TURBO. 
f“TT^ H E Turbo is a Ample fhell, having no hinge, and formed of one continued 
JL piece j it is long and flender, of a figure more or lefs regularly conic, always 
terminating in a very long and fine point; the mouth is narroweft toward the bafe, 
and is aurited 5 the fhape is irregular : in fome it is oblong in others, rounded, broad, 
or deprefled ; in fome dentated, in others fmooth. 
Some authors have called thefe Strombi, and many have confounded them with the 
Buccina. In Englifh we call them Screw-fhells j the French, Vis. 
!Turbo craffior et ventricofior ore fubovato. 
The thick ventricofe Turbo , with a?z oval mouth . 
This is a large fpecies; we meet with it feven inches long, and near two inches in 
diameter in the larged part: it confifts of about fourteen volutions, the ten larger are 
fufficiently diftind j the four extream ones rather confufed j the lowed volution is the 
larged, all the others gradually diminifh from this to the extremity, where it is pointed 5 
they are all rounded on the furface or ventricofe : the furface of the fhell is fmooth, 
and the ground colour white ; it is beautifully variegated with yellow rays, and with ele¬ 
gant and broad fafciae, formed of a mixture of blue and brown lines, interrupted by 
irregular fpirals of the fame colours : the mouth is large and wide; the lip thin, and 
not dentated. 
It is abundant in America, and is found alfo in fome of the European fliores.
