TURBINELLA. 
Puate III. 
Species 12. (Mus. Belcher.) 
TURBINELLA LANCEOLATA. Turd. testé lanceolato-fusi- 
formi, hexagonali, levigatd, basem versus rude liraté ; 
anfractibus tuberculis grandibus costeformibus continuis 
undique longitudinaliter decussatis ; aperture fauce 
tenuistriatd ; luteo-fuscescente, aperturd vivide vio- 
laced. 
THE LANCEOLATE TURBINELLA. Shell lanceolately fusi- 
form, hexagonal, smooth, rudely ridged towards the 
base; whorls longitudinally crossed with large con- 
tinuous rib-like tubercles; interior of the aperture 
finely striated ; yellowish brown, aperture deep violet. 
Hab. Philippine Islands (on the sands); Cuming, Belcher. 
This interesting species is allied to the 7. nodata, but 
quite distinct ; it is of a more sharply lanceolate growth, 
and the rib-like tubercles follow continuously one under 
the other, imparting an hexagonal form to the shell, whilst 
the whorls are less rounded. The deep violet colouring 
of the aperture is also characteristic; in the 7. nodata it 
is constantly of a pinker hue. 
Species 13. (Mus. Cuming.) 
TURBINELLA LyRaTa. Turd. testdé subelongato-fusiformi, 
liris subtilibus elevatis nitidé cingulatd, anfractibus 
superne concavis, infra concentricé tuberculato-costatis ; 
rufo-fusci. 
THE HARP-STRUNG TURBINELLA. Shell somewhat elon- 
gately fusiform, neatly encircled with fine elevated 
ridges, whorls concave round the upper part, con- 
centrically tubercularly ribbed beneath; rufous brown. 
Hab. Philippine Islands (on the sands); Cuming, Belcher. 
A well-defined species, of a characteristic rufous-brown 
colour, encircled throughout with fine cords. 
Species 14. (Mus. Cuming.) 
TURBINELLA CARINIFERA. Turd. testa fusiformi, anfrac- 
tibus longitudinaliter laticostatis, superné angulato- 
declivibus, medio tuberculis carinatis compressis biseria- 
tim cingulatis ; infra contractis et spiraliter liratis ; 
aurantio-fuscd. 
THE KEELED TURBINELLA, Shell fusiform, whorls Jon- 
gitudinally broadly ribbed, angularly slanting round 
the upper part, encircled in the middle with two 
rows of compressed keeled tubercles, contracted and 
spirally ridged beneath; orange-brown.

Hab. ? 
Easily recognised by its two rows of prominent com- 
pressly keeled tubercles. 
The shell which M. Deshayes quotes as a synonyme of 
of this, under the name Z. recurvirostra, Schubert and 
Wagner, is a distinct species, for which see the preceding 
plate, Fig. 10. 
Species 15. (Mus. Cuming.) 
TURBINELLA pyrum. Turb. testd superné ventricoso- 
clavatd, pyriformi, spird depresso-convexd, apice papil- 
lari, elevato, anfractibus superné rotundatis, levibus, 
interdum nodis parvis uniseriatim cingulatis ; colu- 
melle plicis fortibus ; albido-fulvd, maculis spadiceis 
rotundis aspersd, epidermide crassé fibrosd induta ; 
apertura interdum aurantio-rufescente. 
THE PEAR TURBINELLA. Shell ventricosely club-shaped, 
pyriform, spire depressly convex, apex papillary, 
elevated; whorls rounded at the upper part, smooth, 
sometimes encircled with a row of small nodules; 
plaits of the columella strong; whitish or fulvous, 
sprinkled with round brown-bay spots, and covered 
by a thick fibrous epidermis; aperture sometimes 
orange-red. 
Lamarck, Anim. s. vert. (Deshayes’ edit.) vol. ix. p. 378. 
Voluta pyrum, Linneeus. 
Hab. Ceylon. 
This. well-known species, the next allied in character to 
T. rapa, may be readily distinguished from it by its 
less swolled growth, and by the brown-spotted style of 
colouring, which is most conspicuous in young specimens. 
Species 16. (Mus. Cuming.) 
TURBINELLA APLUSTRE. Turd. testé ovato-fusiformi, 
crassi, solidé ; anfractibus superné concavo-angulatis 
ad angulum subcarinatis et compresso-tuberculatis, colu- 
melle plicis duabus, raro pluribus, tenuibus subobso- 
letis ; apertura liris verrucisque exsculptd ; alba, fusco
