Species 128. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Bui.iMUS DECOLORATUs. Bill, testii ohloiifjo-omtd, ail- 

 fractibus qninqne, medio snhangulato-ventncosh, infra 

 suturas peculiariter lotiffil/idiiinUfcr cminhdis, Inbro 

 simplici; albidd, fuscescente hie illic ii'iiuiicr s/rii/a/d,

The discoloured Buhmus. Shell oblonn--ovate, wborLs 

 five in luimber, somewhat angularly ventricose in the 

 middle, peculiarly longitudinally crenulated beneath 

 the sutures, lip simple ; whitish, finely streaked here 

 and there with light bromi, chesnut brown rouuil 

 the colnmella. 



SowERBY, Pro. Zool. Soc., 183.3, p. 73. 



Hab. Vicinity of Lima, Peru (found bnried in the earth 

 uiuler bushes on the hills) ; Cuiniug. 

 The fii-st two whorls of this shell are characterized by a 



very minute, shagreen appearance, discernible only with 



the lens, but it may be doibteii whether it is of any 



specific value. 



Species 129. (Fig. a and b. JIus. Cuming.) 

 BuLiJtus Sc.iL.\Rii'oiniis. Bid. tedd pyraniidali-oblongd, 

 ampliter umbUicatd, anfradibm se.v, rofundaiis, cre- 

 berrime concent rice tenuicostatis, apertiird parvd, labro 

 simplici ; fuscescente, costis albidis. 

 The Scalaria-shaped Bulimus. Shell pyramidally 

 oblong, largely umbilicated, whorls six in number, 

 round, very closely concentrically finely ribbed, aper- 

 tm-e small, lip simple; light brown, ribs whitish. 

 Broderip, Pro. Zool. Soc, 1832, p. 31. 

 //hA. Ancon, Peru; Cuming. Vicinity of Lima; D'Orbigny. 

 An extremely interesting species of which two speci- 

 mens are represented, illustrative of its variation of growth. 

 M. D'Orbigny relates ha\-ing found it in great abundance 

 among the ruins of a temple erected by the ancient Incas 

 in honour of theu- invisible god, Pachacamac. 



Species 130. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Bulimus ustulatus. Bui. testa oblongo-ovatd, subampliter 



umbilicatd, anfractibus se.t, subrotundis, concentrice 



rude striatis, labro simplici; iistidnto-fitscd, spiraliter 



varii lineatd. 



The scorched Bulimus. Shell oblong-ovate, rather 



largely umbilicated, whorls six in number, someu Iki 

 rounded, concentrically rudely striated, lip sini))le 

 burnt brown, variously spirally lineated. 



SowERBY, Pro. Zool. Soc, 1833, p. 72. 



Ilab. Charles' Island, GaUapagos (under detached pieei' 

 of lava) ; Cuming. 

 The lineated pattern of tliis species is somewhat variable 



but it is always characterized by the same scorched browi 



hue. 



Species 181. (Mus. Cuming.) 

 BlLlMus MERIDIONALIS. Bid. testd cylindraceo-ovald, 

 teuuiculd, vij; umbilicatd, anfractibus sex, peculiariter 

 scubroso-incisis, prope suturas irregulariler lineari- 

 sidcatis, columelld atigulariter contortd, aperturd ob- 

 longd, kviter compressd ; sordide albd, aperture fauce 

 intense purpureo-rufd. 

 The SOUTHERN Bulimus. Shell cyliudrically ovate, rather 

 thin, scarcely umbilicated, whorls six in number, 

 pecrdiarly scabrously engraved, irregidarly linearly 

 grooved near the sutures ; columella angularly twisted, 

 aperture oblong, slightly compressed; dead white, 

 interior of the apertm-e rich purple red. 

 Hab. Chili; Bridges. 



A very singular species, which appears to have escaped 

 the vigilant search of both Cuming and D'Orbigny. It 

 is very unlike any other Chilian species. Of a cyliudri- 

 cally oblong form, its dead white surface is curiously en- 

 graved with obtuse or obsolete scales, and the interior is 

 stained with a deep purple-red colour. The coliuuella has 

 a curious angidar prominence, which does not, however, 

 form an inner fold as in the Auricula-like species. 



Species 132. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Bulimus bilineatus. Bui. testa pijramidali-iMonga, 

 umbilicatd, anfractibus septem, convexis, Itevibtis, aper- 

 turd parvd, labro simplici; fuscescente-alha, liiteis 

 diiabus rufescentibus cingulatd. 



The two-lined Bulimus. Shell pyramidally oblong, 

 umbilicated, whorls seven in number, convex, smooth, 

 aperture small, lip simple ; brownish-white, encircled 

 by two reddish lines.
