 .V bright shining species closely resembling a variety ol' 

 li. cincimiM, not figured in the accompanying plate, which 

 is sufficiently distinct in form to prevent their being con- 

 founded, the one for the other.

 The slightly-keeled Bulimls. Shell eonically ovate, 

 somewhat transparent, whorls si.x in number, convex, 

 very finely decussated with fine transverse and ob- 

 lique striaj, last whorl obscurely slightly keeled, 

 columella but little twisted, lip reflected, somewhat 

 efi'iiscd ; blucish white, epidennis hycb-ophanous, light 

 brown, peculiarly golden tinged at the sutures, over 

 another one of a thin horny substance.

 Uab. Island of Romblon, Philip])ines (on the leaves of 

 trees) ; Ciuning. 

 This delicate semi-transparent species serves to illus- 

 trate in an interesting manner the phenomenon, observed 

 in many Btdimi, of a double epidennis. The shell under 

 consideration is a clear opal white, it is then covered with 

 a thin, sliining, greenish, horny epidermis, over wliich is 

 a soft, tenacious, porous, hydrophanous one, curiously 

 puckered and tinged with a bronze or golden hue around 

 the sutures.
