1842 ; and in January, 1813, by myself in sand from Cruden 

 Bay, sent by Mr. Alexander Murray. 



Turbo punctura. Mont. Test. Brit. 320. PI. 12. f. 5. 



15. Rissoa rubra. Red Rissoa. 

 Shell ovato-conical, rather thin, pellucid, with the 

 spire short, the turns five or six, smooth, little convex, 

 the suture distinct, the last turn well rounded. Rube?; 

 red. 



Shell ovate, with the spire shorter than the last turn, rather 

 thin, somewhat pellucid, of six little convex, smooth or faintly 

 transversely striate volutions, well separated by the narrow 

 but distinctly impressed suture, the last turn well rounded or 

 rather ventricose ; the aperture rather more than a third of 

 the whole length, ovate, acute behind, with the peristome com- 

 plete, the outer lip thin, the inner slightly reflected on the 

 columella, and leaving a slight umbilical groove ; the colour 

 varying from reddish-brown to reddish-yellow, or white. 

 Length a twelfth and a-half, breadth half the length. 



Found by me in shell sand, sent from the Buchan coast, by 

 Mr. Alexander Murray, in November, 1842. 



This species is somewhat allied to Rissoae ulvse and muria- 

 tica, from which it is distinguished by being shorter, ovate, 

 with the last turn quite rounded.
