BULLIA Taheitensis. Bid. testa turritd, mifraetihim 

 rotundatis, tramverdm planiliratis, lirts confertissimis,

 ginosd. 



The Taheite Bullia. Shell turreted, whorls rounded, 

 transversely flatly ridged, ridges very close-set, two 

 or three next the suture more distant than the rest, 

 granose, excavated at the sides ; yellowish ash colour, 

 dotted here and there with orange brown, interior of

Hah. Taheite. 



The only species at present known in which the shell is 

 disposed in spii-al ridges. 



Species 12. (Mus. Cuming.) 



BuLLlA Matjkitiana. Bid. tedd subulato-ovatd, spit-fB 

 suturk subimpresds ; anfractibus lavigatk, poUtis, sub- 

 obsolete spiraliter mpresso-striatis, lird plana callosd 

 juxta suturam. ; pallide lividd. 



The Mauritius Bullia. Shell subulately ovate, sutures 

 of the spire somewhat impressed ; whorls smooth, 

 polished, rather obsoletely spii-ally impressly striated. 



with a flattened callous ridge next the sutm-e ; pale 



livid colour.

 Hab. Madagascar. 



Closely approximating to the B. Grayi, but is less ven- 

 tricose towards the base, whilst the spire is less aciculated 

 at the apex ; it is also uniformly smaller, although the spe- 

 cimens represented in the accompanying plate do not ex- 

 hibit that comparative difference of proportion. 



Species 13. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Bullia annulata. BhI. testa ovato-turritd, spires suturis 

 callosis, aufractibus snpra plano-depressis , anguli mar- 

 gine rotmidato, annulato, infra creberrime impresso- 

 striatis ,- pallide luteo-spadiced, colunwlld albd. 



The annulate Bullia. Shell ovately turreted, sutiu-es 

 of the spii-e callous, whorls flatly depressed round the 

 upper part, edge of the angle rounded, annulate, very 

 closely impressly striated beneath; light yellowish 

 bay, columella white.
