of B. compersus and erosus, but is, I believe, sufliciently 

 distinct.

 Hub. Bolivia, &e. ; D'Orbigny. 



I must refer the reader for a better illu.stration of this 

 species to the above-mentioned magnificent work by JI. 

 D'Orbigny, the present uncoloured specimen giving no 

 other idea of it than that of form. In reference to colour 

 M. D'Orbigny says, " the tints arc extremely variable 

 according to the localities ; at Parana the shell is pale- 

 yellow or dotted, often marked with transverse lines of 

 marbled white and clear brown, with indications of distant 

 clear brown longitudinal lines ; at Chiquitos, on the other 

 hand, it is distinguished by longitudinal brown bands 

 only, wliich are then more conspicuous."

 BulinvM D'Orbignii, Pfeiffer, 



llab. Lima (under stones on the hills) ; Cuming. 



A beautiful species, distinguished by the delicate aspect 



of its fine opakc-white striiE upon a transparent honiy 



ground. 



Fig. a is a representation of the specimen upon which 



Mr. Sowerby founded the species, and Fig. b is the shell 



described by Dr. Pfeiffer under the name B. B'Orbignii. 



Species 1 '14. (Mus. Cuming.) 



BVLIJIUS CUTTATUS. Bul. tedd pyramidali-oblongd, sub-

This species like others of the plate is characterized by 



a sprinkling of opake-white spots, and it is distinguished 



by its papillary apex.
