 The shining Bulihius. Shell pjTamidally ovate, fliiii, 

 somewhat transparent, whorls six in number, convex,

Bulimm cactivoriis, Broderip. 

 Eab. Columbia and Peru ; Cuming. 



Of a delicate opalescent cream-colour with a black apex, 

 aud longitudinally streaked with blue-brown, a neat tinely 

 corded appearance being imparted to the shell in conse- 

 quence of the strise which cross the dark streaks remaining 

 cream-coloiu-. The B. cactivoriis of Broderip is merely a 

 variety having no streaks.

The variable Bulimus. Shell elongated, thin, umbiU- 

 cated, whorls seven in number, convex, longitudinally 

 here and there rudely striated, aperture small, lip 

 simple ; white or reddish, most fi-equently zoned or 

 longitudinally streaked and variegated with chesnut.

B.piiIclieUiis and rubellits. 



Hab. On the mountains about TruxiUo, Peru ; Cuming. 



The present is a remarkable instance of the variation of 

 colom- and pattern in one species in the same locahty. 

 The variety Fig. a, {B. rubellm, Brod.) is of a simple 

 reddish nankeen colour ; Fig. i, (5.^«fc/(eW««, Brod.) is 

 white, reddish towards the apex, encii'cled by a regidar 



Mav, 



series of dark brown zones; and Fig. c, (B. variai/s, 

 Brod.) is of the same ground tint as Fig. a, with the 

 addition of numerous irregular mottled longitudinal 

 pm-ple-brown streaks. All are characterized by a dark 

 bauil in the umbdicus which is rather larare. 



Species 10.5. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Bunjirs LEMNiscATUS. Bid. ti'std oiiatd, ve/itricosd au- 

 pliter umbiUcatd, spird snbpyramidali, acuta, anfracti- 

 b/is septeni, rotundatis, lavibns, labro simplici, albidd, 

 vitli.'i fii-icis pecidiariter interniptis circumdatd, colu- 

 mella et ajiertura fauce roseo. 



The ribanded Bulimus. Shell ovate, largely umbdi- 

 cated, spii-e somewhat pyramidal, sharp, whorls seven 

 in number, rounded, smooth, lip simple; whitish, 

 sm-rouuded by peculiarly intermpted brown fillets, 

 columella and interior of the aperture pink.

 Bidimus viltatus, Broderip (not of Spix). 



Hab. Ilo, Peru; Cuming. 



The brown bands or fillets which characterize this 

 species are broken up in a peculiar manner into square 

 blotches divided in part by a light transverse dasli of 

 white ; the eolumeUa and interior are pink. 



M. D' Orbigny appears to have confounded this aud 

 the B. Hentiahii together; his Fig. 8 (Voy. Amer. Jlerid. 

 PL 30.) is a variety of the fonner species, wliilst his 

 Fig. 3 and 4 are of the latter. 



Species 106. (Mus. Cuming.) 



BuLnirs fusoides. Bid. testa elongatd, basi effnsd, au- 

 fractibus sex, lavibus, nitidis, columelld oblique contortd, 

 labro vix reflexo ; albidd, strigis ceerulescente-fuscii 

 angitstis tindatis longitudinaUter ornatd, columelld in- 

 tense roseo-purpured, labro albo. 



The rusoiD Bulimus. Shell elongated, eflfused at the 

 base, wdiorls six in number, smooth, shining, columella 

 obliquely twisted, lip scarcely reflected; whitish,
