Mr.W. H. Benson on new Species o/Bulimus. 327 



WIY.—Neio Species of Bulinius from India, Burma, and the 

 Mauritius. Described by W. H. Benson, Esq. 



Bulimus Domina, B., n. s. 



Testa sinistrorsa, rimato-perforata, ovato-cyliiidrica, oblique striatula, 

 albida, strigis obliquis, nifo-corneis picta; spira cylindrica, superne 

 celeriter attenuata, apice acutiusculo ; suturaimpressa; anfractibus 

 8 convexiusculis, ultimo f testae vix tequante, basi rotundata ; 

 apertura vix obliqua, semiovali ; peristoraate uudique expanso, 

 margiuibus conniventibus, callo brevi junctis, sinistro superne 

 arcuato, columellari dilatato. 

 Long. 23, diam. 9 mill. ; long, apert. 9, lat. 6 mill. 

 Hab. in regione Caslimiriana. 



This species, collected by Lady Gomm, is an important addi- 

 tion to the sinistral group inhabiting the Western Himalaya, 

 and consisting of B. Kunawurensis, liutton, Nivicola, B., arcu- 

 atus and Vibex, Hutton, &c. Another conspicuous Bulimus of 

 the same type, B. candelaris, Pfr., had been previously sent to 

 me from the same region, and Dr. Thomson also met with it at 

 Tukhti Suleiman. The habitat was unknown to PfeifFer. Reeve 

 conjectured that it was from the confines of Europe and Asia. 



Bulimus salsicola, B., n. s. 



Testa rimata, ovato-cylindrica, tenui, sursum conica, Iseviuscula, 

 oblique obsolete striatula, albida, maculis quibusdam translucen- 

 tibus obscuris notata ; sutura impressiuscula ; apice subpapillari, 

 obtusiusculo ; anfractibus 6^ planiusculis, ultimo \ testte super- 

 ante subtus prope rimam compressiusculo ; apertura vix obliqua, 

 truncato-ovata ; peristomate plane reflexo, margiuibus conniventi- 

 bus, dextro arcuato, callo parietali brevissimo, crassiusculo, tuber- 

 culum obsoletum angularem exhibente, junctis. 



Long. 18, diam. 8 mill.; long, apert. 8, diam. 6 mill. 



Hab. in montibus salsiferis Pentepotamiee Indicse. Teste W. Theo- 

 bald. 

 It is possible that this shell may exhibit coloured markings, 



like those of some other Punjab species, B. pretiosus, Sindicus, 



&c., when in finer condition. It has a strong resemblance in 



form to the larger B. Bertheloti, Pfr., and is also allied to the 



Levantine B. Ehrenbergi of the same author. 



Bulimus Estellus, B., n. s. 



Testa arete perforata, oblonga, cylindrica, subremote spiraHter sulcu- 

 losa, interstitiis confertissime costulato-striolatis, albida; spira cylin- 

 dracea, apice conico, acutiusculo ; sutura impressa ; anfractibus 8 

 vix convexiusculis, ultimo antice ascendente, i testae parum
