which they become slightly convex and nearly parallel to the perpendicular 
through the apex. Base of shell convex. Mouth, ornamentation, columella, &c., 
unseen. 
Size. — Height 14 mm., width 10 mm. 
Locality. — There is a single worn specimen of this shell in the Battersby 
Collection in the Torquay Museum, which probably came from Barton or Lum- 
maton; and another fragmentary specimen from "Wolborough in Mr. Vicary's V 
Collection. 
Remarks. — The two specimens which I know of the present species are 
unfortunately very defective, and hence its position can only be determined by 
comparison with Continental forms. It is, however, so similar to the shell 
described as Turbo subangulosus, F. A. Romer,* as evidently to belong to the same 
genus as that shell, though separated from it by specific differences. Mr. Roberts 
and I concluded that it was distinguished from it by being more angulated in 
form, by having the part of the whorl above the shoulder more flattened, and by 
having the ridge upon the shoulder much further from the suture than in that 
shell.

Description. — " Conical, short, oblique, smooth ; apex obtuse ; whorls slightly 
rounded, most prominent below ; aperture circular. Height and diameter equal, 
about half an inch " (Sowerby). 
Localities. — " Common at Stonehouse Hill." There is one specimen of this 
species in Mr. Vicary's Collection from Chudleigh. 
Bemarlcs. — Mr. Vicary's specimen is a mould, and shows nothing of the shell 
except that it was massive. It agrees, however, as far as it goes, so accurately 
with Sowerby's figure and description that there is every reason to believe that it 
belongs to the same species, especially as I know of no other shell from these 
localities of which it could be the cast.
