I am not aware that the raised longitudinal striae with which this 

 shell is so delicately sculptured are to be found in any other species 

 of the genus.

There is always a doubtful character about shells exhibiting faint 

 indications of colour ; I have not, however, succeeded in referring 

 this to any species hitherto described.

This is an interesting and important species, of which there is a 

 fainter specimen, of more elongated growth, in the collection of 

 Mr. Adamson of Newcastle.

This species, of which there are several examples in the British 

 Museum, all with the violet-tinged aperture, exhibits the same con- 

 trast of colour as a very peculiar white variety of the Conus nivosus.

This shell may probably have been confounded with the Conus 

 lividus ; it is, however, quite distinct from that species both in the 

 detail of the painting and in the structure of the spire. The spire 

 is canaliculated, and very peculiarly beaded with fine oblique nodules,
