Hab., off Durban, in deep water. 



This species is very distinct from all the known forms of Turbinella. 

 It is remarkable on account of its triangular form, the flattened upper 

 surface, the coronated angle, and the series of tubercles on the body- 

 whorl, which are arranged in longitudinal and transverse rows. The 

 periostracum is lamellated, and appears to be very Hable to scale off 

 when dry. Beneath the periostracum the surface is glossy and striated 

 with fine lines of growth. Type to be presented to the British Museum 

 by J. F. Quekett, Esq.

The Avhite apex which contrasts very strikingly with the rest of the 

 shell is bluntly mammillated and large for the size of the shell. The 

 costse on the lower whorls are nodose and are not produced above to 

 the suture, beneath which the whorls are a little concave The 

 reflexed columellar callus forms a slight umbilical fissure anteriorly. 

 Type, at present, in Mr. Anderson's collection.

At once recognisable by the peculiar style of colouration, consisting 

 of a series of zig-zag shaped red lines upon the middle of the whorls 

 or of thin transverse red lines, one upon the upper whorls and two on 

 the last, and a very conspicuous darker spot upon the labrum. The
