BULIML'S.— Plate XLVIII. 



Bob. Province of Con-ientes, Argentine Republic, Bolivia 

 (under dead leaves) ; D'Orbigny. 

 The chief specific peculiarity of this species resides in 

 the painting, which does not descend below the sutural line 

 of the whorls. 



Species 314. (Mus. Cuming.) 

 Bdlimds fekiatus. Bui. testa siibfiisiformi, vix umbili- 

 catd, arifradibm sex, subtiliter ruffoso-striatis, suturis 

 impresm, columella reflexd, aperturd parviusculd, labro 

 ewpamo ; fuscescente, fmeo strigatd et variegatd, 

 punctis albis aspend. 

 The unemployed Bulimus. Shell somewhat fusiform, 

 scarcely umbilicated, whorls six in number, finely 

 roughly striated, sutures impressed, columella re- 

 flected, apertiu-e rather small, lip expanded, light 

 brown, streaked and variegated with bright brown, 

 sprinkled ^vith white dots. 



Hab. ? 



Dr. Pfeifl"er, when in London, attributed this shell to 

 the B. lophoicus of D'Orbigny, but it fails to agree with 

 the description and figure of that species, and appears to 

 be equally distinct from all others. 



Species 315. (Mus. Benson.) 



BuLiMUS BoxTi.E. Bui. testa conico-ovatd, tenui, veutri- 

 cosd, subtiliter umbilicatd, anfractibus quinque, minute 

 oblique striatis, medio tumidis, injlatis, columella late 

 reftexd, labro tenui, expanso, non reflexo. 



The Bontia Bulimus. Shell conieally ovate, thin, ven- 

 tricose, finely umbilicated, whorls five in number, 

 minutely obliquely striated, swollen and inflated 

 roimd the middle, columella broadly reflected, lip 

 thin, expanded, not reflected. 



Helix Bontia, Chemnitz, Conch. Cab. vol. ix. p. 156. 

 pi. 134. f. 1216, 1317. 



Hob. Southern India ; Jerdon. 



An extremely rare species, though described upwards of 

 sixty years since by Chemnitz in liis Conchyben Cabinet. 

 The specimen here represented, for which I am indebted to 

 the kindness of Mr. Benson, was collected in Southern 

 India by Mr. Jerdon of Madras. 



vix umbilicatd, spiree suturis impressis, anfractibus sex, 

 couvexis, longitudinaliter crebeirime plicato-striatis, et 

 hie illic indentatis ; fuscescente-albidd. 



The puzzling Bulimus. Shell oblong-ovate, rather 

 thin, scarcely umbilicated, sutures of the spii-e im- 

 pressed, whorls six in number, convex, longitudinally 

 veiy closely plicately striated, and here and there 

 indented ; light brownish white. 



Eah. ? 



Tliis shell resembles M. D'Orbigny's B. Toralhji m 



form, but does not agree with it in the detail of character. 



Species 316. (Mus. Cuming.) 

 Bulimus confusus. Bui. testd oblongo-ovatd, tenuiculd. 



Species 317. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Bulimus Quitexsis. Bui. testa conico-ovatd, subampUter 

 umbilicatd, anfractibus septan, convexis, concetilrice 

 subrugoso-striatis ; columelld labroque vix reflexis ; 

 fuscescente castaneo-fusco hie illic strigatd, utnbilico 

 iiigricaide, columelld labroque purpureo-castaneis, ui- 

 tentibus. 



The Quito Bulimus. Shell conieally ovate, rather 

 largely umbilicated, whorls seven in number, convex, 

 concentrically rather roughly striated, lip and colu- 

 mella scarcely reflected ; light-brown, streaked here 

 and there with chesnut-brown, umbilicus blackish, 

 lip and columella shining purple chesnut. 



Pfeiffer, Pro. Zool. Soc, 1847. 



Hab. Quito, Ecpidjlic of Equador. 



The general aspect of this shell is not much unlike that 



of an immature PartulafaLa. 



Species 318. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Bulimus monilifer. Bui. testd subpyramidali-ovatd, 

 umbilicatd, avfractlbus convexis, lavibus, columelld 

 reflexd, aperturd subquadratd, labro simplici ; opaco- 

 albd, fasciis duabus iiderruptis aurantio-fmeis, valde 

 indistinctis, cingulatd, aperturd aurantio-tinctd. 



The necklace-bound Bulimus. Shell somewhat pyra- 

 midally ovate, umbilicated, whorls convex, smooth, 

 columella reflected, aperture somewhat square, Up 

 simple ; opake-white, encircled with two very in- 

 distinct inten'upted orange-brown bands, aperture 

 tinged with orange. 



Hab. ? 



Indistinctly encircled by two characteristic internq)ted 

 bands. The aperture is remarkable for the same lateral 

 compression as in the B. Ouadaloupemis.
