According to Dr. Pliilippi, this species is commonly mistaken 

 for T. inermis. Kienei' has figured the Panama shell as T. 

 inermis, and a very different species as T. Buschii; v. pi. 81. f. 1. 

 Oii account of the solid calcareotis opercUlnm, we' have removed 

 the species into Turbo. 



Station. — On or under stones tetween the low water mark of 

 the neap tides and that of the spring tides.

 Dr. Philippi cites Von. dem Busch as authority for the. 

 habitat, but not, we suppose, as original testimony. 



282. Turbo (7) phasianclla. Nov. sp.? 



Shell ovate conoid : color various, mostly red or brown, some- 

 times uniform, frequently in dark flammules on a light ground, 

 sometimes with spiral darker stripes or series of spots : surface 

 covered with strong spiral striae : apex subacute : spire conoid, 

 with the outlines moderately curvilinear : whorls five, convex, 

 with a distinct suture : aperture broad ovate, subeffuse : labrum 

 thin : umbilicus very small. 



Mean divergence aboilt 64°; length .16 inch; breadth .11 

 inch ; length of spire .08 inch. 



Operculum calcareous, very thick and solid. But for the 

 want of a polished surface, this species would have been referred 

 to Phasianella. It may be a Trochus. It may be Littorina 

 phasianella Phil, in Zeitschr/ Malak. 1848. p. 149.
