and one-third as broad, of an orange colour, with a white 

 border at the suture and round the aperture. 



suLCATUs. 113. Shell ovate, obtuse, umbilicated, 

 obliquely striated, and white; aperture semi- 

 ovate, and the outer lip reflected.

 Lister Conch, t. 588. f.47. 



Inhabits Ceylon, and is a land shell. Bruguiere. 



Shell about an inch long, and rather more than half as broad, 

 with eight whirls, of which the three uppermost form an 

 obtuse summit ; the shell which Lister has figured is de- 

 scribed with two teeth at the aperture, but in other respects 

 it exactly resembles the present species. 



CORNEUS. 114. Shell umbilicated, rounded, and 

 rather acute ; whirls convex, with decussated 

 striae, and the aperture reflected.

 p. 3605.

Linnaeus has only given a reference to his description of the 



Museum of the Queen of Sweden, and the size is no where 



mentioned ; it is said to be of a brown or horn-colour, with 



the inside white, and the umbilicus pervious. 



REFLEXus. Shell umbilicated, convex, and rather 

 prominent ; whirls rounded, and slightly 

 striated, and the aperture reflected. 



Turbo reflexus. Linnesus Syst. Nat. p. 1238. Gmelin, 

 p. 3605.

No reference, nor any addition to the above short character, 

 has been made in the Systema Naturze; and unless some 

 specimen which Linnaeus has named should happen to exist, 

 it must remain very doubtful whether or not T.degans be- 

 longs to this species. 



ELEGANS. 116. Shell ovate, with five ventricose 

 whirls, and strong transverse crossed by fine 

 longitudinal striae.
