acuminata, anfractibus longitudinaliter plicato-costatis, 
superné angulatis, medio bicarinatis, carinis compresso- 
spinosis, anfractiis ultimi parte inferiore basin versus

Buccinum spinosum, Martyn. 
Murex colombarium, Chemnitz. 
Turbinella fasciata, Sowerby. 
Hab. Friendly Islands; Martyn. 
This interesting species approximates somewhat in 
character to the 7’. carinifera, but may be readily distin- 
guished by its colours and more ovate prickly sculpture. 
Species 44. (Mus. Cuming.) 
TURBINELLA SPADICEA. Turb. testd fusiformi, spird 
acuminata, anfractibus rotundatis, longitudinaliter 
laticostatis, transversim liratis, interstitiis inciso-stria- 
tis ; spadiced, apertura albidd. 
THE BAY-COLOURED TURBINELLA. Shell fusiform, spire 
acuminated, whorls rounded, longitudinally broadly 
ribbed, transversely ridged, interstices indently 
striated; bay-coloured, aperture whitish. 
Hab. ? 
Regularly corded throughout, the interstices being 
deeply striated, whilst the shell is of a peculiar colour. 
Species 45, (Fig. a, Mus. Taylor. Fig. 4, Mus. Cuming.) 
TURBINELLA NASSATULA. Turd. testéi ovato-oblongd, spird 
subturritd, anfractibus superné declivibus, longitudina- 
liter costatis, transversim acute liratis, liras interstitios 
super prominentibus, costas super compresso-mucro- 
natis; albidé aut spadiceo-lutescente, costarum inter- 
stitiis saturatioribus, interdum rufo-fuscis, apice rosacea, 
apertura vivide violaced. 
THE FINE-NET TURBINELLA. Shell ovately oblong, spire 
somewhat turreted, whorls slanting round the upper 
part, longitudinally ribbed, transversely sharply 
ridged, ridges prominent across the interstices, com- 
pressly pointed upon the ribs ; white or fawn yellow, 
deeper and sometimes reddish brown in the inter- 
stices between the ribs, apex pink, aperture deep 
violet.

Hab. Philippine Islands; Cuming. 
It will be seen by the accompanying figures that this 
beautiful species is somewhat variable in colour and even 
in sculpture, but the differences are trifling. 
Species 46. (Mus. Cuming.) 
TURBINELLA CrrRamica. Turb. testé oblongo-ovatd, 
utringue attenuata, anfractibus transversim sulcatis et 
striatis, superné concavis, infra tuberculis longis erectis 
triseriatim armatis, serid unicd prope basin ; columella 
quinque-plicatd, plicis duabus interstitialibus parvis ; 
lutescente-albé, fusco-nigro tincta et fasciaté. 
THE Ceram TURBINELLA. Shell oblong-ovate, attenuated 
at both ends, whorls transversely grooved and striated, 
concave round the upper part, armed with three rows 
of long erect tubercles beneath, with a single row 
near the base ; columella five-plaited, two interstitial 
plaits small; yellowish white, stained and banded 
with brown-black. 
Lamarck, Anim.sans vert. (Deshayes’ edit.) vol. ix. p.381. 
Voluta Ceramica, Linneus. 
Hab. Island of Ticao, Philippines; Cuming. 
This well-known species is extremely constant in its 
general character; the only variation of growth worth 
noticing is that the tubercles, instead of being sharp and 
erect in all specimens are sometimes short and stunted. 
Species 47. (Mus. Cuming.) 
TURBINELLA ACUMINATA. Turd. testd fusiformi, crassius- 
culd, anfractibus liris conspicuis undique regulariter 
August, 1847.
