Species 460. (Mus. Cuming.) 

 BuLiMUS DMBiLiCARis. Bid. testd pyramidali-coiiicd, 

 profundmurie et amplissimi nmbilicatd, anfractibus sex 

 ad septan, compresslssimis, concentrice striatis, suturis 

 impressis, aperturd anguste ovall, labro subexpanso ; 

 pallide corneo-cinered. 

 The umbilical Bulimus. Shell pyramidally conical, 

 very deeply and largely lunbilicated, whorls six to 

 seven in number, very compressed, concentrically 

 striated, sutures impressed, aperture naiTow-oval, lip 

 slightly expanded ; pale flesh-tinged ash. 

 Souleyet, Revue Cuvierieune, 1843, p. 103. 

 Hab. Cobija, Bolivia. 



This species is remarkable for its very capacious umbi- 

 licus, the whorls being so much compressed as to form a 

 hollow cone. 



Species 461. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Bulimus variatus. Bui. testd cylmdraceo-oblongd, crassi- 

 uscidd, couipresse nmbilicatd, anfractibus se})tem, oblique 

 striatis, aperturd parvd, columelld labroque refiexis ; 

 brmined, striyis lutescentibus oblique variegatd. 



The varied Bulimus. Shell cyHndi-icaUy oblong, 

 rather thick, compressly umbibeated, whorls seven in 

 number, obliquely striated, aperture small, lip and 

 columella reflected ; dark brown, obliquely variegated 

 with yellowish streaks. 



Webb and Berthelot, Syn. p. 326. 



Hub. Canary Islands. 



There appears to be a slight yellowish epidermis. 



Species 463. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Bulimus Gossei. Bui. testd cylindraceo-turritd, com- 

 presse umbilicatd, apice attenuate, anfractibus undecim, 

 angustis, subrotundatis, peroblique costulato-striatis, 

 suturis cremdatis, aperturd circulari, columelld labroque 

 paultdum expansis; griseo-cinerascente, strigis seniilu- 

 naribus albls,fusco-umbratk, punclisque fiiscis, oriiatd, 

 fusco pellucido. 



Gosse's Bulimus. Shell cylindrically turreted, com- 

 pressly umbilicated, apex attenuated, whorls eleven 

 in number, narrow, somewhat rounded, very ob- 

 liquely sculptured with flue rib-like stri;e, sutures 



creniilatcd, aperture circidar, lip and columella a 

 little expanded ; greyish-ash, ornamented ^\'ith brown 

 dots and white semilunar streaks shaded with brown, 

 the brown being transparent. 

 Pfeiffer, Pro. Zool. Soc, 1845. p. 137. 

 Hab. Jamaica; Gosse. 



The interesting new species of Bulimus and Achatiiia 

 collected by Mi-. Gosse in the Island of Jamaica, whilst 

 engaged in ornithological pursuits, present an honourable 

 testimony of his zeal in natural science, and furnish an 

 example of what may be done by an active collector, with 

 eyes to observe, and a mind to comprehend, the minute 

 forms of animal life. 



Species 463. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Bulimus Kieneri. Bui. testd cylindraceo-turritd, com- 

 press} umbilicatd, apice attenuato, anfractihus iredecim, 

 subrotundatis, peroblique cosfuJnto-sfriafis, suturis cre- 

 mdatis, aperturd circtdari, i-nlniiicllii hihroqne sube.v-

 rate umbratis, ornatd. 



Kiener's Bulimus. SheU cylindrically turreted, com- 

 pressly umbilicated, apex attenuated, whorls thirteen 

 in number, somewhat rounded, very obliquely stri- 

 ated in a rib-like manner, sutures crenulated, aperture 

 circular, lip and columella a little expanded ; 

 brownish-horny, ornamented with semilunar white 

 spots shaded with darker brown. 



Pfeiffer, Pro. Zool. Soc, 1846, p. 40. 



Hab. Honduras. 



It is somewhat doubtful whether this is anything more 

 than a local variety of the B. Gossei of Jamaica. 



Species 464. (Mus. Cuming.) 

 Bulimus zebriolus. Bui. testd cylindraceo-elongatd, 

 Pupa-formi, late timbiUcatd, anfractibus decern, oblique 

 subobscure striatis, aperturd subquadratd, tridentatd, 

 mnrginibus subexpan-sis, callo conjunctis ; cretaceo-albd, 

 strigis ungustisfuscis oblique notatd. 

 The striped Bulimus. Shell cylindrically elongated, 

 Pupa-shaped, broadly umbilicated, whorls ten in 

 number, obliquely rather obscurely striated, aperture 



somewhat square, three-toothed, margins a lift
