On the Anatomy of Conus tulipa, Linn., and Conus textile, Linn

Abstract

SINCE 1895, few workers on the anatomy of mollusca have devoted their attention to the genus Conus. In that year Dr. Bergh (3) published an extensive memoir on a large number of species in this genus, and his work may be considered as the most complete, and embracing the greatest number of. species examined, though his description of each species was not exhaustive. Troschel (20) devoted most of his attention to the radulae of the different genera and species of which his excellent work is composed, and although he gives a certain number of figures with descriptions of various anatomical points, these latter are for the most part of rather a crude and diagrammatic kind.
