BULIMUS.— Plate LIX. 



This well-known species is very generally distributed 

 throughout Germany and other parts of Central Eiu-ope. 



Species 400. (Mus. Cuming.) 



BvLiMUS HoNDTJRASANDS. Bill, testd subocuminato- 

 oblonga, tenuicidd, timiilicatd, anfractibm sex, con- 

 vexiuscuUs, l/eviius, columella late refiexd, labro sim- 

 plici ; pellucido-flavescente, roseo-fnsco trifasciatd. 



The Honduras Bulijius. Shell somewhat acuminately 

 oblong, rather thin, umbilicated, whorls six in immber, 

 rather convex, smooth, columella broadly reflected, 

 lip simple ; transparent yellowish-white, encircled by 

 three rose-brown bands. 



Pfeiffer, Pro. Zool. Soc, 1846, p. 29. 



Hub. Honduras ; Dyson. 



A very delicate transparent rose-tinged shell. 



Species 401. (Mus. Cuming.) 

 BuLlMUS SORDIDCS. Bill, testd conico-ovatd, teniii, sub- 

 ampliter umbilicatd, anfractibus sex ad septetn, rotun- 

 datis, creberrime fortiter elevato-striatis, coliimelld late 

 expansd, vix refiexd, labro temii, simplici ; sordkle 

 fused. 

 The sordid Bulimus. Shell couically ovate, thin, 

 rather largely umbilicated, whorls six to seven in 

 niunber, rounded, very closely strongly elevately 

 striated, columella broadly expanded, scarcely re- 

 flected, lip thin, simple ; didl brown.

 Hab. Euvii-ons of Lima. 



It has been supposed that Mr. Broderip's Bulimus Pro- 

 teus is the B. sordidus of Lesson; but Dr. Pfeiffer has 

 shown it to be a distinct species, as the authentic specimen 

 here figm-ed, obtained by Jlr. Cuming from those collected 



by M. Lesson, sufficiently verifies. The name sordidus 

 applied to Sp. 100, must therefore be cancelled in favour 

 of Mr. Broderip's very significant title of Proteus. 



Species 403. (Mus,,Cuming.) 



Bulimus constrictus. Bui. testd subcylindraceo-ovatd, 

 soUdiusculd, profundi iinibilicatd, spirce suturis im- 

 pressis, anfractibus septem, convexis, tetiuissime striatis, 

 columelld late expansd, aperturd parviusculd, sub- 

 reflexd ; opaco-albd. 



The constricted Bulimus. Shell somewhat cylindri- 

 eally ovate, rather solid, deeply umbilicated, sutures 

 of the spire impressed, whorls seven in number, con- 

 vex, very finely striated, columella broadly expanded, 

 aperture rather small, with the lip a little reflected ; 

 opake white. 



Pfeiffer, Symbote. vol. i. p. 43. 

 Bulimus Angosturensis, Gruner. 



Hab. Angostura. 



Dr. Pfeiffer describes this species as having a liorny 



epidermis. 



Species 403. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Bulimus Sprattii. Bui. testd subgloboso-ovatd, solidius- 

 culd, turgidd, umbilicatd, anfractibus sex, longitudin- 

 aliter ruguloso-plicatis, columella late expansd, labro 

 subrefiexo ; albidd, epidermide tenui corned olivaced 

 partim indutd. 



Spratt's Bulimus. Shell somewhat globosely ovate, 

 rather solid, swollen, umbilicated, whorls six in 

 number, longitudinally rather roughly plicated, colu- 

 mella broadly expanded, lip slightly reflected ; whitish, 

 partially covered with a thin horny olive epidermis.

Hab. Asia Minor, Pisidia ; Forbes. Lycia; Spratt. 

 A turgid delicately plicated species of very distinct form.
