CANARIAN GROUP. 433 



state which is said by Mousson to be probably subfossilized, in 

 Grand Canary. I have not been able to procure a type for 

 inspection ; but the B. indlfferens seems to be ovate in out- 

 line, with the apex of its spire obtuse and not prominent, and 

 with its peristome (the margins of which are distant, and joined 

 by a thin and simple intervening lamina) only narrowly 

 expanded.

Buliminus texturatus, Mouss., Faun. Mai. des Can. 117

 Bulimus texturatus, Pfeiff., Mon. Hel. viii. 76 (1876) 



Habitat Gomeram; duobus exemplaribus (emortuis) a cl. 

 Fritsch repertis. 



Like the last one, this is a small Bulimus, — having indeed 

 much about the same length, namely 6 lines ; and the species 

 was established by Mousson on the evidence of two dead 

 examples which were taken by Fritsch in Oromera. ' Cette 

 petite espece,' says Mousson, 'dont je n'ai vu que deux 

 echantillons, recueillis morts, n'est guere plus grande que le 

 nanodes, Shuttlw., mais ne peut lui etre assimilee. Elle est 

 plus allongee, assez efhlee vers le sommet ; ses tours sont 

 presque plans, separes par une suture superficielle, subcrenelee ; 

 la surface est couverte de fines rides serrees, ondulees et formant 

 a la base une sorte de chagrinage granuleux. Le B. indlfferens 

 a par contre une forme plus ovoide, des tours plus arrondis, et 

 une surface sans traces de costulation.' 



Bulimus nanodes. 



T. rimato-perforata, breviter et obtuse oblongo-ovata, soli- 

 diuscula, subopaca, plus minus grosse varioloso-, aut reticulato- 

 (vix granuloso-), rugata, obscure flavo-cornea ; spira semiglo- 

 boso-conica, sutura profunde impressa, ; anfractibus 6^, valde 

 convexis, intermediis subinflatis ; apertura minuscula, vix angu- 

 lata, peristomate late expanso, acutiusculo, albo, marginibus 

 lamina tenui simplici junctis, columellari parum reflexo. — Long, 

 tin. circa 5 ; diam. maj. 3.
