Hab. Greece. 



Dr. Pfeiffer quotes the Pw/xz/'wi/omw of Deshayes as 



a synonyme of this species, but it does not agree with the 



description.

An exceedingly delicate shell, having the appearance of 

 light green glass. 



Species 488. (Mus. Cuming.)

Hab. ? 



Dr. Pfeiffer's description of this species is inadvertently 

 referred to at PI. LV. Sp. 367, owing to his having taken 

 it to be the B. interstinctus of Goidd ; arising probably 

 from the displacement of a label in Mr. Cuming's cabinet. 

 Dr. Pfeift'er does not appear to have seen Dr. Goidd's des- 

 cription of that species, and I have been equally unsuc- 

 cessfid myself in finding it. 



The shell described and figured at PI. LV. Sp. 367, was 

 received from Dr. Gould by JIi-. Cuming with the name 

 B. interstinctus attached to it, and he has also received 

 specimens from Mr. Redfield of the United States similarly 

 named. 



Species 489. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Bulimus Bergeri. Bul. testd cylindraceo-turritd, mi- 

 nute umbilicatd, anfractibtis novem, planiconvexis, ob- 

 lique striatis, columelld latiusculd, aperturd parvd, 

 tridentatd; fuscescente-corned, dentihus alhidis. 



Beroer's Bulimus. Shell cylindrically turreted, mi- 

 nutely umbilicated, whorls nine in number, flatly 

 convex, obliquely striated, columella rather broad, 

 aperture small, three-toothed; brownish horn-colour, 

 teeth white.

 Pupa Bergeri, Uoth. 

 Pupa tridentata, Anton. 

 Pupa tricuspis, Rossmasler. 

 Bulimtis tridentatus, Parreyss. 



Hab. Greece, Egypt, &c. 



I follow Dr. Pfeiffer in referring this species to Bulimus, 



but it seems really a matter of indifference whether it is 



included in this genus or in Pupa.
