PLATE CLIX. 



TURBO RETICULATUS. 



RETICULATED TURBO^ 



GENERIC CHARACTER. 



Animal Limax. Univalve, spiral, or of a taper form. Aperture 

 somewhat compressed, orbicular, entire. 



SPECIFIC CHARACTER. 



Shell tapering, reticulated with granules, testaceous, whorl reversed ' 

 aperture straitened. 



Turbo reticulatus; testa turrita reticulata granulata testacea, 

 anfractibus coarctata. 



This is a remarkably neat, or rather elegant shell, and equally 

 distinguished for its rarity. It was found in the sands on the coast 

 of Cornwall, by Miss Pocock, to whose polite attention we are ex- 

 clusively indebted for the specimen now figured. 



That this small species of Turbo is undescribed either as a British 

 or a foreign shell, we have little reason to dispute, unless the follow- 

 ing, described by Mr. Walker, should prove to be the same : " Turbo, 

 Turritus perversus novem anfractibus punctatis apertura coarctata ; 

 the reversed taper I'urbo of nine dotted whorls and straitened aperture.
