nomenclature precludes the possibility of our following the title by 
which he distinguished it. The Conus spectrum is described by that 
author under the name of Conus eres, and this immediately follows 
under that of Conus teres levis; the former is however a shell of a 
more inflated growth, and distinguished moreover by markings of 
which the Conus Martinianus is entirely destitute. Most specimens 
exhibit a longitudinal white streak here and there, running parallel 
with the lines of growth. 
Conus incarnatus. Con. testd turbinatd, vie pyriformi, basim 
versus subtilissime liratd, liris numerosis, confertis ; alba, fasciis 
duabus latissimis, pallidé incarnatis, cinctd ; spird convexiusculd, 
spiraliter incisd, maculis incarnatis arcuatis pallide variegatd, 
apice mucronato, elato.

Hab. Malacca (found on mud-banks) ; Cuming. 
Although the specimen above described is in the best state of pre- 
servation, I should have judged it, from its simple style of colouring, 
to be a shell of immature growth, were it not that Mr. Cuming col- 
lected several specimens of them at Malacca on the mud-banks, all 
exhibiting the same uniformity of external character. 
Conus Bericus. Con. testd turbinatd, solidiusculd, levi, basim 
versus granulosa ; alba, punctis maculisque grandibus, beticis, vi- 
vide pictd ; spird subobtuso-convexd, obsolete coronatd, spiraliter 
sulcatd, sulcis striato-cancellatis.

Hab. Philippine Islands ; Cuming. 
The Conicus beticus exhibits no other colour but that of the dots 
and blotches, which are of very dark chocolate-brown upon a white 
ground, 
Conus Eristomium. Con. testd elongato-turbinatd, rectd, tenuiculd, 
albd, maculis aurantio-fuscis, peculiariter fluentibus, bifasciatim 
cinctd, maculis albo subobsoleté transversim punctato-lineatis ; 
spird depressiusculd, fuscescente maculatd,

This shell is of a peculiarly straight form, and reminds one very 
forcibly of the spigot or faucet-stop of a barrel ; the very faint white 
dotted transverse lines are exceedingly regular, and of quite a differ- 
ent character to those of the brocade species. 
Conus cocceus. Con. testd turbinaid, superné obesiusculd, subro- 
tundatd, transversim subtilissime liratd, interstitiis leviter pertusis ; 
albd, liris maculis parvis irregularibus, pallidé cocceis, eximieé te- 
niatis ; spirad obtuso-convexd.

Mr. Cuming possesses three specimens of this delicately marked 
Cone, the entire surface of which is covered with faintly articulated 
fillets of white and scarlet.
