Hub. Islay, Port Arequipa, Peru, on the hills, Cuming ; 

 on dry rocks near the shore, D' Orbigny.

situations where there is not the slightest \egetation or 



moistm-e even from the dews.

The elegant Bulimus. ShcU ovate, very thin, trans- 

 jjarent, inflated, whorls five in number, convex, the 

 last very large, lip simple; reddish horny colour, 

 longitudinally painted with waved black lines and 

 opake white streaks.

The changeable-coloured Bulimus. Shell pyrami- 

 dally ovate, largely umbilicated, whorls six in number, 

 convex, minutely depressly gi-anulated, lip thin, rather 

 widely reflected; chesnut, variegated with whitish 

 spots.

Hab. Mongon near Casma, Peru (found on bushes on the 

 mountains) ; Cuming. 



Although this shell varies in its shade and pattern ol' 

 colour-, the specimens all partake more or less of- the same 

 red-brown tint which characterizes the B. Proteus. In 

 form and scidptui-e the variation is trifling, and I doubt 

 very much if it should not also be arranged, together with 

 B. iiudabiUs, as a variety of that species.
