PLATE XIII. 



1. BuLiMUS (EuEYTtJs) coRTicosus, n.sp. PI. XIIT. Fig. 2. 



Testa anguste perforata, ovato-conica, solida, undique minutissime 

 granulata, saturate fusca, punctis et flamraulis obscuris nigricantibus 

 aspersa; spira a(!ute conica ; anfractus 5, Icviter convex!; anfractiis 

 ultimus f longitudinis subgequans ; columella oblique crassiplicata ; 

 apertura ovalis, intus livida ; peristoma incrassatum, expanso-rellexum, 

 marginibus callo crassiusculo junctis, columellari dilatato, perfora- 

 tionem fere occultante. Long. 58, diam. 30 mm., apert. 26 longa, 

 intus 14 lata. 



JIab. — Bogota. 



Type in the collection of Mr. S. I. Da Costa. 



Compared with B. Lamarchianus, Pfr., the spire is much more 

 conical, and the mouth smaller. The new species is further dis- 

 tinguished by its thickened columella-fold. 



2. BuLiMULUS (Dkym^us) Buckleyi, n.sp. PI. XIII. Fig. 3. 

 Testa subperforata, elongata, tenuiuscula, nitens, luteo-albida, 



irregulariter sparsim f usco strigata ; spira elongata, obtusiuscula ; 

 anfractus 6, convexiusculi ; anfractus ultimus spiram paulo superans, 

 ad basin levissime attenuatus ; columella subplicata, oblique reccdens ; 

 apertura oblonga ; peristoma simplex, expansum, marginibus callo 

 tenui rufo-fusco junctis, columellari breviter reflexo, perforationem 

 fere claudente. Long. 27, diam. 9 mm. 



Hah. — Ecuador. 



Var. a. Straminea, fusco interruptim fasciata. PI. XIII. Fig. 4. 



Types in the collection of Mr. S. I. Da Costa. 



The shells were collected by Mr. C. Buckley in 1872, but not 

 mentioned in Mr. E. T. Higgins' paper.^ 



The form of the shell is about intermediate between B. fusoides and 

 B. castus. The colouration seems to consist generally of a few more 

 or less faint longitudinal streaks, but one of Mr. Da Costa's specimens 

 has interrupted transverse bands. 



3. BuLiMiNus (LEucoTiENius) Procteri, n.sp. PI. XIII. Fig. 9. 

 Testa anguste perforata, ovato-conica, crassa, laevigata, obsolete 



plicato- striata, pallide straminea, dilute fusco longitudinaliter strigata ; 

 spira conica, acutiuscula, ad apicem obtusa ; anfractus 7^ vix convexi ; 

 aufr. ult. ventrosus, valde convexus, spiram suba^quans, ad basin
