OF OONCHOLOGY. 233 



ruddy horn color, with delicate greenish marblings ; spire short, 

 convexly conoid, obtuse, about two fifths the length of the shell ; 

 whorls five and a half, strongly convex, last rather swollen, 

 stoutly ovate ; aperture subvertical, ovate, rich saffron yellow 

 within ; peristome rather thin, but slightly expanded, somewhat 

 sinuous, deeper colored than the fauces ; columella expanded, 

 with a very oblique dark saffron compressed fold. 



Length 29 mill., diam. 16 mill. 



Habitat, Tavinni Island, Viti Islands. 



(Coll. Garrett and Phila. Academy.) 



This, the smallest known Viti Bulimus, is abundant on trees 

 and low bushes. A few examples were gathered on the con- 

 tiguous island of Gomea, but the above island is the metropolis 

 of the species. 



Bulimus Rambiensis, Garrett. Plate 18, fig. 4. 



Shell narrowly perforate, oblong, ovate, rather thin, subpel- 

 lucid, obsoletely rudely striated with lines of growth, rugose 

 with small transverse wrinkles, whitish, yellowish or reddish- 

 horn color, and more or less adorned with small olive green 

 mottlings ; spire moderately elevated, convexly conical, obtuse, 

 decorticated, first two whorls minutely punctured ; whorls five, 

 convex, last one large, ovate; aperture subvertical, ovate, yel- 

 lowish white, or bluish white within ; peristome rather thin, 

 slightly labiate within, more or less reflected, slightly sinuous 

 toward the base, orange yellow ; columella expanded, with a 

 rather large spiral fold. 



Length 38 mill., diam. 20 mill. 



Habitat, Rambi Id., Viti Isles. (Coll. Garrett and Philada. 

 Acad.) 



The metropolis of this species is Rambi Island, where it is 

 abundant on trees and bushes. It is more closely allied to B. 

 Gruanensis, nob., than to any other species inhabiting the same 

 group. The locations are very remote. It differs from the lat- 

 ter in its more ventricose body, larger aperture, and the differ- 

 ent character of the mottlings. 



Bulimus crassilabrum, Garrett. Plate 18, fig. 5. 



Shell narrowly perforate, solid, oblong-ovate, whitish, or 

 ruddy white, under a yellowish horn colored epidermis, trans- 

 rersely minutely wrinkled ; spire rather short, convexly conical,
