 Guerin's Bulimus. Shell obloug-ovate, rather thin, 

 somewhat obtuse at the apex, whorls five in number,

 Pfeiffer, Pro. Zool. Soc, 184G, p. -10. 

 Hab. New Granada. 



Although much smaller in size and of comparatively 

 lighter gi-owth, this species approximates so closely to the 

 B. Moritdaniis, which is found in the same locality under 

 a multitude of aspects, that I fear it may prove to be only 

 a dwarf variety. 



Species 194. (Mus. Cuming.)

The chrystalline Bulimus. Shell conically ovate, 

 thin, pellucid, very much inflated, whorls Ave to six 

 in number, transversely very finely impressly striated 

 throughout, last whorl very large, obtusely keeled 

 towards the base, columella eoncavely depressed, 

 slightly reflected, lip thin, simple ; transparent white, 

 columella pale brown. 



Hub. ? 



Of very peculiar form, and ditt'ering in all respects from 

 any species hitherto described. It is a light transparent 

 shell, transversely engraved with flue striae, very much 

 inflated, and indistinctly angled towards the base.

The one-zone Bulimus. Shell somewhat pyramidally 

 ovate, obtuse at the apex, whorls five in luimber, 

 rounded, obliquely striated, columella straight, lip 

 but slightly reflected ; reddish brown, encircled by a 

 rather wide white zone, conspicuous only on the 

 last whorl, and covered with a brown cpidermi'^, 

 peritreme blackish.

Collected in the Philippine Islands by Pr. Kierulf of 



Copenhagen, and apparently distinct from any of Mr. 



Cuming's species.

 number, longitudinally rudely striated, minutely gra- 

 mdated throughout, last whorl very large, inflated,

 Lea, Trans. Amer. Phil. Soc, 1836. 

 Hab. Between La Plata and Tocairaa, New (iraiiada ;

 Distinguished by the widely-inflated and rapid enlarge- 

 ment of the last whorl ; of a chesnut colour, besprinkled 

 with dashes of brown.
