 Ilab. rroviuccs of Yungas, Sicasiea, and Ayupaya, Bolivia 

 (found on garden walls and on bushes at an elevation 

 of more than 9000 feet); D'Orbigny, Bridges. 

 The growth of this species varies, as represented by the 

 specimens figured, from a swollen oblong shape to a more 

 elongated form. Sometimes the shell is banded, and it is 

 always more or less crenulated along the margin next the 

 sutures. The colour is mostly a duU livid olive brown, 

 but the specimen Fig. c, collected by Jlr. Bridges, is a 

 pale yellow.

The bose-coloured Bulimus. Shell oblong ovate, rather 

 thick, ventricose, striated or very minutely granulated 

 under the lens, spire obtusely depressed, whorls fi\e 

 in number, more or less crenulated along the upper 

 margin, lip rather broad, reflected ; olive-green, rose- 

 coloured towards the apex, frequently marbled with 

 a very light epidermis ; lip and columella white, 

 sometimes rose-orange.

The B. rosaceus inhabits a wide range of country and is 

 found in very different states. The variety Fig. a, which 

 may be regarded as the typical form, inhabits the environs 

 of Valparaiso ; that represented at Fig. b, distinguished 

 by its rude concentric striae, strong creimlations, and warm 

 orange colom'ing of the lip and interior, was collected iu 

 great plenty and with little or no variation at Huasco, 

 Chili ; and at Cocapata, Bolivia, a variety of stiU larger 

 size occiu-s of thin light growth with scarcely any indication 

 of crenulations or striae. At Huasco, the species was 

 also eoUeeted by Mr. Bridges in a state quite distinct from 

 these, of much smaller dimensions, paler in colour, and 

 of a minutely granulated satiny hue. This is the B. 

 pachgcJieilus of Pfeiffer, and apparently the shell from 

 Bahia Blanca taken by D'Orbigny for the B. nudeus with 

 wliich he does not seem to be acquainted. Another con- 

 dition of the B. rosaceus is that of similar size from Co- 

 quimbo, described by Mr. Sowerby as a distinct species 

 under the name B. Ckileitsis. It should be observed that 

 the eggs of these smaller species are of a more oblong 

 form than those of the first mentioned. 



Species 88. (Mus. Cuming.)

 reflexo ; violascente-grised, maeulis transversis parvis 

 i/iimerosis irregularibus violaceo-fimcescentibus pictd,

The pheasant-marked Bulimus. Shell oblong-ovate, 

 rather thick, whorls five in number, ventricose, slightly 

 striated, crenulated along the upper margin in the 

 last and penultimate whorls, colmnella a little twisted, 

 Lip thickened, reflected ; violet-grey, painted with 

 numerous irregular small transverse blotches of 

 violet-brown, lip and columella deep violet.
