TURBINELLA.—P tate I. 
Hab. St. Elena, West Columbia (in sandy mud at the 
depth of seven fathoms); Cuming. 
Perfectly distinct from the preceding species, though 
similar in general aspect; the canal is shorter, the ridges, 
with which it is forcibly corded throughout, are equal, 
more distant from each other, and more elevated in the 
interstices between the ribs, which are closer. The shell 
has, moreover, a transparent orange-red hue, which is 
somewhat characteristic. 
Species 3. (Mus. Cuming.) 
TURBINELLA INFUNDIBULUM. Turd, testé elongato-tur- 
ritd, Uiris angustis conspicué elevatis, alternatim majo- 
ribus, undique funiculatd, costis fortibus latiusculis 
longitudinalibus ; aperture fauce liratd, liris subre- 
motis; aurantio-fuscd epidermide castaned indutd, 
apertura lutescente. 
THE FUNNEL TURBINELLA. Shell elongately turreted, 
corded throughout with conspicuously raised narrow 
ridges, alternately larger, with rather broad strong 
longitudinal ribs; interior of the aperture ridged, 
ridges rather distant; orange brown, covered with a 
chesnut epidermis, aperture yellowish.

Murex infundibulum, Gmelin. 
Fusus infundibulum, Enc. Méth. 
Polygona fusiformis, Schumacher. 
Hab. West Indies (in deep water); Goss. 
Distinguished by its straight elongated spindle-like form 
and solid structure, closely corded throughout with fine 
ridges, which are alternately larger. 
Species 4. (Mus. Brit.) 
TURBINELLA scoLymos. Turb. testé solidé, fusiformi, 
medio ventricosd, hexagonali, spird pyramidali-turrita ; 
anfractibus spiraliter sulcatis, medio levibus, superné 
angulatis, ad angulum usque ad apicem fortiter tuber- 
culatis, utroque tuberculo im costam latam solidam 
descendente ; luteo-albidd, columella carneo-rosaceda. 
THE ARTICHOKE TURBINELLA. Shell solid, fusiform, ven- 
tricose in the middle, six-sided, spire pyramidally 
turreted; whorls spirally grooved, smooth in the 
middle, angulated round the upper part, strongly 
tubercled at the angle to the apex, each tubercle 
descending in a broad solid rib; yellowish-white, 
columella flesh-pink.

Murex scolymos, Gmelin. 
Hab. ? 
This is the only species which assumes such a distinct 
hexagonal form; it is found of much larger size than re- 
presented in the accompanying plate,
