118 BULIMULUS-N AESIOTUS. 



lected by Wolf were more or less immature, the original diagnosis 

 needs some additional data. 



" I have figured several specimens to show the variations of form 

 and sculpture. When mature the shell always has a pretty solidly 

 thickened peristome. The young are more translucent and show 

 projecting points of epidermis along the minute granular spiral lines, 

 as in B. unifasciatns, and like that species show a distinct peripheral 

 paler band " (Dall). 



B. BAURI Dall. PI. 23, fig. 31. 



Shell small, short, stout, with a dark, rapidly attenuated spire,, 

 distinct suture, and opaque yellow-brown last whorl; whorls about 

 seven, the earlier ones dark livid purple with straw colored streaks, 

 paler at the suture, rude, wrinkled and malleated ; last whorl in- 

 flated, more or less wrinkled transversely, somewhat shining; um- 

 bilicus closed or a mere chink. 



Aperture subquadrate, angulated behind and at the base of the 

 pillar; pillar short, oblique; lips simple, thick, especially across the 

 body where the callus has a raised edge ; throat white. Length of 

 shell 10, of aperture 4'5; diam. of shell 6*5 mill. 



Hibernating on the under side of leaves of plants at the southwest 

 end of Chatham Island, 1,600 feet above the sea (Dr. Baur).

" This is a very distinct little species, with a pale yellow-brown 

 body whorl darkening toward the tip of the spire, with conspicuous, 

 lighter transverse wrinkles on the upper whorls, and fine ribbing on 

 the nepionic shell which is of a livid purple, almost black. In speci- 

 mens which have survived hibernation, the aperture is usually pro- 

 duced, contracted and conspicuously thickened. Many specimens 

 have a narrow, pale line in front of the suture. There is no spiral 

 sculpture " (Dall). 



The columella suddenly widens as it enters the throat, with a 

 suggestion of the sort of fold seen in B. canaliferus. 



B. AMASTROIDES Ancey. PL 23, fig. 32. 



Shell small, oblong, subperforate, rather thin ; light olive colored, 

 with a paler peripheral girdle bordered above and below by rather 

 wide but very ill-defined brown bands. Surface glossy with growth
