LIST OF SPECIES OP BULIMUS INHABITING THE VITI 

 ISLANDS, WITH NOTES ON THEIR GEOGRAPHICAL 

 RANGE, AND DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES.

 of Tahiti. South Seaa. 



Having devoted over two years to a conchological exploration 

 of the Viti Islands, I am enabled to give with more precision 

 than hitherto known, the localities, station and range of the 

 various species. They, like the Partulse and Achatinellse, may 

 be divided into arboreal and terrestrial species ; the former 

 living on the trunks and foliage of various trees and bushes, and 

 the latter on the ground, lurking among dead leaves, under de- 

 cayed wood and under stones. All the species exhibit (in a 

 greater or less degree), the peculiar rugose surface so well 

 marked in B. malleatus and B. fulguratus. The markings are 

 also peculiar, being more or less zigzag, and generally of a green- 

 ish hue ; and all have a strong columella fold.

This arboreal species is abundant, and is confined to the island 

 of Ovalan, and the eastern end of Viti Levu ; the latter is its 

 metropolis.

Rev. Zool. p. 80, 1842. 



This elegant species is also arboreal, and though less abun- 

 dant, occupies the same locations as the preceding species. 

 Specimens frequently occur of a pure uniform white, like most 

 examples of B. morosus, Gld.
