Hub. Cai^e St. Thomas, Brazils (found in sandy mud at the depth 

 of thirty-five fathoms) ; Clery, 



I have much pleasure in adopting the name of an intelligent French 

 naval commander, to whom we are indebted for this, and many new 

 and interesting species of shells.

The Conus erythrceensis is perhaps the nearest allied species to this, 

 well characterized by the stained interior, and the more dotted style 

 of the external painting. 



Conus Gruneri. Con. testa turbinatd, superne lavi, infra trans- 

 versim sulcata, sulcis prominetitibus ; albd, maculis subquadratis 

 rubris trifasciatim tceniatd, intervallis punctis rubris minutissimis 

 aspersis ; spird depresso-pland, spiraliter canaliculatd, busi intus 

 extusque nigricante-violaceo tinctd.

 Hab. Island of Java. 



This is a beautiful little species, very distinct from any hitherto 

 described. At the request of Mr. Cuming I have named it after M, 

 Griiner of Bremen, a very zealous collector, whom I thank most cor- 

 dially, not only for the loan of the shell, but for setting an example 

 which I trust continental amateurs will not fail to profit by. 



There is another specimen, of rather larger size, in the cabinet of 

 Mr. J. E. Gray of the British Museum.- 



CoNTis siNDON. Cou. tcstd subventricoso-turbiiiatd, laviusculd ; 

 albidd, lineis rubido-fuscis subtilissimis densissime bi/asciatim de- 

 cussatd ; spird subobtuso-convexd, apice rosacea.

Hab. ? 



This interesting shell, for the loan of which I am indebted to the 

 zeal of Mr. Adamson of Newcastle, is very distinct from any hitherto 

 described species. The painting viewed through an ordinary lens 

 suggests the appearance of very fine lawn or cambric linen, and is 

 of a quite novel character. 



CoNXJS Parius. Con. testd turbinatd, solidd, superne obesd, basim. 

 versus sulcatd, sulcis distantibus latiusculis, densissime striato- 

 cancellatis ; marmoreo-albd ; spird plano-convexd, Icevi, apice mu- 

 cronato, fuscescente.
