Hab. Solomon Islands (Brazier). 



The faint coloring of the body of the shell is relieved by a 

 remarkably handsome spire, forming quite a startling contrast. 



The specimen sent to me by Mr. J. Brazier (now in the fine 

 collection of Mr. J. Cosmo Melvill) which is one of the only three 

 he has seen, is in fine condition. Mr. Brazier took it for a var. 

 of Conus circumcisus Born, but it is evidently distinct from that 

 species. It is somewhat nearer to C. aurisiacus, but differs from 

 that species in form and proportions, as well as in the absence of 

 the markings on the body whorl.

The family Fusidae commenced in Part ix is concluded in 

 Part X. Fifty-five species of doubtful or spurious Fusidae are 

 enumerated. The genus Afe?- is retained but with doubt and 

 another species is placed in it Fusus Blosvillei Desh., from the 

 Asiatic seas. 



The genus Clavella is retained with one species only, and 

 that with some hesitation. Three species are removed — C. avel- 

 lana Reeve is a Cronia; C. distorta Reeve is one of the Pisanimce; 

 and C. subrostrata Gray belong to the MelongeniituB, 



Buccinofusus of which Boreofusus Sars is a synonym, has two 

 species.
