Cassis cornuta, Linne

Cassis cornuta, Linne.

Tryon, loc. cit, p. 270, pl. i., figs. 45, 46; pl. ii., fig. 49.

I collected no examples of this personally, but at Funafuti I remarked it in use as shell trumpets, and at Nukulailai I purchased specimens. There the natives called it "pou," and told me it was not rare. New Caledonian examples are contained in this Museum.
