I have much pleasure in dedicating this very chaste and heautiful 

 species to W. J. Broderip, Esq., F.R.S., a gentleman well known in 

 the conchological world, to whose zeal the country is much indebted 

 for this and many other valuable shells which adorn our national 

 collection.

 punctis grandihiis fuscis, trifasciatim confusis, seriatim cinctd ;

Hab, ? 



I am unable to connect this with any hitherto described species ; 

 it exhibits a bright display of colour, and must be a striking shell 

 in finer condition.

 gatd, olivaceo-cceruled, olivaceo-fusco variegatd, tceniutd, et macu-

 vaceo-fusco tinctd. 



Conch. Icon., Conus, pi. 4.G. f. 256. 



Hab. ? 



This is another very richly coloured shell allied in some measure 

 to the Conus Guinaicus, but presenting a very different style of 

 painting. 



Conus Grayi. Con. testd turbinatd, superne obesd, subjjyriformi, 

 solidd, Iccvigatd, basim versus liratd ; ccesid, aut cinereo-cceruled,

 digestis, ornatu ; spird convexd, apice mucronato. 



Conch. Icon., Conus, pi. 46. f. 258. 



Hab. ? 



As our national Museum is indebted to Mr. Gray for this very in- 

 teresting new species, I have much pleasure in naming it after him. 



Conus minutus. Con. testd oblongo-turbinatd, pyramidali, Icevi- 

 gatd; incarnatd, fasciis duabus rubidis latissimis cinctd; spird 

 elatd, anfractuum marginibus rubido-fusco maculatis. 



Conch. Icon., Conus, pi. 47. f. 259. 



Hab. Island of St. Vincent, West Indies ; Guilding. 



This is the smallest species of the genus, and quite peculiar in its 

 characters.

 sulcatd, sulcis prominent ibus, siibdistantibus ; pallide violaceo-albd,

The dark zigzag streaks in this little shell pass over the edges of 

 the whorls, leaving their ends visible on the spire. 



Conus conspersus. Con. testd turbinatd, leviter inflatd, Ucvi, basim 

 versus sulcatd ; pallide luteold, maculis aurantio-fuscis variisque
