Included in Hed ley's list are two species whose names need emendation: 
Conus cinctus Swainson (Zool. Ulus., ser. i, pi. 110, July 1822) is invalid, 
through prior usage by Base 1801 (Buff on, ed. Deterville, Moll, v, p. 140) and 
Borson 1820 (Mem. R, Ace. Sei. Torino, xxv, p. 192), and is here renamed 
Conus circurnactus Horn. nov. The other one is Conus deshay esti Reeve (Prow 
Zool. Sow (Lond.) 1843, p. 168, June 1844), which is later than the proposition of 
the same name by Bellardi and Miehelotti (Mem. R. Ace. Sei, Torino, ser. 2, 
vol. iii, p. 153, 1841), and has been corrected to Conus cuvieri by Crosse in a 
tract “Obs. genre Conus 12, ” which was issued in the Rev. Zool. 1858, but thus 
appears in Tryon (Man. Conch., vol. vi, pp. 87, 103, 1884). 
Conus planorbis Born. 
This well-known species has not hitherto been recorded from Queensland 
and Australia, and the original reference reads C onus planorbis Born, Index 
Mus., Vindob., p. 147, 1778, but this needs rectification. Though this index has 
a title-page dated 1778, this appears to have been prepared and never altered 
when the work was not concluded in time. The folio work known as the Mus, 
Cues. Vindob.” is entitled 1780, and is usually quoted as later than the index. 
Examination shows that they were simultaneously prepared as each quotes 
the other; and in the “Explicatio eitationum abbreviatum” given in the index 
appears 4 'Mus. Caes. Vindob. . . . Wien 1779, fol.” Throughout the 
index the fourth volume of Martini’s "Konch. Kab.” is correctly cited, but 
that volume was not published until 1780, which proves conclusively that the 
index did not appear before that year. In view of this it would be best to 'quote 
the folio work, as in that place illustrations accompany the descriptions. 
Conus litteratus L. v. millepunctatus Lamk. 
Thus Hedley wrote in the Queensland list, but many workers have allowed 
the species as distinct. When Lamarck (Hist. Anim. s. Vert., vii, 461, 1822)
