TURBO. 831 



Shell about three, or sometimes four and a half inches long, 

 and the length rather exceeds the breadth ; it has four or 

 five well defined whirls, of which the body-whirl has three 

 transverse tuberculated belts, and of these the uppermost is 

 the strongest ; it is of a dull green colour with spotted 

 brown and white bands, and the inside is pearly. Favanne 

 says it only differs in age from T. Olearius.

 Shell three or four inches long, and the length rather exceeds 

 the breadth ; it has four or five ventricose whirls, and several 

 rows of nodules, of which the uppermost on the body-whirl 

 are largest; it is said to be black coated with yellowish 

 orange, and the inside is silvery ; but it is so often played 

 tricks with by the dealers, that it is difficult to know which 

 is its natural appearance. The operculum is granulated. 



OLEARIUS. 36. Shell ponderous, ventricose, and 

 angulated with three somewhat nodulous 

 keels on the body-whirl.
