DESCRIPTION OF SPECIES 



GASTEROPODA 



CONID^E 

 CONTJS Linnaeus 



Shell convolute, inverted, top shaped, sometimes quite cylin- 

 drical, spire short, conical; mouth long, narrow, without teeth 

 or wrinkles, possessing anterior outlet; outer lip sharp, plain, 

 sometimes with a gap posteriorly; operculum horny, narrow. 

 Conns includes 526 recent and about 160 fossil species, principally 

 distributed in the younger Tertiary formations. (Zittel.) 



The genus Conns reaches its greatest development in the 

 tropics, and the most valued living species, C. gloria-maris 

 Hwass, was found in the Philippines. They are beach forms. 

 This fact indicates that the formations containing fossils of 

 this genus were laid down in shallow water.
