The wide-spread developemcnt of the lip is rather a 



peculiar feature in this species. It is not uncommon.

 Helix maximiUana , Ferussac, ilSS. 

 Hab. Brazil. 



The name B. maximiUana of De Ferussac does not 

 appear to have been published. There is a very charac- 

 teristic dwarf state of the species exhibiting the same 

 varieties of colom-ing as those of a larger growth. 



Species 202. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Bulimus Taunaysii. Bul. testd elongato-oblongd, subcjj- 

 lindraced, anfractibus sex ad sepiem, convexis, lavibus,

 tenuicnlo, vix reflexo; fulvo- vel nigricante-fuscd, 

 zonuld pallida angustd cingulatd, columelld albd. 



Tadnay's Bulimus. Shell elongately oblong, somewhat 

 cylindrical, whorls six to seven in number, convex, 

 smooth, longitudinally striated, cohmieOa somewhat 

 twisted, lip rather thin, scarcely retleeted ; fulvous or

 Helix Taunaysii, Ferussac. 



Eudem. Bulimus tnagnificus, Grateloup. 



Hab. Brazil. 



The shell named B. magkijicus by M. Grateloup is, 

 according to the specimens so marked in Mr. Cuming's 

 collection, a variety of B. Tmuwgsii of a lighter brown 

 colom-. 



Species 203. (Fig. a. Mus. Demiison. Fig. b, 

 and c. Mus. Cuming.) 



Bulimus jielanostoma. Bul. testd oblongo-ovatd, spird

 sometimes partially bisected; pinkish-white, obs- 

 curely clouded with pale brown, spire frequently 

 piukish towards the apex, blackish between the folds,
