 Bulimus dilatatus. Bnl. testd crassiusculd, abbreviato-

 The dilated Bulimus. Shell rather thick, abbreviately 

 pyramidal, somewhat ventricose, whorls six in 

 number, narrow, columella flatly dilated, aperture 

 rather small ; blackish-purple, reddish towards the

 Pfeifker, Pro. Zool. Soc., 1S4G, p. 42. 



A solid contracted pyramidal shell approaching some-

 appears to be abraded in patches beneatli the sutures as in 

 that species. 



Singularly allied in form to the B. dilalatns, which is of 

 a dark purpk-brown colour, but somew liat less ventricose.
