BULIMUS.— Plate XXIX. 



There are apparently two well-raarked varieties of this 

 species, one of a deep burnt red colour, dark chesnut- 

 black round the lower part, with a rose lip as in the richly 

 coloured specimen here figured from the collection of 

 Mr. Demiison; the other of a pm-plish colour, merely 

 brownish towards the lower part and having the lip tmged 

 with scarlet, as in Mr. Cuming's specimen. 



Several fine examples of B. Dowtiesii were collected by 

 Ml-. Fraser at the above-mentioned island, during his 

 adventure in the unfortunate Niger Expedition.

A very handsome characteristic new species totally dis- 

 tinct from any liitherto known, for which I am indebted 

 to the liberality of J. Dennison, Esq., who possesses two 

 examples agreeing with each other in the minutest detail.

Easily distinguished by its style of painting, the colour 

 being arranged round the upper and lower parts of the 

 whorls in large oblong-square blotches, generally flowing 

 irregularly one into the other.
