The body whorl is more than twice as long as all the rest to- 

 gether. — W. J. B.

 tudinaliter creberrime elevato -striatis ; spirce apice subnigro :

 Bulinus nitidus. Bui. testdfusiformi, subpellucidd, nitide albidd,

 Jractibus sex, longitudinaliter striatis ; apice subnigro ; labro

This species has somewhat of the opalescent character of the 

 preceding. In some of the old specimens there is a small blunt 

 tooth on the inner surface of the body whorl within the aperture 

 and just above the columella ; but this is by no means a constant 

 character. — W. J. B. 



Bulinus translucens. But. testa oblongo-pyramidali, levissime' 

 transversim striata, pallide Jlavd, valde pellucidd; anfractibus 

 quinque, subventricosis : long. -1-, lat. -g- poll. 

 Hab. in America Meridionali, arboribus adherens. (King's and 



Saboga Islands, Bay of Panama.) 

 This elegant Bulinus, when in fine preservation, is so translucent 

 that the internal pillar and structure of the shell may be plainly 

 viewed through its glassy surface. Like many other transparent 

 shells, this species, when it has been long weathered or dead, becomes 

 of a white hue and much more opaque. — W. J. B. 



Bulinus guttatus. Bui. testa fusiformi, pellucide Juscd, guttis 

 lineisque longitudinalibus albis varid; anfractibus sex ; apice 

 papillari et quasi elephantino : long. -£, lat . | poll. 

 Hab. in Peruvia. (Cobija or Puerto De la Mar.) 

 The termination of the spire in this pretty and transparent spe- 

 cies is somewhat abrupt, and the ivory-looking apex is almost as 

 papillary, and appears almost as opaque, as that of a Turbinella. —

 vittis latisfuscis circumdatd, anfractibus septem, turgidis, longitu-

 turd earned ; long. l-rV> lat. T V poll.
