Adams, Pro. Nat. Hist. Soc. Boston, 1845, p. 12. 



Hab. Jamaica. 



Named to denote its general resemblance with the 

 B. octoi/iis, which is referred to AcJiat'ma. 



I am indebted for eight of the species of this plate to 

 the kindness of Mr. C. B. Adams, Professor of Zoology, 

 &c., m Amherst College, Massachusetts. They were col- 

 lected during an excursion iu Jamaica, in company with 

 the Honourable Ma-. Chitty, Chaii-man of Quarter Sessions 

 in that Island, together with a number of interesting land 

 shells of other genera, which Mr. Adams is preparing for 

 pubhcatiou in a periodical pamplilet form, under the title 

 of ' Contributions to Coiichology.' 



Species 620. (Mus. Adams.) 

 PuLiMUs TEREBELLA. Bill, testd mibuMd, anfractibds 

 ocio, coiivcxiiiscii/is, concentrice inipresso-driatis, colu- 

 mella tenne reflexd, aperturd parvd, labro simplici ; 

 sordide fuscescenle . 

 The little augur Bulimus. Shell subulate, whorls 

 eight in number, rather convex, concentrically im- 

 pressly striated, columella thinly reflected, apertiu-e 

 small, lip simple ; dull brownish. 

 Adams, MS. 

 Hab. Jamaica. 



This is the most elongated form of the Jamaica type, 

 of light diaphanous growth, concentrically impressly stri- 

 ated. It is very minute, and, with the rest of the species 

 of this plate, considerably magnified. 



Species 621. (Mus. Cuming.) 

 Bulimus Goodallii. Bui. testd conico-elontjatd, km 

 umbilicatd, anfractibus septem, couvexiusculis, lavibus, 



roluwe/id siibronfor/ii, Iciiiu- ri'Jlf.n'i , iiiicrhirii parra, 



labro simpUfl : pclliiciilii-i'driicii. 

 Goodall's BuLi.Mi s. Shell couiciilly rliniu.ited. scarcely 



umbOicated, whorls seven iu nuniljcr, slightly convex, 



smooth, columella somewhat twisted, thinly reflected, 



aperture small, lip simple ; transparent horny. 

 Helix Goodallii, Miller, Ann. Phil. 1822, p. 381. 



Bulimus Goodallii, Gray. 



Helix {CocJilicella) rlrwulus, Ferussac. 



Bulimus chwuUii us, Potic/, and Micliaud. 



Buliuuis pumilus, Pfeitt'er. 

 Hab. West Indies. 



This little species, being transported IVoni Jamaica, has 

 become partially naturalized in this country, and is in- 

 eluded by some authors in the British fauna. It is found 

 abundantly in the pine-pits at Bristol, especially on the 

 sides of the pots, where they are immersed in the deeavcd 

 bark. 



Species 632. (Miis. Adams.) 



Bulimus mirabilis. Bui. testd pp-amidali-couicd, an- 

 fractibus octo, rotiindatis, superne squamis grandibus 

 ereclis undiApie pecuUariter coronatis, columelld con- 

 to rtd, aperturd parvd, medio contracld; carneo-fus- 

 cescente. 



The wonderful Bulimus. Shell pyramidally conical, 

 whorls eight in number, rounded, peculiarly coro- 

 nated throughout with large erect scales, columella 

 twisted, aperture small, contracted in the middle ; 

 light flesh-brown. 



Adams, MS. 



Hnb. Jamaica. 



The whorls in this remarkable species are contracted iu 



the middle, and the upper portion is prominently coronated 



throughout with broad vaulted scales. 



The three following Bulimi of Adams are numbered to 

 belong to AcJiatiua, under which genus the deseriptious 

 arc given at PL XXII. 



Species 633. (Mus. Adams.) 

 Bulimus minimus. But. testd subulatd, spirce snturis 

 subiiupressis, anfractibus septem, subrotuudiilis, cun- 



December, 1849.
