OF CONOHOLOGY. 235 



decorticated, less than a third the length of the shell ; whorls 

 5J, strongly con'vex, last one large, ventricose, deeply umbilicate ; 

 suture rudely crenulate ; aperture large, ovate, subvertical, yel- 

 lowish or reddish horn color within; peristome orange-red, 

 slightly labiate within, reflected; columella broadly expanded 

 over the umbilicus, with a very oblique orange-red fold; parietal 

 region more or less callosed, orange-red. 



Length, 53 mill.; diam., 29 mill. 



Habitat, Vanna Levu Isl., Viti Isls. (Coll. Garrett and Philad. 



Acad.) 



This magnificent species is remarkable for its extremely short 

 spire and rich orange-red lips. It is confined to that part of 

 Vanna Levu lying to the southward of Natawa Bay, where it is 

 abundant among decayed wood and under dead leaves. It diifers 

 from elobatus, Gld., in its much shorter spire, more ventricose 

 body, more expanded and richer colored lips. There occurs, 

 though very rarely, a pale variety with light green markings 

 and whitish or greenish-white aperture. 



Bulimus Guanensis, Garrett. Plate 18, fig. 8. 



Shell narrowly perforate, oblong-ovate or elongate-ovate, thin, 

 subpellucid, somewhat glossy, obsoletely striated, transversely 

 rugosely wrinkled, whitish, yellowish or reddish horn color, 

 adorned with beautiful longitudinal zigzag olive-green or brown- 

 ish-green stripes, which are often shaded off with white ; spire 

 convexly conical, obtuse, decorticated, little less than half the 

 length of the shell ; whorls 4 — 5, convex : last one but slightly 

 swollen, somewhat attenuated at the base ; aperture subvertical, 

 more or less oblong-ovate, tawny-yellow or reddish, rarely white 

 within ; peristome slightly labiate within, more or less expanded, 

 thin, varying from a rich tawny-yellow to a fine orange-red ; col- 

 umella considerably expanded, with a compressed whitish spiral 

 fold. 



Length, -tl mill.; diam., 20 mill. 



Habitat, Guan Isl. Viti Isles. (Coll. Garrett and Phila. Acad.) 



This elegant species is peculiar to the above location, where 

 it is abundant on the trunks and foliage of trees and bushes. 



It may be distinguished from B. fulguratus, by its thinner and 

 more slender shell, smaller rugosities, more delicate markings, 

 less reflected lip, more compressed columella fold, which is also 

 more oblique. The localities are also remote.
