TURBINELLA PrcTa. Turd. testa ovato-fusiformi, medio 
ventricosd, anfractibus transversim sulcatis, longitu- 
dinaliter obtuse plicato-costatis, superné concavis, deinde

THE PAINTED TURBINELLA. Shell ovately fusiform, 
ventricose in the middle, whorls transversely grooved, 
longitudinally obtusely plicately ribbed, concave round 
the upper part, then encircled with rows of compressed 
tubercles of which the uppermost are the largest ; 
interior of the aperture striated; white, very beau- 
tifully painted with scarlet tinged and yellow lines, 
columella brownish-pink. 
Hab. Feejee Islands; Belcher. 
An extremely prettily painted species collected by Sir 
Edward Belcher, at the above-named group of Islands. 
Mr. Cuming possesses equally characteristic specimens 
from other sources. 
Species 20. (Mus. Cuming.) 
TURBINELLA Barcuayt. Turd. testa fusiformi, anfractibus 
liris acutis subdistantibus spiraliter cingulatis, superné 
concavis, deinde ventricosis et longitudinaliter plicato- 
costatis, costis latissimis, ad angulum compresso-tuber- 
culatis ; aperture fauce striaté ; albd, aurantio-rufo 
fasciaté et saturatioré lineata. 
Barcuay’s TURBINELLA. Shell fusiform, whorls spirally 
encircled with sharp rather distant ridges, concave 
round the upper part, then ventricose and longitu- 
dinally plicately ribbed, ribs very broad, compressly 
tubercled at the angle; interior of the aperture 
striated; white, banded with pale orange-red and 
lineated here and there with the same colour of a 
darker tint. 
Hab. (sland of Mauritius; Barclay. 
A very distinct and interesting new species of Turbinella, 
received by Mr. Cuming from Sir David Barelay, a gentle- 
man much attached to Natural History, and zealous 
collector of shells, resident at the Island of Mauritius, in 
honour of whom I have the pleasure of naming it. 
It is a white shell, encircled with broad pale rufous- 
orange bands and interrupted reddish lines, ventricose in 
the middle, broadly tubercularly ribbed and sharply spirally 
ridged throughout. 
Species 21. (Mus, Belcher.) 
TURBINELLA Tuersites. Turd. testd fusiformi, basi 
gracili, elongatd, anfractibus transversim subtilissime 
et creberrimé corrugato-striatis, turberculis promi- 
nentibus peculiariter elongatis concentricé armatis ; 
eburned, epidermide tenui flavicante indutd. 
THE HUMPED TURBINELLA. Shell fusiform, slender and 
elongated at the base, whorls transversely very finely 
and closely striated in a wrinkled manner, concen- 
trically armed with prominent peculiarly elongated 
tubercles ; ivory-white, covered with a thin yellowish 
epidermis. 
Hab. China; Belcher. 
This remarkable shell collected by Captain Sir Edward 
Belcher at the above-named locality, is in an immature 
state of growth and belongs probably to a species of larger 
size. In its present elongated form it partakes rather of 
the character of Fasciolaria. The most striking feature 
of the species consists in the whorls being furnished at 
intervals by very peculiarly elongated bean-shaped tuber- 
cles, arranged concentrically and extremely prominent 
throughout. 
Species 22. (Mus. Cuming.) 
TURBINELLA BetcuErt. Turd. testa fusiformi, spira 
subturritd, anfractibus transversim subtiliter striatis, 
superneé concavis, medio ventricosis, serie duplici tuber- 
culorum, deinde serie unicd nodulorum cinctis ; aperture 
fauce striatd ; albd, maculis flammisque nigris conspicue 
picté, epidermide luted induta. : 
BrtcueEr’s TURBINELLA. Shell fusiform, spire somewhat 
turreted, whorls transversely finely striated, concave 
round the upper part, ventricose in the middle, en- 
circled with a duplicate series of tubercles, then with 
a row of nodules; interior of the aperture striated ; 
white, conspicuously painted with black flames and 
blotches, covered with a yellow epidermis.
