Species 31, (Mus. Cuming.) 
TursBo rapIatus. Turd. testd ovato-turbinatd, umbilicatd, 
subtubulosd, anfractibus rotundatis, spiraliter liratis, 
liris obtusis, nune angustis, minutis, nunc grandibus, 
latiusculis, interstitiis oblique striatis ; luted aut vires-

THE RAYED TurBOo. Shell ovately turbinated, umbilicated, 
somewhat tubulous, whorls rounded, spirally ridged, 
ridges obtuse, here narrow and minute, there large 
and rather broad, the interstices being obliquely 
striated ; yellowish or greenish, conspicuously rayed 
at the upper part with chesnut brown, and spirally 
articulated at the lower.

Hab. ——? 
This species may be recognized by its tubular growth 
and dark colouring, the brown being disposed in marked 
broad rays from the sutures; the figure in Chemnitz, 
quoted by Lamarck for the illustration, of this species, is 
quite a distinct thing, for which see Sp. 36. 
Species 32. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Turso urstrio. Turd. testd subglobosd, tumida, imper- 
foratd, spire suturis excavato-canaliculatis, spiraliter 
liratis, liris subtilissimé laminiferis, squamatis, squamis 
fortibus, erectis ; nived, aurantio-ferrugineo latiradiata, 
intus argented. 
THE HARLEQUIN TuRBO. Shell somewhat globose, swollen, 
imperforated, sutures of the spire excavately chan- 
nelled, spirally ridged, ridges very finely laminiferous, 
squamate, scales strong, erect ; snowy white, broadly 
rayed with orange-rust colour, interior silvered. 
Hab. ? 
A shell of ventricose growth, strongly scaled, whilst 
the entire surface is very minutely laminated.

Species 34. (Mus. nobis.) 
Turzso FLuctuatus. Turd. testa transverse ovata, crassius- 
culd, subventricosd, imperforatd ; anfractibus levibus, 
superne rude angulatis, ad angulum obsolete nodosis, 
infra liris plano-obtusis, hic illic fere evanidis, eingu- 
latis ; columelldé concavd ; olivaced, lineis niveis viridi- 
umbratis, acute undatis, conspicue longitudinaliter pictd, 
intus argented ; operculo testaceo, spiraliter sulcato, 
medio subtilissime granuloso, marginem versus multi- 
serrato. 
THE wavep TurBo. Shell transversely ovate, rather 
thick, somewhat ventricose, imperforated; whorls 
smooth, rudely angled round the upper part, obso- 
letely nodose at the angle, encircled below with 
flatly obtuse ridges, heve and there faintly developed ; 
columella concave ; olive, painted longitudinally with 
conspicuous, zig-zag, white lines, shadowed with 
dark green, interior silvered ; operculum testaceous, 
spirally grooved, very finely granulated in the middle, 
minutely serrated towards the edge. 
Hab. Punta, St. Elena, West Columbia; Cuming. 
An extremely interesting species, which, though of rare 
occurrence, has long been known to me by the above 
name ; from whom it received that appellation, which is 
a very characteristic one, I cannot, however, learn. It is 
a shell of solid growth, somewhat rudely noduled, and 
obscurely flatly ridged. The ground colour is that of a 
livid olive, very conspicuously marked with numerous 
zig-zag lightning-like streaks of bright body-white, shaded 
with dark green. 
The operculum is remarkable; testaceous and strongly 
spirally grooved, the innermost groove is broadly exca- 
vated, and the central mass is solid and minutely granu- 
lated, whilst the portion without the broad groove is 
arranged in numerous concentric, finely serrated lamine. 
For a variety of this species, in which the zig-zag streaks 
are broken up into small ripple-like waves, see Plate XI.

Species 35. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Turso speciosus. Lurb. testd ovald, viz umbilicatd, spird 
subelatd, anfractibus rotundatis, liris pulcherrimé cre- 
berrimé squamatis undique cingulatis ; lutescente, liris 
hie illic viride viridibus, intus argented. 
THE BEAUTIFUL TURBO. Shell ovate, scarcely umbilicated, 
spire somewhat raised; whorls rounded, encircled 
throughout with very beautifully closely scaled ridges ;
