CONUS MILNEEDWARDSI IS ALSO LIVING IN THE RED SEA

It is hardly known to shell collectors in Israel th 
sought after Conus milneedwardsi Jousseaume, Ae erg rae ye le in 
the Red Sea. Yet it has been reported et least twice from the 
southern part of the Erythraean fauna province (Anonymous, 1971 and 
Mienis, 1972). Both records were based on two specimens present in 
the collection of our member Dov Peled, Haifa, who received them in 
eeniga ene eer encrien The two specimens had been 
caught in fishing nets at a depth of about 20 f - 
porhood of Ras Andade, Died cake | ethene hie eee 
The largest and finest specimen (most probably the one figured in 
Hawaiian Shell News) was subsequently sold to a shell dealer in 
America. The second specimen was rather badly preserved and is, as 
far as I know, still in the Peled collection. Both specimens con- 
stitute the first records of this rare species from the Red Sea. 
Since Jousseaume's type specimen of his Conus milneedwardsi came- 
from Aden, its occurrence in the southern Red Sea could have been 
expected. 
I should be very pleased to hear of any additional find of the 
Glory-of-India Conus milneedwardsi in the Red Sea. 
I thank Mr. Dov Peled for supplying me with data.
