432 MESSES. MELVILL AND STANDEE ON [JuilG 18, 



CoNUS (Leptoconus) s^culabis Melv. 



P.Gr. Grulf of Oman, Malcolm Inlet. 24 fathoms, mud. 



A remarkably beautiful and delicate species. 



CoNrs (Leptoconus) semisulcatus Sowb. 



I. Dredged inside Karachi Harbour. One or two other 

 Leptoconi occur, the North Arabian Sea seemingly being the 

 headquarters of this group ; and we should not be surprised if 

 some other fine species were yet awaiting discovery. Those 

 iust mentioned are not adolescent, and therefore are left for 

 the present. 



CoNus (Ehizoconus) bayani Jouss. 



I. Eastern Telegraph Co. cable. Many dead, adhering to the 

 pitch at 45 fathoms, 125 miles W.S.W. of Bombay. 



CoKus (Ehizooonds) capitaneus L. 



P.G. Shaikh Shuaib I. Dead specimens only. 



CoNTJs (Ehizoconus) eximius ~ReeYe=fulgurans Hwass. 



M.C. Charbar. On rocks at low water. 



CoNUS (Ehizoconus) magus L. 



I. Angrias Bank {Capt. Tindall), but only juvenile examples. 



CoNUS (Ehizoconus) maldivus L. 



P.Gr. Gulf of Oman, Maskat. We think this old Linnean 

 species probably but a variety of the next. 



CoNUS (Ehizoconus) monilb L. 



P.G. Gulf of Oman, Maskat, at 15 fathoms, muddy sand. 

 Also in the Gulf proper at Shaikh Shuaib I., 10 fathoms, among 

 sand and bare rocks. 



CoNUS (Ehizoconus) mutabilis Chemn. 



I. Bombay (AbercromUe). One of the most characteristic 

 molluslis of tiiis locality, occurring southwards to Goa and Panjim 

 (Lt.-Gol. H. D. Olivier)'. 



CoNus (Ehizoconus) nemooanus Hwass. 

 I. Karachi. 



We think hardly a variety of the very different C. sumatrensis 

 Hwass, as proposed by Tryon, Man. Conch, vol. vi. p. 39. 



CoNus (Ehizoconus) punctatus Chemn. 



I. Karachi. In sandy mud, about rocks at low tide.
