in his own handwriting, I am enabled to rectify an error which has 
unfortunately gained considerable circulation. 
By the title now substituted for cervus in reference to the species 
under consideration, I wish to honour my kind and amiable friend 
M. Deshayes, now zealously occupied in completing the conchologi- 
cal portion of the new edition of Lamarck’s ‘ Histoire des animaux 
sans vertébres,’ the publication of which has been long anxiously 
looked for. 
Conus vipva. Con. testd turbinatd, albd, fusco subtilissime reticu- 
latd, reticulis ruptis, subsparsis ; fasciis binis nigerrimo-fuscis, 
maculis albis sparsis, irregulariter punctatis, cinctd ; spird concavo- 
depressd, coronatd, apice subobtuso.

This curiously mottled Cone presents a very different style of 
painting from any hitherto described species. Several specimens 
were collected by Mr. Cuming. 
Conus pictus. Con. testd oblongo-turbinatd, tenuiculd, subventri- 
cosd, puniceo brunneove et albo alternatim fasciatd, fasciis inter- 
stitiisque fusco alboque identidem teniatis et variegatis ; spird 
convexo-elatd, ad marginem peculiariter strigatd, apertura subin- 
flatd.

Hab. ? 
The painting of this pretty shell is of very peculiar character, and 
I know of no other species with which any comparison can well be 
instituted. The most characteristic of two specimens now before 
me exhibits three broad pale scarlet bands, the lower being orna- 
mented with two articulated fillets of brown and white, the middle 
with one only, whilst in the upper band the fillet is altogether want- 
ing. ‘The spaces between the bands are curiously variegated with 
brown (scarlet-brown), and the base and upper edge of the shell are 
obliquely streaked with the same colour; the latter part in such a 
manner as to leave a neat spiral necklace of short streaks upon the 
surface of the spire. In some specimens the articulated fillets are 
more confused, though the necklace of short streaks is still clearly 
defined around the edge of the spire. 
Conus manocant. Con. testd elongato-turbinatd, subcylindraced, 
basim versus sulcatd ; albidd, spadiceo profuse tinctd, teniis fre- 
quentibus spadiceo alboque articulatis cinctd ; spird valde elaid ; 
aperture fauce albd.

Hab. Salango, West Columbia (found in sandy mud) ; Cuming. 
This species differs from the Conus interruptus in having the spire 
narrower and much more elevated’; it is always more strongly and 
fully stained with the dark reddish-brown, and the interior of the 
shell exhibits no indication of any purple. 
Conus InTERMEDIUS. Con. testd elongato-turbinatd, subcylindraced,
