 The Clausilia-like Bulimus. Shell elongately turre- 

 ted, soraewliat cylindi-ical, sinistral, compressly iim- 

 bHicated, whorls nine in number, obscurely ribbed 

 round the upper part, longitudinally very closely and 

 very minutely roughly striated, columella vertically 

 reflected, aperture somewhat square, lip simple ; 

 mouse-colour. 

 Hab. Andes of Casamarca, Peru ; W. I.oblj. 



Very like a Claimlia in form, and of a silken aspect, 

 arising out of the very close and minute developcmeut of 

 longitudinal striEe. 



Species 534. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Bulimus depstus. Bui. testa subacuminato-ovaM, com- 

 presse umbilicatd, anfractibus septem, rotmidatis, hcvi- 

 bus, superne depressiusculis, minide pUcato-croiulutis, 

 columelld reflexd, aperturd parvimctdd, labro simpUci ; 

 intus extusque ustulato-fuscd, hie illic saturcdiore 

 strigotu. 



The tanned Bulimus. Shell subacuminately ovate, 

 compressly umbilicated, whorls seven in number, 

 sUgbtly depressed round the upper part, minutely 

 pbcately crenulated, columella reflected, aperture 

 rather small, lip simple ; light scorched brown within 

 and without, streaked here and there of a darker 

 colour. 



Hal. Chachapoyas, Alto-Peru ; W. Lobb. 



A thin shell approaching in form and colouring to the 

 Bulimus mix, from which it difli'ers in being of a lighter 

 structure and having a more rounded aperture. 



Species 535. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Bulimus nigropileatus. Bui. testd acntninato-ovatd, 

 sulxnnpUter umbilicatd, anfractibus septem, conve.vis, 

 obtuse suhrugoso-siriatis, columelld cerlicaliter rejlcrd.

aperti'ni ocali, labro simpUci; albidd, basin versus 

 obsolete fusco-fasciatd, apice nigro. 



The black-tipped Bulimus. Shell acuminately ovate, 

 rather largely umbQicated, whorls seven in number, 

 convex, obtusely somewhat roughly striated, colu- 

 mella vertically reflected, aperture oval, lip simple ; 

 whitish, obsoletely banded witli brown towards the 

 base, apex black. 



Hab. Chachapoyas, Alto-Peru ; W. Lobb. 



It is probable from the faintly banded appearance of 

 this shell, that this is but the jjale variety of a darker 

 tvpe.

The pitted Bulimus. Shell oblong-ovate, rather thin, 

 slightly ventricose, not umbilicated, olituse at the 

 apex, whorls five to six in number, convex, longitu- 

 dinally obtusely plicately striated, spirally engraved 

 with lines of oblong punctm'es, plicately crenulated 

 beneath the sutures, peculiarly pitted towards the 

 apes, sutm-es rude, last whoi-l descending obliquely, 

 columella broad, rather depressed, obliquely receding,

Ilab. Yitoe, near Sarma, Alto-Peru ; W. Lobb. 



This is the species which Dr. PfcifTcr has assigned to 

 the Bulimus Mahogani, of Sowerby, Conch. Illus. f. 59, 

 of which I can find no description or tidings.
