TURRITELLA, Lam. 
Gen. Char. Shell univalve; turretted. Aperture 
entire,, rounded; and having the two lips sepa- 
rated above. A sinus in the right lip. 
TURRITELLA conoidea. 
TAB. LI. — Figs. 1 and 4. 
Spec. Char. Lower part of the whorl angular, 
slightly projecting., longitudinal stria? equally 
distant; seven or more; with intermediate smaller 
ones; all acutely crenulated. 
Whorls about eighteen; the sides of the spire are 
nearly straight with an angular spiral groove; the right 
side of the mouth squarish. 
This is from Barton Cliff, Hampshire, and very nearly 
accords with Brander’s Tab. 3, F. 47, Turbo terebra, 
which is probably intended for the same shell, the striae 
varying somewhat, and the aperture, being mostly broken, 
giving a sufficiently rounded appearance for the Turbo of 
Linnaeus, in which Genus the modern division may be 
useful in many respects to prevent difficulties in dis- 
tinguishing species. I would not consider Brander, F. 49, 
as the same species, it has too many differences ; the volu- 
tions being more oblique, &c. in which I believe it will 
accord with a species hereafter to be considered. 
Fig. 4 represents a specimen from Stubbington, where 
such are found abundantly ; it appears to be a worn speci- 
men of this shell, it bears some resemblance to a screw, 
whence the Generic name Haustator is taken, by some 
authors, but perhaps unnecessarily. I have a very neatly 
marked specimen from Highgate. I believe it was very 
rarely found there. 
Fig. 5 is a piece from the Craig at Holywell, with which 
I am favoured by Mrs. Cobbold, showing the many coned 
structure when worn away distinctly.
