 Hah. Island of Camote, Philippines (on the leaves of 

 trees); Cuming. 

 Of this species Mr. Cuming only collected tliree speci- 

 mens, and these appear to be of somewhat immature 

 growth. It is not distinguished by any marked pecu- 

 liarity of character. 



Fig. 58. (Mus. Cuming.) 



This shell was namgd in Mx. Cuming's collection B. ne- 

 bulosm, but as I am doubtfid of its being a variety of the 

 B. calMa, it may for the present be referred to that species. 

 For Sp. .58, see'pi. XIIT. 



Species 59. (Mus. Cuming.)

 trees); Cuming. 

 The colour of this shell is a dark burnt browTi, \vith 



traces of a light puckered e|)idcrmis beneath the sutui-es. 



It may be readily distinguished by this and its pjTamidal 



growth.
