tints in both are nearly the same, but in the present shell are 

 rather deeper, the dots of fulvous brighter and more thickly sprink- 

 led, and the bands more numerous. Like the former shell it has two 

 broad bands of brown, checquered with subovate spots of white, and 

 an intermediate dotted line, but these are placed rather nearer 

 towards the narrower end of the shell, and the intervening space 

 between the spire and the larger band, encompassed or girt round 

 with two other linear bands, composed of white and brown dots, 

 besides another still more conspicuous, and composed of larger spots 

 along the base or body- wreath, contiguous to the spire or turban. 



This little shell may be considered as affording an excellent 

 type of one of the rarer kinds of Conus Ammiralis, the variety de- 

 nominated the Six-banded high- spired Admiral Cone. During a 

 period of some years that have now elapsed since the dispersion of 

 that collection, no other example of this variety has occurred to our 

 observation more perfect and characteristic in all its markings.
