Dear Friend,
        I have the work of Bush "Descriptions of new species of Turbonilla of the Western Atlantic fauna, with notes on those previously konown" but I think that it was published in the 1900 and not in the 1899. In this work there are the original descriptions of T. hemphilli, T. dalli, T. conradi and also a copy of original description of T. interrupta (Totten, 1835).
        If you want I can send you a photocopy of this work.
        Best of all
                Italo
