The noble diadem of flexuous scale-like tubercles with which this 
shell is crowned, renders it eminently distinct from its congener 
the T. cornigerus, in which they are of a solid stunted growth. The 
enamelling of the columella is also remarkable, being always of a 
very peculiar chocolate-brown colour. 
TURBINELLUS VEXILLULUM. Turb. testd trigono-turbinatd, albd, 
lineis ceruleis, et interdum roseis, vivide cingulatd, anfractibus 
subtrigonis, in medio valdé tuberculatis ; columellé triplicatd, pli-

This beautiful shell, which approximates to the T. aplusire, is 
vividly lined across with very deep blue, and between every two blue 
lines is a pink one, presenting an almost artificial contrast of colour.
