestnut band on the spire, one above 

 the middle and another at the base of the body-whorl. 



Length, 1 inch. 



Habitat unknown. 



An obscure species, only known by Sowerby's figure and A. 

 Adams' description of C./asciatus (preoccupied). 



C. SPICULUM, Reeve. PL 9, fig. 62. 



Shell narrowly fusiform, with greatly elevated spire ; body- 

 whorl ridged at the base ; whitish, with a few chestnut spots. 



Length. 1 inch. 



Philippines. 



Said hy Reeve to differ from the young of C. generalis ; it is, 

 however, undoubtedly a young shell. Several specimens occurred 

 to C uming, dredged at 25 fathoms. 



C. SUBCAUINATUS, Sowb. PL 9, fig. 63. 



Shell smooth, silicate towards the base ; white, tinted with 

 very light purple, with brown, angulated longitudinal flames, 

 interrupted by a central white band ; a variety has two wide 

 bands, ornamented with interrupted revolving lines. 



Length, 40 mill. 



Nicobar Ides. 



I am not acquainted with this species. 



C. FULGURANS, Hwass. PL 9, figs. 65, 66. 



Shell ovately conical, rather solid, spire broadly channeled, 

 base distantly grooved ; white, with rust-brown flexuous longi- 

 tudinal flames, and a white central band, with revolving row of 

 spots. Length, 40 mill. 



Moluccas j N. Australia (Brazier). 



Dr. Weinkauff makes C. eximius, Reeve (fig. 66), = the young 

 of this species.
