SUMMARY. 
1. The family Conidae can be divided into groups probably representing sub- 
families. 
2. The groups are composed of natural genera containing related species, but 
more generic names will be required before a satisfactory classification can be 
offered. 
3. Some of the ‘‘variable’’ and widely distributed ‘‘species’’ may each represent 
a complex of geographic, deep or shallow water subspecies, requiring more 
material and definitely localized specimens to elucidate. 
4. The structure, shape, and detail function of the radula denticles in various 
species, varies considerably. 
ao 
The denticles are readily torn at the base, from the delicate radula ribbon, pro- 
bably by muscular action against the anchoring of the barbs. 
6. The radula of the common South Australian Cone Shell Floraconus anemone 
is poisonous.
