Abstract

A catalog of the cone snail specimens housed in the Natural History Museum of the Thailand National Science Museum (THNHM) is presented. A total of 310 specimens of 61 species in two genera are deposited in THNHM. Most of the specimens were collected from Thailand especially from the east and the south of the country since 1962. The specimens donated by Mr. Aphipong Chainam, former Thai ambassador to the United States, were also included in the catalog.
