zigzagged stripes are of a golden yellow colour, and on the luot vo- 

 lution they are interrupted by a brown transverse line. 



Var. b. Ground-colour pale yellow ; the longitudinal stripes as in 

 Var. a. No transverse line on the last volution.

This shell bears great resemblance to the Bul. ovatus. The body- 

 whorl has three brownish bands, and the others have two, one in the 

 middle and the second on the suture ; this last band is interrupted 

 by the epidermis, so that it seems as if this band was sprinkled with 

 red and yellow spots. The base of the last whorl is of a green colour 

 where the columella is reflected.

This shell is like Bul. guimaracensis, but more slender, and the 

 proportions of the volutions differ. 



BuLiMus SIMPLEX. Bul. testd imperforatd, ovato-conoided, tenui, 

 diaphand, candidd, epidermide tenuissimd, viridi, superne evane- 

 scente; anfractibus quinis convexis, subtiliter striatis, lineisque 

 spiralibus oculo armato solummodb conspicuis circumdatis, suturis 

 haud marginatis ; ultimo anfractu dimidiam tested partem fere 

 cequante, obtuse angulato ; aperturd ovatd, peritremate acuta, sub- 

 refiexo, intiis limbato ; columelld filiformi rectd.

Though this Bulimus on the first sight bears great resemblance to 

 the Bul. bullula, it is still very distinct. 



Mr. Fraser then characterized two new species of Birds from West- 

 ern Africa. : — 



Strix Poensis. ^trix rostro ccerulescenti-corneo ; facie albd, disco 

 plumarum confertissimarum, texturd holosericd, circumdatd, — illis 

 antice positis albis, posticis fiavis, ad basim pallentibus, — illis au- 

 tem genarum apicibus nigris ; corpore superne, e cervino flavo, albo 

 et purpurea crebre adsperso, plumarum omnium scapis bis terve 

 albo guttatis cum spatio nigro inter singulas guttas ; colli lateribus 

 fiavis, et, ut apud dorsum, guttatis ; primariis et secondariis fere 

 obsolete fasciatis, et sordide purpurea alboque, sparse guttatis /
