TURBINELLA OCELLATA. Turd. testd ovatd, spird acutd, 
anfractibus medio subventricosis, supra angulatis, trans- 
versim striatis et subtiliter liratis, ad angulum obtuse 
nodosis ; nigricante, albo undique ocellatd, apertura

THE OCELLATED TURBINELLA. Shell ovate, spire sharp,

Hab. ——? 
The white parts of the shell are nodulous or raised and 
have an enamel-like appearence. 
Species 39. (Mus. Hanley.) 
TURBINELLA TRISERIALIS. Turd. testé subfusiformi ovata, 
crassiusculd, basi subcontractd, anfractibus superneé 
concavo-angulatis, transversim subtiliter striatis, tri- 
seriatim fortiter nodosis ; castaneo-fuscd, nodis albis. 
THE TRISERIAL TURBINELLA. Shell somewhat fusiformly 
ovate, rather thick, shghtly contracted at the base, 
whorls concavely angulated round the upper part, 
transversely finely striated, encircled with three rows 
of strong nodules; chesnut-brown, nodules white.

Hab. ——? 
This is a very characteristic species and apparently one 
of rare occurrence; the specimen here figured from Mr. 
Hanley’s collection being the only one I remember to have 
seen. It has somewhat the general form of Fusus raphanus, 
but is of much more solid structure. 
Species 40. (Mus. Hanley.) 
TURBINELLA CoRNIGERA. Turd. testé ovato-turbinatd, 
subtrigond, spird brevi ; anfractibus transversim striatis 
et rude obtuse liratis, tuberculis fortibus superné et 
inferné bi- tri-seriatim cingulatis, quorum superioribus 
elongatis, erecto-curvatis ; columella quinqueplicatd, 
plicis duabus intermediis parvis ; albidd et cerulescente- 
albé, castaneo-nigricante tincté et fasciatd, apertura 
pallidé aurantio-lutescente. 
THE HORNED TuRBINELLA. Shell ovately turbinated, 
somewhat triangular, spire short ; whorls transversely 
striated and rudely obtusely ridged, encircled round 
the upper and lower parts, with two or three rows of 
strong tubercles, of which the upper are elongated 
and erectly recurved ; columella five-plaited, two in- 
termediate plaits small; whitish and blueish-white, 
stained and banded with chesnut-black, aperture pale 
orange-vellow.

Voluta turbinella, Linneus. 
Testa juvenis. Turbinella variolaris, Lamarck. 
Hab. Moluccas, &e. 
The tubercles of this species in an immature stage of 
their developement, have a rounded wart-like appearance, 
in which state it is the 7. variolaris, Lamarck. 
Species 40. (Mus. Cuming.) 
TURBINELLA TECTUM. urd. testd ovaté, medio angulatd, 
utrinque attenuata, basi umbilicaté ; anfractibus trans- 
versim undique profundée excavato-sulcatis, medio ad 
angulum nodoso-tuberculatis ; columella fortiter uni- 
plicatd, apertura labrum versus conspicue sulcatd ; pur- 
pureo-fusca vel rufescente-lacted. 
THE GUTTERED-ROOF TURBINELLA. Shell ovate, angu- 
lated in the middle, attenuated at both ends, umbi- 
licated at the base; whorls transversely deeply 
excavately grooved throughout, nodosely tubercled at 
the angle; columella strongly one-plaited, aperture 
conspicuously grooved towards the lip, purple-brown 
or orange-cream colour. 
Buccinum tectum, Gray, Wood Index Test. Supp. 
Pyrula tectum, Kiener. 
Hab. Bay of Panama (in ten fathoms, sandy mud); Cuming. 
This species, it will be observed, is about intermediate 
in its characters between Pyrula and Turbinella; I think, 
however, it should be referred to the latter genus on 
account of the strong winding plait upon the columella, 
It exhibits two very distinct varieties in colour, one a 
deep purple or chocolate-brown, the other a clear warm 
cream-colour.
