1G. Turbo monilis. Beaded Turban. 



Shell oval, whitish, polished, transparent, rather point- 

 ed : spires five, rounded and strongly defined, the top of 

 each quite abrupt and flattened ; the larger volution with 

 a series of raised rounded circular ribs, which gradually 

 grow larger towards the top, the rest with fewer ribs and 

 all of equal size, and each of them with minute longitudinal 

 beaded lines in the interstices : aperture roundish-oval, 

 with a strong broad margin which is beaded at the outer 

 edge, and has a groove round the middle of it ; pillar-lip a 

 little spread, but not perforated behind it : length two- 

 tenths of an inch ; breadth one-tenth. 



This very beautiful shell we described from a perfect 

 specimen in the cabinet of Mrs. C. W. Loscombe, of Ex- 

 mouth, and which was found in the adjacent sands. ?;. m. 



17- Turbo graphicus. Engraved Turban. Fig. 34. 



Brown, Wern. Soc. pi. 24. f. 6. 



Shell strong, conic, pointed, transparent, light horn-co- 

 lor with generally two faint yellowish bands on the larger 

 volution : spires seven, flattish and very moderately raised, 

 finely and regularly striate throughout in a circular direc- 

 tion : aperture somewhat oval, with a thin even margin 

 not reflected on the pillar : length the eighth of an inch j 

 breadth a third of its length. 



Variety. More conic, and of a paler color, with yellowish 

 blotches on the body volution, which is larger in propor- 

 tion to the rest. 



A few specimens of this new and rare shell we found 

 during our short visit to Seafield in Ireland, with Mr. Bul- 

 lock. It has some resemblance to the T. insculptus, but dif- 

 fers in its color and sharp point, in having no duplicating 

 or perforation at the pillar, in being more rounded and 

 deeply divided, and ju not having the small tooth, v.m.
