32 CONUS. 



interrupted ill lets 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, 

 Ilwass ; 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 bod3'-whorl. 



Length, 1 inch. 



Habitat unknown. 



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

 Adams' description of C.fasciatus (preoccupied). 



C. SPICULUM, Reeve. PI. 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 by Reeve to differ from the young of C. generalis ; it is, 

 however, undoubtedly a young shell. Several specimens occurred 

 to Cum ing, dredged at 25 fathoms. 



C. SUBCARINATUS, 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 Isles. 



I am not acquainted with this species. 



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



Shell ovately conical, rather solid, spire broadly channeled, 

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

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

 spots. Length, 40 mill. 



Moluccas, N. Australia (Brazier). 



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

 of this species.
