Species 319. (Sins. Cuming.) 



BuLiMUS FABREFACTUS. £ul. teM pyramidaU, ad basin 

 amjulato-compressd et umbilicatd, anfractibus septem, 

 loyigUudinaliter rugoso-driatis et inequaliter indentatis, 

 columella rejlexd, aperturd ad basin canaliculatd, labro 

 simplici; albidd, ftisco subtiliter et creberrime strigatd, 

 strigis ad angulum basalem tantum descendentibm, co- 

 lumdld palUde rosacea, aperturce fauce ccernlescente. 



The curiously-formed Bulimus. Shell pyramidal, 

 angularly compressed and umbilicated at the base, 

 whorls seven in number, longitudinally roughly stri- 

 ated and irregularly indented, columella reflected, 

 apertm-e channelled at the base, lip simple ; whitish, 

 finely and closely streaked with brown, the streaks 

 descending only to the basal angle, columella tinged 

 wnth pink, interior of the aperture bluish. 



Eah. Province of Merida, New Granada ; Linden. 



Of the same peculiarly angled structure at the base as 



the B. canaliculatus, from which it is amply distinguished 



by its more elongated form, solid growth, and difi'erent 



style of colouring. 



Species 320. (Fig. a and h, ilus. Cuming.) 



Bulimus virgulatus. Bui. testa acuminato-oblongd, vix 

 umbilicatd, anfractibus septem, lesvibus, aperturd ovatd, 

 labro simplici ; albd, fasciis castaneis interruptis varie 

 dispositis, interdum rufescente-croced, immaculatd. 



The striped Bulimus. Shell acuminately oblong, 

 scarcely umbOicated, whorls seven in number, smooth, 

 aperture ovate, lip simple ; white, with internipted 

 chesnut bands, variously disposed, sometimes of a 

 rich reddish saffron, unspotted. 



Cochlogena virgulata, Eerussac, Hist. Moll. pi. 142, B. 

 f. 1-7. 

 Bidiimis Caribheornm, Lamarck. 



Hah. West Indies. 



Extremely variable both in colour and pattern. 



The mottled Bulimus. Shell ovate, thin, ventricose, 

 scarcely umbUicated, whorls six in number, obliquely 

 very closely striated, lip thin, simple ; whitish, lon- 

 gitudinally blotched and waved with blackish-blue. 



Helix Uta, Ferussac, Prodrome, p. Si. 

 BuUmns litwatus, Spix. 

 Bulimus magtts, Wagner. 



Hab. Brazil. 



Very closely allied to the B.papgraceus, which it is not 

 improbable may be another state of the species. 



Species 321. (Mas. Cuming.) 

 Bulimus litus. Bui. testd oblongo-ovatd, ienui, ventricosd, 

 vix umbilicatd, anfractibus sex, oblique creberrime stri- 

 atis, labro tenui simplici; albidd, nigricanfe-ceeruleo 

 longitudinaliter maculatd et undatd.

Species 323. (Mus. Cuming.) 

 Bulimus miltocheilus. Bui. testd acuminato-oblongd, 

 subcylindraced, umbilicatd, anfractibus sex, leevigatis, 

 semipellucidis, nitentibus, longitudinaliter peculiariter 

 pUcatis, columelld late reflexd, aperturd oblongd, labro 

 rcjiexo ; cereo-alhd, labro intense coccineo-miniato. 

 The vermilion-lip Bulimus. Shell acuminately oblong, 

 somewhat cylindi-ical, umbilicated, whorls sis in 

 number, smooth, semitransparent, shining, longitudi- 

 nally peculiarly plaited, columella broadly reflected, 

 apertm-e oblong, lip reflected ; waxen-white, lip deep 

 scarlet-vermUlon. 

 Hab. San Christoval, south-eastern island of Solomon's 

 Group, noi-th-east coast of New Holland. 

 A shell of cm-iously plaited growth, remarkable for us 

 semipellucid wax-like appearance, with which its rich 

 vermilion lip presents a notable contrast. Mi-. Cuming 

 possesses several specimens from the above named locality, 

 all in the same condition, which seems perfectly natural 

 and not the result of any artificial clearing. 



Species 323. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Bulimus rhodostoma. Bui. testd ovatd, subventricosd, 

 umbilicatd, anfractibus sex, longitudinaliter subrude 

 striatis, ad suturas crenulatis, columelld reflexd, labro 

 simplici ; roseo-bninnesceute. 



The rose-mouth Bulimus. Shell ovate, rather ventri- 

 cose, umbilicated, whorls six in number, longitudinally 

 somewhat nidely striated, crenulated at the sutures ; 

 columella reflected, lip simple ; rose-brown.
