than wide ; the angles of the whorls obtuse, 
waved, the upper edges finely crenated ; striae 
sharp, elevated ; aperture narrow. 
Syn. Conus Corculum, Sjic. Morris, Cat. Brit. 
Foss. 142. 
A beautiful and rare shell : it much resembles C. con- 
cinnus (M. C. 302), but it has a shorter spire, finer striae, 
and less ornament. 
These four species of Conus are all from Bracklesham 
Bay, on the coast of Sussex, where they were collected 
by Mr. Bowerbank. The Corculum and velatus are very 
rare, only one specimen of each is known. The other two 
are among the many instances of species occurring at Brack- 
lesham which are perfectly identical with those of the Paris 
Basin ; while nearly all the shells of the clay of London 
and Barton, although similar, are distinguishable from the 
French ones. The discovery of this fact has rewarded the 
incessant labours of Messrs. Bowerbank and Edwards, 
whose assistance I beg to acknowledge with gratitude.
