The painting of this species aff'ords a character in being 

 marked only above the line which encircles the nhorl at 

 the sutm-es.

The spots arising out of the interrupted character of the 



bands are disposed obliquely.

 lai-gely mnbilicated, whoris seven to eight in number, 

 flatly convex, smooth or very minutely striated, colu-

 Hab. Curiana, Venezuela (on the leaves of Palms) ; Dyson. 

 One of the most interesting of the many beautifid 

 species of shells collected by Mr. Dyson during liis recent 

 expedition to Venezuela. It is very closely allied to 

 B. Kiiorri, but may be readily distinguished by its abrupt 

 angular growth at the base, and large umbilicus.

Bulimus Mexicanus, Valenciennes (not of Lamarck) in 

 Ihuub. Voy. Zool. vol. ii. p. St?, pi. 50. f. 1, 



Hab. .Mexico; Humboldt. 



This shell, an authentic specimen of Humboldt's species, 



received by Mr. Cimiing from Paris, is essentially distinct 



from Lamarck's B. Me.ricanus (PL XL. Sp. 244), though 



resembling it in general aspect.
