Adams, MSS. 



Hab. Jamaica. 



An interesting species, for wliich I am indebted to Mr. 



Adams, of Jamaica, allied to B. stramineus, but of rather 



stouter substance and more acuminated growth.

 pellucido-stramined, suturis indistincte albimarffinatis, 

 apice nigro. 



The straw-coloured Bulimus. Shell acuminately ovate,

Bulimus spretus. Bul. testd pyramidall-conicd, solidi- 

 usculd, anfractiius sex ad septem, plano-convexis, sub

Hab. Island of llomblon, Philippines ; Cuming. 



This species, of which Mr. Cuming collected several 

 species, has been confounded with B. citicinnus, from 

 which it differs principally in being of a more truly conical 

 form.
