 65. Conns (Texti) aureus Hwass? 



HWASS. Enc. Meth. p. 742, PI. 346, fig. i. 



Stat. 47. Bay of Bima, near South fort. 55 M. Mud with patches of fine coralsand. i Spec. 



The specimen is very young and bad, however the spire agrees with that of full-grown 

 ones, so I may record it with doubt, but have not quoted the different authors, as of course 

 none of their figures agrees with the specimen of 15 Mill. 



Tlje Siboga-collection contains moreover some specimens of Comts^ belonging to various 

 sections, but they are too bad or too young for identification, so I have omitted them.

Stat. 258. Tual, Kei-islands. 22 M. Lithothamnion, sand and coral, i Spec. 



The specimen is uncommonly large, more than 100 Mill, in length, though the apex is 

 not complete, with complete spire it certainly should have reached 105 Mill, and so considerably 

 surpassed the measurements of Weinkauff's and Tryon's specimens.

sand with clay and shells, i Spec. 

 Stat. 240. Banda. 9 — 45 M. Black sand, coral, Lithothamnion. 2 Spec. 



The specimen from Stat. 162 has lost its lower whorls and is a little doubtful, however 

 the sculpture and dark spots agree with those of upper whorls of complete specimens.
