BULIMUS.— Plate XLII. 



of which the author informs us he collected a siugle dead 

 specimen in a damp forest at the base of the Eastern 

 Cordilleras of Bolivia, but possesses neither the form nor 

 marking of that species. 



I am indebted to Mi-. Linden, the botanical traveller in 

 New Granada, for the possession of several examples of 

 this chaste and beautiful shell, characterized by different 

 patterns of epidermis, and have thought it a subject not 

 unworthy of being dedicated to an eminent collector in 

 Nort-h Britain, the Honom-able Airs. Cathcart, distinguished 

 by her zeal and affability.

It is not without some doubt that I attribute this shell 



to Mr. Lea's B. glandiformis, whose figure is very obscure.
