TURBO. Soe 
Gurbho warnrworatius. 
Owing to the shallowness of the drawers in the Linnean 
cabinet, the great shell (T’urbo marmoratus, Reeve, Conch. Icon. 
Tur. pl. 1, f. 2) marked for this species in the collection was 
not placed there with the rest of the T'wrbines, but was found 
apart. Thanks to the details of the ‘Museum Ulrice,’ and the 
figures of Seba, Gualtier, Rumphius and Klein, the species was 
easly recognised as the Turbo marmoratus represented by 
Chemnitz (vol. v. pl. 179, f. 1775, 1776). The cited engraving 
of Regenfuss has also been ascribed to this species by Lamarck 
and others; it represents an allied shell, which Deshayes has 
separated by the name of 7’. Regenfussit. In his interleaved 
copy of the tenth edition of the ‘Systema’ our author has thus 
written : “‘ Magna, ponderosa, virens, ventre obsolete tricarinato- 
nodoso. Intus argentea, postice diducta in labrellum concavum. 
Operculum convexum, lve, album, testace(um).” 
GCurbo Sarmaticus. 
Our author did not possess this species, and has not added 
anything to his very brief account of it. A meagre description 
(of two lines), and the solitary reference to Argenyille (plate 11, 
f. B) were the sources from whence Chemnitz has effected his 
identification of the Linnean species (Conch. Cab. vol. v. pl. 
179, f. 1777, 1778, and pl. 180, f. 1781). It is the Turbo 
Sarmaticus of almost all writers upon conchology. 
Turbo oleavins. 
There is no manuscript addition to the published account 
of this shell, which is not indicated as having been in our 
author’s possession. It could not be expected that, as from 
his own confession the species was only known to him in an 
uncoated condition, the synonymy would be very accurate.
