 Pfeiffer, Symbote, vol. i. p. 4.3. 

 Hab. Mexico. 



This remarkable species, for the loan of which I am 

 indebted to Dr. Pfeiffer, does not appear to have reached 

 maturity. It is not known to English collectors. 



Species 500. (PL Achatbm, XVI. Fig. 77, 

 Mus. Cuming.) 

 Bulimus clava. Bui. testd subulatd, apice papillari, 

 liaud umbilicatd, anfractibtm decern, lavibus, politis, kic

 The club Bulimus. Shell subulate, papillary at the 

 apex, not umbUieated, whorls ten in number, smooth, 

 polished, here and there longitudinally impressly 

 striated, sutures margined, columella thin, but Kttle 

 reflected, aperture rather small, lip simple; trans- 

 pareut horny. 



Hab. ? 



The columella of this species is extremely thinly re- 

 flected, and the outer lip is rather inclined to be siuuatcd 

 at the upper part. 



Species 501. (PL Achathm, XYII. Fig. 81. 

 Mus. Cuming.) 

 Bulimus CEREUS. Bid. testd subulatd, iwibilicatd, tenui.

 atis, columelld reflexd, apei'tm-d parvd, labro simplici ,

 The waxen Bulimus. Shell subulate, umbilicated, thin 



whorls ten in number, convex, arcuately concen- 

 trically striated, columella reflected, aperture small, 

 lip simple ; transparent straw-colour. 



Hab. Moradabad, India. 



I venture to distinguish this from the B. gracilis, from 



which, in comparison with authentic specimens collected 



by Ml'. Benson, it varies in form, the whorls being of a 



more bubble-Uke inflated growth. 



Species 502. {V\. Acliatiiia, XVIII, Fig. 95. 

 Mus. Cuming.) 



Bulimus columella. Bui. testd su/jiilntd, hand umbili- 

 catd, apice papillari, aiifractibus umlecim ad duodecim, 

 miiiutissii.ii ohUi[iw slriatis, ad sitturas subtiliter cre- 

 nulatis, columella vi.v reflexd, aperturd parvd, labro

The little column Bulimus. Shell subulate, not um- 

 bilicated, papillary at the apex, whorls eleven to 

 twelve in number, very minutely obliquely striated, 

 finely crenulated at the sutures, columella but little 

 reflected, aperture sinaU, lip simple ; transparent 

 horny, shiuing. 



Philippi, Abbdd. und Besch. Bui. pi. 2. f. 7. 



Hab. Brazil. 



This approaches very closely to the B. sylmticus. It 



is a transparent turreted shell, very finely striated and 



delicately puckered at the sutm-es. 



Species 503. (PL Acliatina, XX. Fig. 113. Mus. Cuming.) 



Bulimus Jamaicensis. Bui. testd subulatd, augustd, 

 hand umbilicatd, anfractibus octo,planicouvexis, kic illic

 here and there impressly striated, columella thinly 

 reflected, apertm-e very small, lip simple ; transparent
