TURBO. 821 



Mr. Montagu says, that upon a cursory view this shell might 

 be mistaken for T. tenebrosiis, being nearly of the same size 

 and colour, but the shape is more conical and the aperture 

 quite different. 



FULGIDUS. 14. Shell sub-conical, minute, smootb, 

 with three whirls, of which the body-whirl 

 is very large, and the apex small and obtuse.

 Shell about one-sixth of an inch long, and rather more than 

 half as broad, white, solid, with four whirls well defined by 

 the suture, and strongly marked with decussated striae, 

 which give it an appearance of being punctured all over ; it 

 has four whirls, and Le Soni, which has been quoted by 

 Linnaeus, is said to have eight, so that it may more proba- 

 bly belong to T. Calathiscus. 



CALATHiscus. \Q. Shell sub-conical, with crowded 

 cancellated striae, forming punctures by their 

 interstices, and six whirls.
