I have much pleasure in adopting the name of an intelligent French 
naval commander, to whom we are indebted for this, and many new 
and interesting species of shells. 
Conus prreratus. Con. testd subabbreviato-turbinatd, basim versis 
sulcatd ; albd, maculis fuscis parvis sparsis irregulariter ornatd ;

Hab. ? 
The Conus erythreensis is perhaps the nearest allied species to this, 
well characterized by the stained interior, and the more dotted style 
of the external painting. 
Conus Griinert. Con. testd turbinatd, superne levi, infra trans- 
versim sulcatd, sulcis prominentibus ; albd, maculis subquadratis 
rubris trifasciatim teniatd, intervallis punctis rubris minutissimis

ectusque nigricante-violaceo tinctd.

Hab. Island of Java. 
This is a beautiful little species, very distinct from any hitherto 
described. At the request of Mr. Cuming I have named it after M. 
Griiner of Bremen, a very zealous ccllector, whom I thank most cor- 
dially, not only for the loan of the shell, but for setting an example 
which I trust continental amateurs will not fail to profit by. 
There is another specimen, of rather larger size, in the cabinet of 
Mr. J. E. Gray of the British Museum. 
Conus sinpon. Con. testd subventricoso-turbinatd, leviusculd ; 
albidd, lineis rubido-fuscis subtilissimis densissime bifasciatim de= 
cussatd ; spird subobtuso-convexd, apice rosaceo.

Hab. ? 
This interesting shell, for the loan of which I am indebted to the 
zeal of Mr. Adamson of Newcastle, is very distinct from any hitherto 
described species. The painting viewed through an ordinary lens 
suggests the appearance of very fine lawn or cambric linen, and is 
of quite a novel character. 
Conus Parrus. Con. testd turbinatd, solidd, superne obesd, basim 
versus sulcatd, sulcis distantibus latiusculis, densissimé striato- 
cancellatis ; marmoreo-albd ; spird plano-converd, levi, apice mu- 
cronato, fuscescente.
