190 FAUNA AND FLORA OF PALESTINE. 



"i-]. Buliiiius cJircnbcrgi. Pfr. P. Z. S., 1S46, p. 113. 



Erroneously identified by Bourguinat with B. ohcsatus, Webb and 

 Berthelot, from the Canaries. Frequent throughout the wooded hills and 

 under brushwood in Western Palestine. The rich olive-green epidermis 

 of the living shell seems to have escaped the notice of its describers. 



88. Biiliuius forskalii. Beck. Ind., p. 68. 



Southern desert. This species partakes much of the character of 

 Pupa. 



89. Biiliiiius vricr. Tristram. P. Z. S., 1865, p. 537. 



Long, tota 15, lat. 7 ; apert. long. 5^, lat. \\ mill. 



The Wady of Amman (Rabbath Ammon). 



This Buiimus, the Transjordanic representative of B. attenuaiiis, is 

 intermediate in character between it and B. pupa of Greece and Algeria. 

 From the latter it may be distinguished at once by its olive-green colour 

 and by its suddenly expanding fifth whorl, which gives it a peculiar obese 

 appearance. From the former it is distinguished by the sixth and seventh 

 whorls increasing instead of contracting. 



90. Bulim2is {Chondr2is) triticcus. Rossm. Ic. iii., p. 89. 

 Near Jerusalem. 



91. Bulinms {CJiondnts) sulcidens, Mouss. Pfr. Mon. vi., p. 71. 

 The Bukda. 



92. Btdiiims {Chondnts) triciispidatus. Ktister, p. 62, pi. 8, f. 5, 6. 

 Not uncommon near Beyrout, and by the Dead Sea. 



93. Bnliimts (CJiondriis) septcnidcutatns. Roth. Diss., p. 19, pi. 2, f. 2. 

 Common throughout the whole country, and subject to great variations 



in size. The mouth is frequently six-toothed, and sometimes only five- 

 toothed. 



94. Bulivms {(2hondr7is) oimlaris. Oliv. Voy. i., p. 225, pi. 17, f. 12. 

 Common. For the distinctions between this and the last species, see 



Mousson, Coq. p. 46.
