Both specimens are small and rather bleached, especially that from Stat. 133, which is 

 scarcely recognizable, they agree with Reeve's figure, much less so with those of Sowerby, 

 Weinkauff and Tryon, the latter two being rude copies of Sowerby's figure.

The specimens are rather small, worn shells, consequently of somewhat doubtful identification. 



22. Conus (Ammirales) jilici^ictus n. sp. PI. XXV, fig. i. 



Stat. 51. Madura-bay. 69 — 91 M. Fine grey sand, coarse sand with shells i Spec. 



Shell rather small, conical, with elevated spire and sharp upper angle, body-whorl slightly 

 attenuated above and below and nearly imperceptibly in the centre. Whorls about 9, (nucleus 

 wanting), gradate, upper ones indistinctly tubercular, with a few spiral striae, disappearing in 

 lower whorls and close-set growth-striae, upper face of whorls slightly excavated, separated by 

 an undulated suture, which is very inconspicuous by the gradation of the whorls; spire white 

 with redbrown blotches. Colour of body-whorl whitish-brown, with irregular redbrown perpen- 

 dicular clouds and numerous darker spiral lines, 2 1 in number, leaving a narrow upper zone 

 and a larger submedian one nearly white, with a few scattered redbrown points, giving the 

 impression of 3 other, strongly interrupted lines ; base spotted with same colour, with about 7 

 spiral grooves. Aperture narrow, peristome broken, but will have been (according to growth- 

 striae) straight, with a sinus at its upper part, columellar margin nearly straight. 



Alt. 27Y2, lat. 15; apert. alt. 23, lat. about 2^2 Mill. 



Though this specimen is in no very splendid condition, it seems to be too characteristic 

 to remain undescribed. In shape it resembles the broader specimens of C. ammiralis, but in 

 colourmarkings I know no species in that or in allied groups, which could be compared with 

 it. The number of whorls which may have been 10 to 12 and the different sculpture of the 

 lower whorls, may justify the opinion, that the specimen is adult or nearly so.
