107. Turritella terebra (Turbo sp.), Linnæus.

Syn., Turritella communis, Risso. Turritella Linnæi, Deshayes.

Loc., fossil. General in the pleistocene beds of Britain. Mammaliferous crag of Bramerton, Bridlington.

Loc., living. Generally distributed through the European Seas.

Note. Occurs in both coralline and red crags.

108. Turritella incrassata, Sowerby (M. C).

Syn., Turriiella triplicata, Brocchi.

Loc., fossil. In the glacial beds of Wexford, not rare.

Loc., living. In the Lusitanian and Mediteranean Seas.

Note. This species appeared in our area during the Coralline Crag epoch. It occurs in the red crag. In the drift it is only found towards its southernmost limits. At the close of the Glacial epoch, it retired to more southern seas, and is now abundant on the coast of the south of Spain. Both fossil and recent specimens vary extremely, the whorls presenting every degree of convexity, and in some examples being quite flat. The number and form of the spiral ridges vary, but in every case the interstices are finely striated.
