932 HELIX. 



Inhabits Cayenne, Surinam, Guinea, St. Domingo, and Ja- 

 maica. Chemnitz. St. Vincent's. Humphreys. Forests of 

 Cayenne, and the Island of St. Thomas on the coast of Afri- 

 ca. Bruguiere. 



Shell about three and a half inches long, and rather more than 

 half as broad, and of a pale reddish brown or tawny colour, 

 becoming paler at the sutures ; it is nearly allied to H. ova- 

 ttty but may be at once distinguished by the aperture, which 

 is smaller in proportion to the size of the shell, and has the 

 lip of an equal thickness throughout ; H. ovata is also more 

 ventricose, and has the pillar white. The egg of this species 

 is remarkably large, and is about three-quarters of an inch 

 long, and two-thirds as broad ; it has been figured by Lister, 

 and also by Mr. Mawe in his Account of the Brazils ; and 

 Favanne, t. 80. f. P, exhibits the young shell bursting from 

 the egg.

Shell about three inches long, and sixteen lines broad, glabrous, 

 white, and prettily marked with irregularly undulated longi- 

 tudinal reddish brown stripes ; it has nine whirls, and a pro- 

 duced spire ; the aperture oval, somewhat dilated at the base, 

 and the throat bluish ; the pillar is said to be slightly truncat- 

 ed, which indicates a close affinity with the Bulla Zebra.
