230 TURBO. 



A handsome new species (specimen unique), met with acci- 

 dentally without any information as to habitat. It is a 

 true Turbo, scarcely a Senectus, although spirally ribbed. 

 In form it is about intermediate between T. Spenglerianus 

 and T. circularis. It has the shining character of the former ; 

 the whorls are surmounted by a concavely flattened ledge ; 

 the ribs are narrow and close, excepting on the base, which is 

 nearly smooth.
