42 CONUS. 



Var. PAZII, Bernardi. PI. 12, fig. 34. 



Shell whitish, with irregular orange-brown longitudinal macu- 

 lations, interrupted to form a white band at the shoulder, another 

 at the middle, and a third at the base of the body-whorl; every- 

 where encircled with small spots in revolving series. 



C. TRIGONUS, Reeve. PI. 12, fig. 35. 



Somew r hat triangularly ovate, grooved at the base ; spire 

 depressed, five-grooved, sharp at the apex; white, stained and 

 banded with reddish brown, and encircled with numerous narrow 

 delicately articulated filaments ; spire tessellated. 



Length, 1'25 inches. 



Philippines. 

 C. AUREOLUS, Sowb. PL 12, fig. 36. 



Spire rather depressed, with sharp apex, body-whorl striate 

 below ; yellowish, with light chestnut spots in revolving series. 



Length, '15-1 inch. 



Habitat unknown. 



The specimen of largest dimension is before me ; it agrees 

 perfectly with Sowerby's figure, and certainly is not fully grown. 



C. COFFEA, Gmelin. PL 12, figs. 37-39. 



Shell yellowish brown, white-banded in the middle and less 

 distinctly so at the shoulder and base of the body-whorl ; these 

 bands are sometimes maculated, like the spire, with chestnut, 

 and there are, on the darker portions, occasional faint chestnut 

 revolving lines. Length, 2 inches. 



Red Sea, East Africa, Malacca. 



Closely united in characters with G. rattus, of which it may 

 be only a variety ; partakes also of the characters of C. classia- 

 rius, and less distinctly of G. capitaneus. It is not unlikely that 

 these species, with G. mustelinus, will need to be united when 

 we become better acquainted with the variations of the Cones. 

 C. excavatus, Sowb. (fig. 38), and C. incarnatus, Reeve (fig. 39), 

 are respectively fine and pale-colored varieties of G. coffea. 



C. TURBINATUS, Sowb. PL 12, fig. 40. 



Shell yellowish brown, with several narrow, lighter bands; 

 grooved towards the base. Length, 1*75 inches. 



Habitat unknown.
