Wood's Buijmus. Shell ovately conoid, peculiarly con- 

 cave at the base, whorls five in number, somewhat 

 round, sutures impressed, columella slightly twisted ; 

 white, covered with a very thin yellow shining epi- 

 dermis, last whorl stained with burnt brown and 

 conspicuously single banded, columella pinkish pur-

Hab. Island of Romblon, Philippines (on the trees) ; 

 Cuming. 



This species is of a ciiaracter singularly distinct from 

 the rest of its congeners of the Philippine Isles. No 

 [lattern is discernible in the epidermis, which is merely a 

 tiiin transparent horny layer, nor is there any colour in 

 the shell until it approaches matmuty. The specimen re- 

 presented at Fig. 1 1. a is entu-ely colourless ; that at ll.b 

 has a burnt brown hue upon the last whorl, which is 

 further distinguished by a dark band and intensely dark 

 ciiesnut-staiued peritreme.

WALNUT BuLiMUs. Shell ovate, rather thick, whorls 

 tive in number, rotundately tumid, obliquely striated, 

 aperture slightly contracted, columella curved in- 

 wards ; deep reddish chesnut, epidennis rather thin, 

 spirally lineated, apertm-e peritreme and columella 

 pale livid blue.

 Mountains of Igarrotes, northern extremity ol' tlie 

 Island of Luzon, Philippines (on leaves of trees) ; 

 Cuming. 



A rather scarce species of solid growth, and ol' a deep 

 ■rimson brown colour. The aperture is somewhat eou- 

 iracted, and there is a peculiar twist in the columella. 

 I'he e|)idermis is rather slight, disposed in spiral lines. 



Species 13. (Mus. Cuming.) 



BuLlMUS Faunus. Bui. testd mbpyramidali-omtd, cras-

The Pawn Bulimus. Shell somewhat pyramidally 

 ovate, rather thick, whorls six in number, sUghlly 

 convex, columella nearly straight ; chesnut-browii, 

 epidermis simple, smoky-brown, exhibiting a few 

 blackish spots next the sutures, aperture bluish- 

 white, colmnella pinkish-purple, peritreme blackish.

Hai. San Nicolas, Island of Zebu (on the trees); Cuming. 

 Of a firm pyramidal growth, singularly characterized by 



a row of irregular small spots around the sutures.

 Bulimus Ticaonicus. Bui. testd subgloboso-ovatd, apicc

 aut spiraliter lineatd, columelld rosaceo-purpurascente, 

 peritremate purpureo-castaned, nonnwnquam pallida. 

 The Ticao Bulimus. Shell somewhat globosely ovate, 

 obtuse at the apex, whorls five in number, rounded, 

 columella slightly arched ; chesnut-red or pale yellow, 

 with the epidermis in conspicuous, rather distinct 

 flakes or streaks, or simple or spii'ally lineated. colu- 

 mella pinkish-purple, peritreme purple-chesiiut, some- 

 times pale. 

 Helix (Coc/ihstgla) Ticaonica, Broderip, Pro. Zool. Soc. 



1840. 

 Uab. Island of Ticao, Philippines (in the woods); Cuming. 

 This species, like the B. Daphais of the Island of Zebu, 

 is an extremely variable one, assuming numerous styles of 

 pattern and colom-, as may be noticed by the contrast af- 

 forded in the specimens selected for representation. AH 

 are, however, distinguished by tlieii- globose form, and by 

 the important delicate pink colouring of the columella.
