Reeve, L. A.
1848-1849
Monograph of the genus <i>Conus</i>. Supplementary plates 1-9 and unpaginated text. In: <i>Conchologia Iconica</i> [supplement to vol. 1]. L. Reeve & Co., London. [stated dates: suppl. pl. 1, February 1848; suppl. pl. 2-3, April 1848; suppl. pl. 4-9, June 1849; see notes in Petit R.E. 2007]
Publication
Conus Supplementary Plates 1–9 are not included by month and year as it has not been determined how or when they were issued. There are seven pages of text dated June 1849. The explanation pages for the 9 plates are variously dated from February 1848 to June 1849. A list printed in 1854, not giving the number of plates in each monograph, prices the Conus monograph at £3. An 1863 price list shows the Conus monograph with 47 plates and a price of £ 3 11s., reflecting the inclusion of the Supplementary Plates in the price but without showing a corrected number of plates. This is the only monograph on the 1863 list with a price different from the 1854 list. This indicates that at some time between 1854 and 1863 the Conus Supplement came to be treated as part of the monograph and not as a separate item although it never appeared on any list as such. An 1867 list shows the total number of Conus plates as 56 while retaining the £3 11s. price, making it even more evident that the earlier lists just did not have the number of plates emended. According to Hanna & Strong (1949: 263) the Conus Supplement was issued without a title page but with seven pages of comments and corrections in addition to the plate explanations. Those authors correctly state that copies of the work have been seen from which the Supplement is missing as it is lacking in many supposedly complete volumes. A set of Volumes 1–6 at hand that is complete in every other respect lacks these Supplements. Volume 6 was completed in March 1851 so why this partial set should be lacking the Conus Supplement, as well as the Murex Supplement, is not known. These Supplementary plates were not distributed in the normal manner. (Petit R.E., 2007, Zootaxa 1648
