o variegata, anfractibus biangulatis supra planis infra convexis, umbilico pervio edentulo. Shell orbicular conical; spire rather depressed; whorls five spirally striated; upper part flattened, expanded, white with numerous diverging red cross lines; centre flat, nearly at right angles with the upper edge, white, with a convex thread-like rib round its base, which is distantly articulated; base of the whorls convex, red, punctured and variegated with white; axis conical, concave, white, smooth at the commencement; aperture subquadrangular; inside pearly, inner lip with an obscure tooth at the end of the umbilicus; axis one-fourth, diameter one-third, of an inch. 35. Turbo setosus, Gmel. Sys. Nat. 3594. Lam. Hist. 7 42. Icon. Chemn. 5 t. 181. f. 1795, 1796. 36. Turbo torquatus, Gmel. 3597. Lam. Hist. 7 40. Icon. Chemn. 10 293. figure 24. f. A. B. 37.

Phasianella pulchra (n.s.) Testa minuta oblique conica tenuis pellucida linea albida opaca et fasciis coccineis ornata, anfractibus valde convexis. Shell minute, obliquely conical, thin, pellucid, variegated with spiral opaque white intercepted striae and several transverse scarlet bands formed of oblique lines; axis, imperforated, one-sixth, diameter one-eighth, of an inch. This shell is somewhat like P. pullus, Turbo pullus of Montague, but the whorls are more convex, and it is rather differently marked. 39. Scalaria australis, Lam. Hist. 6 pt. 2. 228. Icon. -- 40. Scalaria tenuis (n.s.) Testa conica umbillcata tenuis pellucida albida unifasciata, costis albis tenuibus ereberrimis parum elevatis laevibus, anfractibus contiguis. Shell conical, thin, pellucid, whitish-brown, with a narrow central spiral brown band; whorls contiguous, convex, smooth, with numerous close oblique slightly raised, thin, simple-edged cross ribs; axis umbilicated; umbilicus narrow; mouth small, ovate, orbicular; axis three-eighths, diameter one-fourth of an inch. This shell is most like Scalaria principalis, nob. Turbo principalis of Pallas, Chemn. 11 t. 195, f. 1876, 1877. The shell before me is most probably a young specimen. 41. Delphinula laciniata, Lam. Hist. 6 pt. 2. 230. Turbo Delphinus, Gmel. Syst. Nat. 1 3599. Icon. Lister. Conch. t. 608. f. 45. This shell was found
