TEXTILIA CUVIERL (Crosse), 
Conus cumert Crosse, 18558, p. 128. New name for 
Conus deshayesit Reeve, 1848, pl. v, sp. 28. Swan River. 
Loc. Aden. 
Remarks. Our specimens from Aden are typical, I is probably not a West- 
ern Australian shell, thoneh it is also recorded from Queensland, 
TEXTILIA STILLATA (Reeve). 
Conus stillatus Reeve, 1849, pl. 5, sp. 247. Molnecas, 
Loc. Molueceas. Broome, Western Australia, 
Remarks. Although this species and spectrwi have been regarded as the 
same, they are here separated. Our specimens of this species are very bulbous 
and have the spire rounded off in the adult. Similar specimens of spectrime ojf 
the same size are definitely much narrower and with sharply defined colour pattern 
and centrally aceuminate spire recalling in this respect Pronaconous such as the 
janus series. 
TeExTILIA SPECTRA (Linné). 
Conus spectrum Linné, 1758, p. 717. Asia.

tenus FLroraconus Iredale. 
Floraconus Iredale, 1930, pt. 1, p. 80. 
Genotype : Conus anemone Lamarek, 1810. New Holland. 
Remarks. Shell yariable in form, short and robust, spire short or elevated ; 
spire and body whorl closely encircled throughout with close ridged striae; colour 
of a floral and variable pattern. Species here included such as singleton, rema, 
compressus, seagrovet, vincentianus may be regarded by some as varieties or sub- 
species in the usual acceptance of these terms. However, in each case a long 
series in this collection critically examined has rather convinced me that there are 
considerable and consistent differences. 
FLORACONUS ANEMONE (Lamarck). 
Conus anemone Lamarek, 1810, p. 272. New Holland. 
Conus roseotinctus Sowerby, 1866, p. 325. Hab.?

Loc. North, West, South Australia and Tasmania. Alive among rocks at 
low tide and dredged alive down to 10 fathoms and dead from 22 fathoms down. 
Remarks. Very common and variable. I have not seen Brazier’s type speci- 
men of either flindersi or remo. Pritchard and Gatliff, 1900, p. 181, remark of these 
twa species ‘‘We have carefully examined the types of the two last shells quoted,
