This shell, which is of a solid, shining white (like the celebrated 
marble of Paros), has been evidently confounded with the Conus co- 
lumba; it requires however no very great exercise of critical discri- 
mination to perceive that it differs materially both from that and the 
preceding species. 
Conus exaratus. Con. testdé turbinatd, subangustd, per totam su- 
perficiem sulcatd, sulcis regularibus, latiusculis, interstitiis subti-

This is a very distinct species, remarkable for the regularity with 
which it is grooved.

There is no trace of any purple-red spots or other dark character 
on the body of the shell. 
Conus acutEirormis. Con. testd elongato-turbinatd, subfusiformi, 
undique sulcatd, sulcis subtilissimé striato-cancellatis, nunc an- 
gustis, liris intermediis planis latiusculis, nunc latioribus, liris 
intermediis rotundatis angustis ; albida, fuscescente punctatd, ma- 
culis fuscescentibus biseriatim cinctd ; spird acuminatd, apice elato,

Hab, Cagayan, island of Mindanao, Philippines (dredged from 
sandy mud at the depth of from twenty-five to thirty fathoms) ; Cu- 
ming. 
The specimens collected by Mr. Cuming at the above-mentioned 
island are mostly smaller than those here figured. 
Conus viotaceus. Con. testa elongato-turbinatd, cylindraced, tenui, 
nitidd ; violaced, transversim obsolete fuscescente punctato-lineatd, 
Fuscescente longitudinaliter strigatd, aut sparsim maculatd ; strigis 
subdistantibus, lineis brevibus fuscescentibus, exiliter albiarticu- 
latis, ornatis ; spird rotundato-obtusd, spiraliter striata.

Hab. Matnog, island of Luzon, Philippines (found on the reefs) ; 
Cuming. 
This is a very interesting species ; the faint dotted lines with which 
the entire shell is encircled are scarcely visible on the violet ground
