TURBO. 
Puate V. 
Species 18. (Mus. Cuming.) 
TurBO TESSELLATUS. Turd. testd ovatd, imperforatd, an- 
fractibus rotundatis, juxta suturas depressis, deinde 
obtusé carinatis, carinis superioribus obscure nodosis ; 
columellé subexcavatd ; virescente-albad, anfractuum 
parte superiore strigis longitudinalibus viridibus, infe- 
riore zonis angustis spiralibus viridi-articulatis nitide 
pictd, intus margaritacea. 
THE TESSELLATED TurBo. Shell ovate, imperforated, 
whorls rounded, depressed next the sutures, then ob- 
tusely keeled, upper keels obscurely nodose ; columella 
slightly excavated ; greenish white, upper part of the 
whorls neatly painted with green longitudinal stripes, 
lower with narrow spiral green-articulated zones, 
interior pearly. 
Kuener, Icon. coq. viv. pl. 9. f. 2. 
Hab. California. 
The difference in the style of painting of the upper and 
lower portions of the whorls presents a singular contrast. 
It proves not to be the Cochlea Moltkiana of Chemnitz, 
which I have identified with another species. 
Species 19. (Mus. Cuming.) 
TurBo verstcotor. Turd. testd orbiculari, subglobosd, 
conspicue umbilicatd, spird brevissimad depressd, anfrac- 
tibus liris parvis retusis undique spiraliter exsculptis ; 
albidd, liris maculis punctisque viridibus nitidé articu- 
lutis, intus argented, operculo testaceo, solido. 
THE VARY-COLOURED TURBO. Shell orbicular, subglobose, 
conspicuously umbilicated, spire short, depressed, 
whorls spirally sculptured throughout with small 
blunt ridges; whitish, neatly articulated with green 
dots and blotches, interior silvered ; operculum testa- 
ceous, solid. 
Hab. Baclayon, Island of Bohol, Philippines ; Cuming. 
Allied to the 7. porphyrites in form, but easily distin- 
guished by its ridged sculpture and articulated painting. 
I separate these species, although the names have been 
treated as synonymes. 
Species 20. (Mus. Cuming.) 
TURBO SPENGLERIANUS. Turd. testd ovatd, imperforatd, 
spird exsertiusculd, anfractibus rotundatis, levibus, re- 
gulariter spiraliter sulcatis, jueta suturas peculiariter 
excavato-depressis ; rosaceo-spadiced, maculis punctisque 
fuscescentibus nebulosd, intus argented. 
SPencLER’s Turso. Shell ovate, imperforated, spire 
rather exserted, whorls rounded, smooth, regularly 
spirally grooved, peculiarly excavately depressed next 
the sutures ; pinkish fawn-colour, clouded with light 
brown dots and blotches, interior silvered. 
GMELIN, Syst. Nat. p. 3595. 
Cochlea Spengleriana, Chemnitz. 
Hab. Gulf of Mexico. 
Easily distinguished by its pinkish fawn colour, and 
peculiar excavated channel round the top of the whorls. 
Species 21. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Turgo sauamicer. Turd. testa globoso-ovatd, imperforatd, 
spire suturis subexcavatis, anfractibus subtumidis, squa- 
mis ubique spiraliter armatis, superioribus et inferiori- 
bus multo majoribus ; viridescente, rufo-fusco punctata 
et variegatad, intus argented ; operculo testaceo, crasso. 
Tur scaty Turso. Shell globosely ovate, imperforated, 
sutures of the spire slightly excavated, whorls rather 
swollen, spirally armed throughout with scales, upper 
and lower scales much the larger; pale green, dotted 
and variegated with red-brown, interior silver ; oper- 
culum testaceous, thick. 
Reeve, Pro. Zool. Soc., 1842. p, 186. 
Hab. Gallapagos Islands (dredged from a depth of seven 
fathoms) ; Cuming. 
A very prettily marbled species, distinguished by its 
sealy sculpture. 
Species 22. (Mus. Cuming.) 
TursBo coronarus. wb. testd globosi, spird depressd, 
anfractibus obsoleté squamatis, syuamarum crassarum 
grandium seriebus tribus spiraliter armatis, columella 
excavaté ; albidd, viridi tinctd, intus margaritaced. 
THE CoRONATED TuRBO. Shell globose, spire depressed, 
whorls obsoletely squamate, spirally armed with three 
rows of large thickened scales or tubercles, columella 
excavated ; whitish, stained with green, pearly within. 
GMELIN, Syst. Nat. p. 3594. 
Hab. Y 
The scales of this species are all of a thickened stunted 
growth, assuming the character of tubercles. 
Species 23. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Turso Ticaonicus. urd. testé ovatd, via umbilicata, 
anfractibus subventricosis, multicostatis, costis irregu- 
laribus hic illic crispato-laminatis ; viridescente, strigis 
latis nigris undatis conspicue pictd, intus argented. 
Tar Trcao Turpo. Shell ovate, scarcely umbilicated, 
whorls somewhat ventricose, many-ribbed, ribs irre- 
gular, here and there crisply laminated; greenish, 
conspicuously painted with broad waved black stripes, 
interior silvered. 
Rexvy, Pro. Zool. Soc., 1842. p. 185. 
Hab. Island of Ticao, Philippines (on the reefs); Cuming. 
The surface of this species is crisply laminated ; but, 
unlike the 7, pulcher, it is extremely irregular and uneven. 
January, 1848.
