The Atoll of Funafuti, Ellice group : its zoology, botany, ethnology and general structure based on collections made by Charles Hedley of the Australian Museum, Sydney, N.S.W.

Conus vexillum, Gmelin

Conus vexillum, Gmelin.

Tryon, loc. cit., p. 39, pl. xi., figs. 12a, 13, 14; Garrett, loc. cit., pp. 356, 365.

One imperfect shell was purchased from a native at Funafuti.

Garrett found this in the Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Gilberts, Cook's, Paumotus, and Hawaii Groups. Crosse and Marie mention this from New Caledonia, Ile Art, and Lifu; Tryon from Samoa; and there is a specimen in this Museum from Torres Straits. I have also collected it at Ballina, N.S. Wales.
