somewhat " obscurely stained with streaks of blue- 

 black, lip and columella pale rose.

dark painting is somewliat obscui-e and has a mottled 



appearance.

BuLlMUS L.ETUS. Bill, testd acuminato-oblonyd, vix iivi- 

 bilicata, mifractibus sex, ItBvibus vel temclstriatis, colu-

The cheekpul Bultmus. Shell acuminately oblong, 

 scarcely umbilicated, whorls six in number, smooth 

 or finely striated, columella reflected, appressed, 

 aperture ovate, lip scarcely reflected ; chestnut-fawn 

 colour, encircled by two narrow yellowish-white 

 zones, lip and columella rose-pink. 



Hab. Sebundoi, New Granada. 



From the same locality as the preceding speeies; and 



very closely allied ; it diflers, however, in form. Mr. 



Taylor has a specimen collected independently of this, of 



exactly similar pattern and colour. 



Species 617. (Mus. Cuming.)

 effiiso ; pellucido-albd, ad umbilicmn alqtie pone labrum 

 nigricante-custaneo tinctd. 



The concealed Bulimus. Shell cylindricaUy fusi-

 umbUicated, whorls nine in number, flatly convex, 

 superficially channelled at the sutures, aperture

 transparent white, stained with dark chestnut at 

 the umbilicus, and behind the lip. 



IM. Brazil. 



Allied in form and general aspect to B. Baldeusis, but 

 differing materially in the character of the aperture.

 crassiusculd, basi compresse timbilicatd, anfractibus 

 octo, plano-convexis, oblique tenuistriatis, aperturd

 incrassuto ; corneo-olivaced, dentibus labroque albis. 



The five-toothed Bulimus. Shell cylindrical, rather 

 thick, base compressly umbilicated, whorls eight in 

 number, flatly convex, obliquely finely striated, aper- 

 ture small, contracted, five- or six-toothed, lip flatly 

 thickened ; horny olive, teeth and lip wliite.

A shell of rather solid cylindrical growth, with the 



ajierture much contracted. 



Species 619. (Mus. Benson.) 

 Bulimus pretiosus. Bui. testd cylindraceo-ovatd, com- 

 presse umbilieatd, anfractibus lavibus aut tenuistriatis, 

 columelld late verticaliter dilatatd, aperturd parvius-

 pressly umbilicated, whorls smooth or finely striated, 

 columella broadly vertically dilated, aperture rather 

 small, nearly orbicular, lip thinly reflected ; pale 

 horny, transparent, waved with numerous opake-

 Cantor, MS. 



Hab. Field of Chillianwalla, India (found on Mimosa 

 bushes on the banks of the Jhelum) ; Cantor. 

 An extremely delicate and interesting species, allied to 

 B. rnfistrigatus, from which it differs slightly in form, but 

 most distinctly in pattern. Mr. Benson, to whom it was 

 communicated by Dr. Cantor, informs me that it was col- 

 lected during the late campaign of the British army in 

 the Punjab, on the plain of Chillianwalla, the locality of 

 Lord Goudi's dearlv purchased victory.
