 The Guyo Bulimus. Shell pyramidally ovate, umbili- 

 cated, whorls five iu number, somewhat rounded, 

 rather ventricose, columella slightly arched; bm'ut 

 lirown or straw-colom-, encircled by a black band,

Bidiuinx calobapti's, Jonas. 

 ll(di. Islands of Cuyo and Miudoro, I'liilippines (on the 

 trees) ; Cuming. 

 This very pretty species was first described by Pr. 

 Pfeifl'er, from a single indifferent specimen collected by 

 Jlr, Cuming at the Island of Cuyo ; others subsequently 

 arrived from the Island of Mindoro, exceeding the former 

 so greatly in size and beauty, that theii' identity was not 

 rocno-nised.

 The earthen Bulimus. Shell cylindrically oblong,

 covered with au opake cream-colom'cd epidermis, 

 leaving a few irregular longitudinal streaks, peritreme

H(dj. Island of Cuyo, Philippines (nn the leaves of trees); 

 Cuming. 

 I much doubt if the BuViiiihh lun-iiliix of Broderip, 

 (Sowerby, Couch. Illus. f. 117) is distinct from this; it 

 was described, with some hesitation, from a single speci- 

 men in rather incUfferent condition, and its specific value 

 has not been confirmed by the receipt of any specimens 

 showing more distinctly the characters which it served to 

 indicate.

The Dry.ys Bulimus. Shell elongately ovate, rather 

 thick, slightly umbilicated, whorls six in nmnber, 

 convex, aperture somewhat contracted, lip rather 

 thick, broadly reflected ; ivory-white, mostly conspi- 

 cuously banded with chesnut and brownish-black, 

 with scarcely any epidermis.

 Bulimus porraceits. Jay. 

 Testa juvenis, Bulimus paradoxus, Pfeifl'er. 



Ilab. Mansalai, Island of Mindoro, Phdippiucs (in the 

 woods) ; Cuming. 

 Of a pecidiarly thickened growth compared with other 



species, giving a widely reflected lip to tiie aperture, with 



au extremely slight epidermis. The rich dark chesnut 



baruls with which it is mostly encircled are deeply stained 



iu the shell.

The Sylvanus Bulimus. Shell elongately ovate, some- 

 what pyramidal, whorls six in number, rather ven- 

 tricose, aperture sUghtly efl'used, lip widely reflected ; 

 whitish, generally broadly banded with chesnut -brown 

 and covered with a thin yellow horny epidermis, 

 frequently exhibiting remote longitudinal streaks, 

 peritreme white, often edged with rose or chesnut.

Hab. Puerto Portrero, Island of Mindoro ( in the woods) ; 

 Cuming. 



This species, it will be oljserved, is distinguished from 

 the preceding by its lighter growth, deeper colour, and 

 more developed epideriuis.
