GASTEROPODA. 81 



My cabinet contains but four specimens of this species, and those are not in very 

 good condition ; the identification, therefore, must be considered doubtful. The 

 volutions project a little at the lower part, which give them a conoidal form : Montague 

 says, " terminating in a fine point :" my specimens have the apex very obtuse, so have 

 all the species of this genus.

But one specimen of this shell has come into my possession ; it appears to be identical 

 with the recent British species. The costse are not quite vertical, but have a little 

 inclination,' so that the lower part inclines to the left of a perpendicular line, but they 

 do not curve. Montague states this species to be covered, in a recent state, with a 

 brown epidermis. It is said by Dr. Fleming (British Animals, p. 303) to be a deep- 

 water shell.

 smooth within.

This species is not rare. In some characters it resembles Turbo gracilis, Broc. 

 (Tab. VI, fig. 6), but that shell has the ribs more vertical, and has not the connecting 

 link between them. Our shell appears as if its ribs were bound together by something 

 passing through them, which gives a sort of knob between each rib, with a depression
