IiiK Diana Bllimcs. Shell elongati-ly oblong, whorls

 tliin, longitudinally streaked and clouded, ])eritremc; 

 very wliite.

Jfnb. Timhay, Island of Negi-os, riiilippincs (on the 

 leaves of bushes) ; Cimiing. 

 Tlif ciiief point of difference between this species and 



tile B. Calisla appears to consist in the shining ivory-white 



peritreme and apex, and it is not uidikely, as Mr. Broderip 



suggests, that tliey may merge into one and the same 



species. 



Species 41. (Tig. o and A. Mus. Cuming.) 



Ullimus Nvsipha. Bui. testa mbpyramidali-oblmi(jd, 

 anfractibm senis septenisve, convexis, tdtmio obscure 

 ca-rinat^ ; columella, vix arcuatd ; mfo-castaned, epi- 

 itemide in strigis loiigitndinalibus, latis, rectiusculis, 

 peritremate purpureo-nigricante. 



The Nymph Bulimus. Shell somewhat pyramidally ob- 

 long, whorls six or seven in number, convex, the last 

 obscurely keeled ; columella scarcely curved ; reddish 

 chesnut, epiflcrrais in rather straight ijroad longitu- 

 dinal streaks, peritreme purple-black.

Ilab. Fig. a, Mount Isarog ; Fig. b, Catanauan, Island of 

 Luzon, Philippines (on the leaves of trees); Cuming. 



The variety represented at Fig. b is composed of a 

 whorl less than the other, and is of more ventricose pro- 

 portions. From B. Bo/toleiisis, to which this species is 

 perhaps the nearest allied, it differs in being of a more 

 acuminated form, whilst the pretty zig-zag pattern is 

 wanting in the epidermis. 



Species 42. (Mus. Cuming.) 

 Bullous Skiuijoeensis. Bui. testa oblotigo-ovatd, tenui- 

 culd, anfractUrui serm, suhventricosh, idtinio obscure

 effusd ; flavicaiUe, epidermide tenui, pulcherrhni mar-

 apice nifescente-castanco. 

 The Siquijor Bulimus. Shell oblong-ovate, rather 

 thin, whorls six in number, rather ventricose, the 

 last obscurely keeled ; columella nearly straight, 

 aperture a little effused ; yellowish, prettUy flamed

 Pfeiffek, Pro. Zool. Soc, 184.5, p. 74. 

 Ilah. Island of Siquijor, Philippines (on the leaves of 

 trees) ; Cuming. 

 A light ventricose shell, in wliich the epidermis is dis- 

 posed iu light sharply zig-zag flames, and beneath the 

 keel, which is obscurely developed on the lust whorl, 

 there is an interrupted band of indistinct arrow-headed 

 marks.
