culo f longitudinis sequante, ad periphaeriam plerumque angulato ; 



apertura ampla, obliqua, truncato-pyriformi ; peristomate expanse, 



marginibus reflexis, callo tenui junctis, columellari superne latis- 



simo, appresso, oblique leviter impresso, umbilicum angustum per- 



vium fere tegente. 

 Long. 27-28, diam. 16-17 mill.; long, apert. 14-16, lat. 9-10 mill. 

 Hab. ad Khoonda Ghat, Montium Nilgherries, Indise Australia. 



Teste T. Jerdon. 



Well distinguished from the Cingalese species, albizonatus, 

 Reeve, Ceylanicus, and intermedins, Pfr., by its ventricose form, 

 the more ample aperture, and the mode of sculpture. A perfect 

 specimen, in the Museum of the India House, and a young one 

 received from Dr. Jerdon, have the periphery angulate; whereas 

 an adult specimen communicated by Dr. Jerdon is deficient in 

 this feature. 



Bulimus pleurophorus, B., n. s. 



Testa subperforata, ovato-pyramidata, costis verticalibus validis con- 

 fertis, interstitiis nitentibus, munita, albida"; spira elongato-conica, 

 apice obtusulo, sutura profundiuscula ; anfractibus 7^ convexis, 

 ultimo } testae a^quante, ad basin rotundato ; apertura subcircu- 

 lari ; peristomate recto, acuto, margine columellari reflexiusculo, 

 dextro arcuato. 

 Long. 8, diam. 3^ mill. 



Hab. rarissime ad Teria Ghat, Montium Khasia. Teste W. Theo- 

 bald. 



A single specimen of this shell (which, in form only, has rela- 

 tions to the maritime European Bulimi) has been submitted for 

 inspection. It is not in a fresh state, and may possibly present 

 a horn-coloured epidermis in a more perfect condition. 



Bulimus Theobaldianus, B., n. s. 



Testa obtecte perforata, ovato-conica, oblique striata, striis exUibus 

 obsoletis decussata, ferrugineo-albida, superne fascia maculifera 

 tseniata, maculisque obliquis elongato-quadratis distantibus, subtus 

 fasciis duabus castaneis, alteraque unica periphserica albida ornata; 

 spira conica, apice nigro, obtusiusculo ; sutura leviter impressa ; 

 anfractibus 5 vix convexiusculis, ultimo medio obtuse funiculato- 

 carinato, dimidium testae vix aequante ; apertura vix obliqua, 

 truncato-ovata; peristomate tenui? recto? margine columellari ver- 

 ticali lilacino, tota longitudine anguste fornicatim reflexo, perfora- 

 tionem fere tegente ; periomphalo translucente, paUide corneo. 



Long. 15, diam. 9 mill. 



Hab. raro ad Yanglaw, Tenasserim, Teste W. Theobald. 



The mouth of the specimen received ia defective in the right 

 lip. The disposition of the painting has a singular resemblance 

 to that of the Philippine B. zonulatus, Pfr.
