PLATE CLXXVIII. 



There is some reason for believing this to be the Turbo Trifasciatus 

 of Adams's description of minute British Shells, discovered on the 

 coast of Teaby, South Wales, which is inserted in the fifth volume 

 of the Transactions of the Linnaean Society. The account he gives 

 does not exactly agree with our Shell ; he speaks of only two red 

 bands on the first spire, instead of three ; and the single spiral line 

 arising from the posterior band, terminates in his Shell after encircling 

 the second volution, whereas, in all our specimens this line is continued 

 on every wreath to the apex. Should his T. trifasciatus be intended 

 for our Shell, the outline also is very badly expressed.— The 

 smallest figure in the annexed plate fhews the natural fize of this 

 {hell.
