Dear Paolo,
You can find the answer in Dance (1986): A history of shell collecting, p.
234:
Bruguiere, J.G., 1792. Encyclopedie methodique, Histoire naturelle des Vers,
Vol. 1 [including Conus which Bruguiere acknowledges to be the work of
Hwass], i.e. Hwass was responsible for the chapter on Conus in the book
otherwise written by Bruguiere.
Best regards,
Henk K. Mienis
