lirate anteriorly; lirae gradually becoming obsolete anteriorly; colouration 
white, axially clouded with brown, cut by a narrow white spiral at the 
basal third; whole surface of the body whorl with spirals of regular 
minute brown dots, the shoulder angle of the spire whorls with a single spiral of 
slightly larger spots; outer lip thick ; aperture narrow and white. Heioht 60 mm.,

Lee. ‘‘New Hebrides.’’ 
Remarks. This unique specimen has somewhai the colour pattern of the 
intorrwptus series something like tornutus Réding, 1798, nom. nud., “Broderip,”’ 
Sowerby, 1835, pt, 29, fig. 25, but is more solid, less acute, almost straight sided, less 
gradate spire, Tt also recalls to some extent the obscure lemniseatus Reeve, 1849, 
pl. 5, sp, 246, from unknown locality which has a straight sided body whorl, How- 
ever, the present shell is undoubtedly related to awrisiacus belonging to the genus 
Hermes. The new species is readily distingnished from aurisiaeus by the differently 
sculptured and shaped spire and distinetive colour pattern. Conus swzoni Bartsch 
1939, p. 1, fig. 18, from Florida bears some resemblance, but differs in shape, the 
sides beiny straight and, if anything, concave, in that species, while the colour 
pattern is coarser with a teudency to form axial lines, entirely absent in the fine 
pattern of triggt. The Kenyon label with this and two or three assorted broken 
cones read ‘‘New Hebrides.’’ Named after Frank Trigg, a keen South Anstra- 
lian collector of Cone Shells.

Genotype: Conus glans Bruguiére, 1792. Africa, 
Remarks. Shell narrow but wider than in Hermes and slightly pyriform; 
spire short and obtuse; body whorl sculptured with rather coarse, granular spirals.

Remarks, Also recorded fron Exmouth Gult, North-Western Australia.

Conus tenuistriatus Sowerby, 1858, p. 46, pl, 22, fig. 314. Philippines, 
Loc, Kenyon Collection, Queensland. Hast Coast Papua. 
Remarks, A series in the Kenyon Collection agrees with the origin al deserip- 
tion and has the locality quoted ‘‘Philippines and New Caledonia.” They are 
larger and less coarsely sculptured than any of the glans series and seem distinct, 
though fenwistriatus has usually been regarded as a synonym of that species,
