Conus jukesi, Reeve ; Sow. Thes. Conus, pl. 13. fig. 297. 
A very angular species, peculiarly mottled with bluish grey and 
olive, found, in company with C. maculatus, under stones at low water, 
spring tides. The best station for them in Port Jackson is the Bottle- 
and-Glass Rocks. I got in one day twenty splendid specimens ; length 
of largest specimens 1} inch, smallest specimens l inch. ‘This Cone 
is also found at Broken Bay, Lake Macquarie, Newcastle, and Port 
Stephens, north of Port Jackson. 
3. CoNUS GRAYI. 
Conus grayi, Reeve, P. Z. S. 1843, p. 179; Conch. Icon. pl. 46. 
fig. 258; Sow. Thes. Conus, pl. 13. fig. 275. 
A somewhat elongated shell, smooth above, ridged below, and 
handsomely painted with two rows of large waved blackish spots. 
Mr. G. F. Angas found one some years ago in Middle Harbour. It 
must be a species of rare occurrence, for I have never met with it. 
On the authority of Mr. G. B. Sowerby, jun., this Cone is found on 
the coast of West Africa. 
4. Conus APLUSTRE. 
Conus aplustre, Reeve, Conch. Icon. pl. 30. fig. 170 ; Sow. Thes. 
Conus, pl. 19. fig. 448. 
The specimen figured by Reeve is beach-worn, and his figure does 
not represent the species. This Cone is very often found thrown 
up with the animal after heavy gales that sweep along our coast in 
the winter; it is of an angulated form, spotted with black in lines, 
but sometimes of an orange tint and spotted with light red in lines. 
Length of specimens found at Newcastle, Broken Bay, and Lake 
Macquarie, north of Port Jackson, 1 inch. I have three specimens 
from Middle Harbour, 4 inch in length. I got at Cape Solander, 
South Head of Botany Bay, two specimens; length } inch. I have 
another specimen from Port Fairy, Victoria, on the south-east coast 
of Australia; length 1 inch (Mr. R. C. Rossiter). On the authority 
of Mr. G. B. Sowerby, this Cone is also found at the Cape of Good 
Hope. 
5. Conus RUTILUS. 
Conus rutilus, Menke, Moll. Nov. Holl. p. 57. no. 133; Reeve, 
Conch. Icon. pl. 47. fig. 264 ; Sow. Thes. Conus, pl. 14. fig. 328. 
This interesting little species is described by some authors as of a 
fiery red. I have five specimens, got at Cape Solander, South Head 
of Botany Bay, of a light brown, very thin and slightly coronated ; 
length 5 lines. It is very rare on our east coast. I have three specimens 
from Cape Riche, King George’s Sound, Western Australia, of a 
fiery red, coronated and dotted with brown in lines; length 6 lines.
