TURBO CRENULATUS var. B. Turd. testé ovato-turbinata, 
imperforata, spire suturis canaliculatis, anfractibus 
superné concavo-angulatis, spiraliter nodulosis, medio 
squamarum liris tribus aut pluribus cingulatd, syuamis

THE CRENULATED TurBo. Shell ovately turbinated, im- 
perforated, sutures of the spire channelled, whorls 
concavely angled round the upper part, spirally no- 
dulous, encircled round the middle with three or 
more ridges of scales, the scales on the angle being 
more prominent and erect ; neatly rayed and clouded 
with white and fawn colour. 
Hab. ? 
A most elegant and delicately sculptured variety, rayed 
and tessellated with a peculiar fawn colour, of the 7. crenu- 
latus described in the preceding plate, Sp. 38. 
Species 43. (Fig. 43 and 44. Mus. Cuming.) 
Turso nivosus. Turd. testé oblongo-turbinatd, imperfo- 
ratd, spird subexsertd, anfractibus spiraliter liratis, 
liris obtusis, irregularibus, duabus prominentibus sub-

Tue snowy Turso. Shell oblong-turbinated, imper- 
forated, spire somewhat exserted, whorls spirally 
ridged, ridges obtuse, irregular, two prominent and 
slightly scaly ; bright green, spotted here and there 
with brown, the prominent and lower ridges articu- 
lated with brown and snowy white, interior silvered. 
Hab. Philippine Islands; Cuming. 
A prettily painted species, not apparently described 
before. 
Species 45. (Mus. Cuming.) 
TurBo TUMIDULUS. Turd. testé ovaté, imperforatd, spird 
subacuminatd, anfractu ultimo amplo, tumidiusculo ; 
anfractibus undique spiraliter liratis, liris angustis, 
confertis, valde irregularibus, oblique serratis ; lutes- 
cente, intensé castaneo nebulata. 
THE SWOLLEN TurBO. Shell ovate, imperforated, spire 
somewhat acuminated, last whorl large and swollen : 
whorls spirally ridged throughout, ridges narrow, 
close set, very irregular, obliquely serrated; yellowish, 
clouded with deep chesnut. 
Hab. ? 
This species merges into the 7. spinosus, but is very 
remotely connected with it. 
Species 46. (Mus. Taylor.) 
TurgBo crrcuuaris. Turd. testd suborbiculari, tnperfo- 
rata, spirdé breviusculd, anfractibus superne depressis, 
liris obtusé nodiferis, alternatim majoribus, cingulatis : 
rosaceo-fusco alboque marmoratd, columella plano- 
concavd, alba, intus margaritacea. 
THE CIRCULAR TurRBo. Shell somewhat orbicular, im- 
perforated, spire rather short, whorls depressed round 
the upper part, encircled with obtusely nodiferous 
ridges, alternately larger; pinkish brown, marbled 
with white, columella flatly concave, white, interior 
pearly. 
Hab. ? 
Very nearly allied in form and general aspect to the 
first species of this monograph, 7. Natalensis, but readily 
distinguished on comparison. 
Species 47. (Mus. Cuming.) 
TurBo spinosus. Turd. pyramidali-turbinatd, imper- 
foratd, spire suturis subrudis, anfractibus conveuis, 
minute obtuse liratis, liris subtilissime oblique striatis, 
hic illic conspicué seriatim squamatis, squamis erectis, 
muricatis ; luteo et virescente, castaneo plus iminusve 
tincté et punctatd, intus argented. 
spiny TurBo. Shell pyramidally turbinated, 
imperforated, sutures of the spire somewhat rude, 
whorls convex, minutely obtusely ridged, ridges very 
finely obliquely striated, here and there conspicuously 
scaled, scales in rows, erect, prickly; yellowish and 
greenish, more or less faintly dotted and stained 
with chesnut, interior silvered.

THE 
The 
An extremely variable species, which ought in courtesy 
to be designated by the name applied to it so many years 
since by Chemmitz; it would, however, be difficult to 
identify were it not that Mr. Cuming possesses a specimen 
agreeing precisely with the figure in the Conchylien Cabinet, 
and of which I have thought it necessary to give a repre- 
sentation at PJ. XIII. 
March, 1848.
