fig. 1. 
This new species was brought to Sydney twelve months ago by 
some person in Captain Cadell’s expedition, which was sent out by 
the South-Australian Government to select a site fur a settlement in 
the far north of Australia near to Liverpool River, Arnhem Land, 
North Australia.

This fine species was described by Professor M‘Coy of Melbourne, 
Victoria, from two very bad beach-worn specimens ; but he gave no 
locality. It was described a month before my specimen arrived in 
London for Mr. Angas to have it described and figured in these Pro- 
ceedings ; therefore Voluta thatcheri has priority. I have received 
a few very fine specimens these last four months which at present 
remain unique in my cabinet. The length of the largest specimen 
is 5 inches, diameter 43 inches. This Volute comes from a rather 
rough part of the South Pacific Ocean—the Bampton Reef, in lati- 
tude 19° 51’ south, longitude 158° 20! east, near to the north-west 
coast of New Caledonia. My first specimen, at present in London, 
was got by my father Captain John Brazier, in one of his whaling- 
voyages many years ago. It is from deep water, and is found on 
the reef after heavy southerly gales.

1. Conus MacuLaTus. 
Conus maculatus, Sow. Thes. Conus, pl. 13. fig. 296. 
This species must not be confused with C. anemone of South 
Australia. C. maculatus is a nearly smooth, thin, peculiarly inflated 
shell, richly mottled with purplish brown, and attains a larger size 
than C. anemone, which is of a true conical form, more solid and 
transversely striated, with an elevated spire and splashed with rose- 
brown. C. maculatus is found under stones, low water, spring tides. 
I got in one day, at the Bottle-and-Glass Rocks, fifty specimens, from 
one inch up to 23 inches inlength. I have one specimen from Cape
