U. S. S. " Albatross," station 3354, one dead and broken specimen, Gulf of 

 Panama, iu 322 .fathoms, mud, bottom temperature 46° F. U. S. N. Mus. 

 123,083. Probably disgorged by a fish. Gulf of Papagayo and Bay of Montijo, 

 west coast of tne State of Panama, Middle America, iu ten to seventeen fathoms, 

 sandy mud, Cuming. 



It is not likely that this well-known species lived at a depth of 322 fathoms. It 

 was dredged in Panama Bay at two localities in 33 fathoms, bottom temperature 

 64°F., off Guaymas in 20 fathoms, and near the head of the Gulf of California, in 

 33 fathoms, mud. Other localities represented in the National Museum are : Cape 

 St. Lucas, Puerto Libertad, and Real Llejos. It had also been reported from the 

 last mentioned locality by Morch. 



Conidae. 



CONUS LiNNE. 



Conus gradatus Mawb. 



Conus gradatus Mawe, Conch., 1823, p. 90; Wood, SuppL Ind. Test, Conus, 1828, 

 fig. 6. 



U. S. S. " Albatross," station 3368, in 66 fathoms, rocky bottom, near Cocos 

 Island, Gulf of Panama ; one dead specimen, verging toward the variety regularia 

 Sowerby. The species ranges from the Gulf of California to Panama. 



Conus ? sieboldi Reeve. 



Conus "^ sieboldi Reeve, Conch. Icon., 1848, 1, Conus, fig. 269; Sowerby, Thes. 

 Conch., 1857, 3, p. 13, pi. 202, fig. 36'J. 



U. S. S. " Albatross," station 4642, four miles off Hood Island, Galapagos Ids., 

 in 300 fathoms. 



A broken fragment, agreeing very well with Sowerby's figure of this species, 

 was obtained as above, U. S. N. Mus. 110,614. It was originally described from 

 Japan, and better material may iu future show the Galapagos shell to be distinct.
