1 62 MELVILL : MOLLUSCA OF S. CAROLINA AND FLORIDA. 



58. Conus columba (Brug.) 



Very abundant on the reefs. Key West. 



59. C. pusio (Lam.) 



Abundant. Key West. 



60. C. Pealii (Green.) 



One specimen found — may be this species — but it is in 

 very bad condition. 



61. C. Melvillii (Sowb. jun., 1879.) 



One specimen. Key West. This very distinct species 

 is represented by Mr. Sowerby as being probably near C. 

 reticulains. To my mind it approaches C. adaiisoni i^zxa..) 

 an African species, but it is abundantly distinct from any 

 species known. 



62. C. nebulosus (Soland.) 



One s]:)ecimen in young state, with very sharp spire. 

 I did not observe C. Fioridensis (Sowb.) 



Fam ■ STROMBIDAi. 



63. S. bubonius (Lam.) 



Key West. 



64. S. lobatus (Sw.) = bituberculatus (Lam.) 



Key West. 



65. S. glgas (L.) 



Very abundant on the reefs, Key West, but mostly in 

 young state. Upon incautiously handling a specimen I was 

 bitten in the hand, though, happily, not very severely. 



Fam: CYFFEIDyE. 



66. Cypraea exanthema (L.) 



On the mangrove stems, North shore. Key West. Very 

 fine specimens. 



67. Ovula (Birostra) acicularis (Lam.) 



On Gorgonise, Sullivan's Island, Charleston Harbour. 



J.C, iii., April, 1881
