TURBINELLA.—Ptrate II. 
Vergn. Part VI. pl. 15. f.5, being included in Lamarck’s 
synonymy of that species. Though next allied to the 
T. polygona in form, it is uniformly distinct from it, and 
does not approximate to its varieties, three of which are 
represented in the preceding plate. 
Species 10. (Mus. Cuming.) 
TURBINELLA RECURVIROSTRA. Turd. testd fusiformi, spird 
turritd, basi profundée umbilicatd et leviter recurvi, 
anfractibus transversim rude costatis, medio fortiter 
plicato-tuberculatis, supra declivibus, levigatis ; pallidé 
aurantio-spadiced, costarum interstitiis castaneo tinctis 
et maculatis, apertura luteo-aurantia. 
THE RECURVED BEAK 'TURBINELLA. Shell fusiform, 
spire turreted, deeply wmbilicated and slightly recurved 
at the base; whorls transversely rudely ribbed, 
strongly plicately tubercled in the middle, slanting 
and smooth above; pale orange-bay, interstices be- 
‘tween the ribs stained and spotted with chesnut- 
brown, aperture orange-yellow.

pl. 227. f. 4021. a, 4. 
Hab. Matnog, Island of Luzon, Philippines (in deep 
water); Cuming. 
M. Deshayes quotes this species amongst the synomymes 
of 7. carinifera but it is quite distinct ; I have seen several 
. specimens all equally characteristic. 
Species 11. (Mus. Cuming.) 
TURBINELLA GLOBULUS. Turd. testd globosd, ventricosd, 
spird brevi, suturis subimpressis ; anfractibus oblique 
concentrice plicato-costatis, superné concavis, deinde 
costis squamatis cingulatis, costarum interstitiis liris 
subtilibus minute squamatis exsculptis ; ferrugineo-fuscd, 
costis transversis albidis, apertura carneo-rosed. 
THE GLOBULAR TURBINELLA. Shell globose, ventricose, 
spire short, sutures somewhat impressed; whorls 
obliquely concentrically plicately ribbed, concave 
round the upper part, then encircled with squamate 
ribs, the interstices being sculptured with fine minutely 
squamate ridges; rusty-brown, transverse ribs whitish, 
aperture flesh-pink. 
Hab. Africa. 
A peculiar and well known species, though not one of 
very common occurrence.
