This article contains descriptions of several species of Bulimulus 

 afterward figured in the Conchological Illustrations. 



Broderip, William John. Description of new species of shells 

 collected by Hugh Cuming. Proc. Zool. Society of London, 1832, 

 p. 125. 



Though this is the first reference to Cuming's Galapagos land 

 shells, only one species, B. mix, is described from Charles Island. 



Pfeiffer, Dr. Ludwig. Description of thirty new species of 

 Helicea belonging to the collection of H. Cuming, Esq. Proc. Zool. 

 Society of London, 1846, pp. 28-29. 



This article describes two new species of Bulimulus collected by 

 Charles Darwin at the Galapagos Islands.

 History and Geology of the countries visited during the voyage of 

 H. M. S. Beagle round the world, under the command of Captain 

 Fitz Roy,R. N. New York, D. Appleton & Co., 1882, 8°. X, 519 

 pp. from the second English edition of 1860. See Chapter xvii, pp. 

 872-401, and especially the notes on mollusca, pp. 390-91. 



This celebrated work first appeared in parts 1844-45, and was 

 published by Murray. The " Zoology of the Beagle " edited by 

 Darwin, contains no reference to the mollusca collected.

 during the surveying voyages of the Herald and Pandora by Cap- 

 tain Kellett, R. N. C. B., and Lieutenant Wood, R. N. Proc. Zool.

In this article the Bidimulus chevinifzioides and achatellinus 

 Forbes, upon which two subgenera have subsequently been founded, 

 are described and other species collected at the Galapagos Islands are 

 enumerated with comments. All are said to have been collected on 

 Chatham Island. 



Albers, Johann Christian. Die Heliceen, nach naturlicher 

 Verwandtschaft systematisch geordnet. Berlin, Enslin, 1850, 8°, 

 262 pp. 



In this volume, pp. 162-3, the Galapagos Bulimuli are grouped 

 together under the name of Nossiotus. In the second, posthumous 

 edition, (Leipzig, Englemann, 1860) issued under the supervision and 

 revision of von Martens, Nesiotes is substituted for the earlier name, 

 and two of the species set off into new sections ; for chemnitzioides the 

 name Pleuropyrgus is proposed, and Forbes' achatellinus is removed to 

 Buliminus (where it does not belong) and made the type of the sub- 

 genus Rhaphiellus, following Pfeiffer (Vers, einer Anordnung der 

 Heliceen, Malak. Bliitt, ii, pp. 112-160, 1856).

Most of the species described at that time from the Galapagos are 

 more or less accurately figured in this work.
