& aux Indes orientales.” The first locality is 
undoubtedly in error. lie de France was an 
eighteenth-century French name for Mauri-

Hwass’s specimens.

abundant species of Conus on Hawaiian coral 
reef platforms, the other being C flavidus.

DESCRIPTION: Shell large; body whorl ob- 
soletely striate, its maximum diameter slightly 
anterior of the shoulder; aperture rather nar- 
row, with almost parallel margins. Shoulder 
strongly coronate; spire depressed, coronate, 
striate. Large triangular pale flesh-colored 
markings separated by dark brown and 
crowded in two areas form broad irregular 
bands on the body whorl in specimens from 
the Hawaiian Islands, the anterior band being 
narrower. Aperture white or pale pink. Peri- 
ostracum thin, yellow, translucent. In life, 
foot tan, siphon banded proximally from the 
tip with red, white, and black bands. 
length: Usually to 100 mm. A specimen 
from Oahu in the B. P. Bishop Museum 
measures 139 mm. 
TYPE locality: Asia. 
REMARKS: Hawaiian representatives differ 
from typical C. marmoreus, in which the white 
markings are larger and less crowded and do 
not form bands. In some localities, such as 
New Caledonia (Crosse and Marie, 1874),
