1 . Turbdnilla reticuldta. Reticulated Turbonilla. 



Shell turrite, acuminate, with about twelve convex 

 reticulated turns ; aperture subovate, subangulate an- 

 teriorly, inner lip straight, reflexed, outer lip crenulated 

 by the spiral grooves. Reticutttus, marked like net-work. 



The only specimen obtained is scarcely half-grown, and has 

 but eight volutions, which are rounded, and marked with four 

 strong spiral ridges, crossed by transverse grooves ; the suture 

 distinct; the last turn proportionally large, without strias on 

 its anterior part, the spire tapering to a very fine point ; the 

 aperture subovate, with the inner lip nearly straight, a little 

 reflexed, and leaving exposed a small umbilicus, the outer lip 

 thin, somewhat crenated by the spiral grooves, and at its junc- 

 tion with the inner forming a rounded angle, or slight canal ; 

 the colour reddish-brown, becoming paler toward the apex. 

 Length two- twelfths of an inch, breadth three-fourths of a 

 twelfth ; but it attains the length of half an inch or more. 



Found by me among shell sand from Ugie-mouth, sent by 

 Mr. Alexander Murray, in December, 1842.
