Length about one-tenth of an inch. Inhabits the Southern 
coast. 
Animal . — Foot shorter than the shell, oval; tentacula rather 
robust, filiform, half as long as the foot ; eyes at the external base 
of the tentacula. 
I have obtained but a single individual of this species. If it is 
only an immature specimen, we know nothing of the parent of 
it. 
Turbo palliatus. — Shell suboval, not remarkably thickened ; 
whirls four or five, wrinkled transversely ; spire short, convex, 
obtuse, much shorter than the aperture; suture moderately in- 
dented. 
Length about one-third of an inch. G^reatest breadth about the 
same. Inhabits the shores of the New England States. Cabinets 
of Mr. Aaron Stone, Mr. Wm. Hyde and my own. 
This species was found by Mr. Aaron Stone on sea-weed, about 
low water mark. It is often variegated with olivaceous and white, 
or green and yellowish, so as to exhibit a reticulated appearance ; 
but they are very frequently covered with a greenish, or red- 
dish-brown pigment, and sometimes with a plain yellowish-white 
immaculated one. The shell within is very often of a dark red- 
dish-brown color, with the oral margin whitish ; but the same part 
is sometimes entirely whitish. 
Turbo obligatus. — Shell suboval, not thickened; whirls five, 
transversely wrinkled, and longitudinally striated with obtuse 
slightly elevated lines ; spire short, much shorter than the aperture ; 
suture indented. 
Length about one-third of an inch. Glreatest breadth about the 
same. Inhabits Portland, Maine. Cabinets of Messrs. Stone, 
Hyde and Say. 
This species strongly resembles the preceding, but is distin- 
guished by the elevated, obtuse, revolving lines, or acute impressed 
ones. The colors are greenish, olivaceous, or whitish, with darker, 
irregular, transverse lines or shades, and the throat is dark reddish- 
brown, the margin of the mouth whitish. It is very possible that 
it is only a variety of the preceding. 
Turbo vestita.^ — ^Shell conic, rather thin ; whirls about six, 
rounded, transversely wrinkled ; spire as long as the aperture ; 
suture deeply impressed.
