Pfeiffer, Pro. Zool. Soc, 1S46, p. 33. 

 Ilab. Monte Video, Buenos Ayrcs (on small trees in 

 swampy places) ; Cuming. 

 A vcr)- delicate transparent species in which the whorls 

 are concentrically marked with fine opake-whitc striae. 



Species 115. (Mus. Cuming.) 



BULIMDS coTURNix. Bill, testd globoso-ovata, tenui, in- 

 fiald, vix nniMlicatd, anfraclibus quiiique, ultimo max- 

 imo; hbro simplici; fuscescente-albd, imculis grandi-

The aUAiL Bulimus. Shell globosely ovate, thin, inflated, 

 scarcely umbilicated, whorls live in number, the last 

 very large, lip simple; browuish-white, stained with 

 numerous large blotches of burnt-chesnut. 



SowEHBY, Pro. Zool. Soc, 1S32, p. 33. 



Hab. Huasco, Chili (on di-y stones) ; Cuming, D'Orbigny. 



This is certainly not a variety of B. Broderipii as M. 

 D'Orbigny intimates, it is, with little or no variation, of a 

 more globose form and another style of painting. 



Species 116. (Mus. Cumiiig.) 

 Bulimus Drapaknaudi. Bui. testd subpyramidali-ovatd, 

 anfraclibus septum convexis, lahro simplici; albd, 

 strigis latiusculis ceeruleis, roseis, el opaco-albis, liiieis 

 nigris interdum. subtiliter undatis interspersis, pulclier- 

 rimi longitudiualiter pictd. 

 Deaparnauds' Bulimus. Shell somewhat pyramidally 

 ovate, whorls seven in number, convex, lip simple ; 



white, very beautifidly painted longitudinally with 

 rather broad streaks of blue, pink, and opake white, 

 interspersed with black lines which are sometimes 

 finely waved. 



Pfeiffer, Pro. Zool. Soc., 1846, p. 113. 



Hab. Chilon, Bolivia (on the trunks of Cacti) ; Bridges. 



This is truly a gem, exhibiting the gayest display of 

 colours of any of the cactivorous species. 



Species 117. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Bulimus Bridoesii. Bui. testd ovatd, iimhilicatd, pel- 

 lucidd, apice subobtusd, anfraclibus quatuor, striis con- 

 fertissit>ie et subtilissinie decussatis, aperturd parcius- 

 cdd, labro late reflexo,fere inlegro ; sericeo-flavescenle, 

 perilrenmte albo. 



Bridges' Bulimus. Shell ovate, umbilieatcd, pellucid, 

 rather obtuse at the apex, whorls four in number, 

 very closely and finely decussated with stria;, aperture 

 rather small, lip broadly reflected, almost entire; 

 .silken yellow, peritreme white. 



Pfeiffer, Pro. Zool. Soc, 1842, p. 186. 



Hab. Frierina, Huasco, Chili (under stones) ; Bridges. 



A delicate transparent shell, resembling B. rosaceus in 

 form, but certainly distinct from that species. The whorls 

 are not creniUated along the upper edge, nor is there the 

 least tinge of rose-colouring ; it has more the transparency 

 of a silkwonn cocoon.
