T. of a long taper n]ape, with twelve or fourteen vo- 

 litions, rather raifed, and feparated by a deep depreffion ; 

 wrought with obfolete fpiral ftriae, with two ftrong, ele- 

 vated ridges in the middle of each volution : colour white, 

 orpurplifh, marbled and variegated with chefnut, gene- 

 rally in longitudinal, undulated flreaks ; (3:^^:>c (harp point- 

 ed : aperture orbicular. Length two inches and a half 5 

 breadth at the bafe, five-eighths of an inch. 



This is a much flronger fliell than the preceding fpe- 

 cies, and is at once diflinguifhed by the two remarkable, 

 elevated ridges. Da Costa received it from the coafl 

 Q^ LincolnJJiire, and Lancajhire, and fufpedled it to be the 

 T. exoletus o^ LitiN JEUS. Martini's figure above quo- 

 ted, expreffes the fhell pretty well, and which Gmelin 

 has referred to for the T. variegatus. Doctor Turtom 

 has confidered it the exoletus by his quotations. 



This is certainly a very rare fpecies on the Englijlt coafl. 



We have received it from Sandxoich in Kent. 



This and the preceding fpecies are the two mofl per- 

 fq6lly turrited fhells of the larger fpecies found in Eng- 

 land ;
