6t>8 BUCCINUM. 



Pheasant, is about two or three inches long, and half as 

 broad ; it is white, variously ornamented with narrow bands, 

 composed of red lines and crescent-shaped spots, and other 

 intermediate spots and lines of a pale olive or fawn-colour. 

 Gmelin says it is an intermediate species between Bucci- 

 num, Bulla, and Helix ; and some of the Genus Bulimus, 

 to which it probably belongs, have been placed in all these 

 genera.
