upwards around the upper part of the volution— a character I do not observe in my 

 numerous specimens of that species, and the costae are fewer in number (generally 

 twelve), and thicker. 



A Tertiary fossil, found in the beds of the Tagus, and recently described by 

 Mr. Smith (in the Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society,) under the name of 

 Sc. tenera, is perhaps the same species, its distinguishing character being a small 

 mucronation at the upper part of each rib.

An abundant shell in the Coralline, but very rare in the Red Crag. It difi'ers from 

 Turbo pseudo scalaris, Brocchi (t. 7, f. 1), which has a prominent line upon the base of 

 the volution, though M. Philippi has given this shell as a synonyme to his S. pseudo 

 scalaris; the ribs also are fewer in number, and the volutions more disjoined. The 

 lamellae form a continuous rib up the spire, in an oblique or slightly spiral direction, 

 and are more especially reflected in the middle of the outer lip.

Shell turriculate, elongate, tapering, and smooth; whorls 10 — 11, rounded or

This species is not so abundant as S.foliacea, from which it differs in being more 

 elongate, and in tapering gradually, with less fimbriated foliations. The volutions are 

 perfectly smooth, differing in that respect from a recent species in ray possession, 

 which resembles it in all other respects, but that it is striated ; the Crag shell does not
