BULIMUS.— Plate XLVII. 



Ml-. Benson informs me that this species was fast col- 

 lected by Capt. Hutton in the warmer vallies of the sub- 

 Himalayan range, on the left bank of the Sutledge ; and 

 that specunens were transmitted to him from Kliyber Pass 

 by Capt. Barr.

Hub. Rio Janeiro. 



Very closely allied to B. Janelrensis, and from the same 



locality ; it seems, however, to difl'er in the columellar la- 



minfe and reticidated an-angement of the opake pattern. 



Species 306. (Mus. Gumhig.) 

 I^ULIMUS Helena. Bui. testd subobeso-cylmdraced, tenui,

 umbilicatd, anfractibus septem, rotundatis, siriis trayts-
