126 PUPOIDES. 



body-whorl ventricose, the others gradually tapering to an 

 obtuse apex; aperture ovate-lunate, lips subreflected and 

 white within; a single tooth at the junction of the outer lip 

 with the body-whorl; colour brown (Hutton, 1849). 



Bulimus astierianus Dupuy (pi. 13, figs. 5, 6). Shell conoid, 

 apex obtuse; perforate; under the lens very delicately and 

 irregularly striatulate; aperture ovate, a little lunate; peri- 

 stome spreading, flat, acute, lipped and somewhat thickened 

 with brownish-white; whorls 6, convex, parted by a deep 

 suture, the last whorl larger, forming half the shell. Bather 

 solid, with a somewhat silky luster, tawny, glabrous and sub- 

 opaque. Length 5 to 6, diam. 2 mm. He de Ste-Marguerite.

Kobelt, Caziot and others have commented on the evidently 

 exotic origin of this species. Even the collector is unknown, 

 and it has not been found a second time. In so difficult a 

 group, the exact identity of the form cannot be decided unless 

 the type is found, but it is not unlikely identical with coeno- 

 pictus. 



10a. P. ccenopictus lardeus (Pfr.). PL 13, figs. 4, 9, 12. 



Shell subperforate, oblong-ovate, rather solid, striate, hav- 

 ing the luster of lard, rufous-corneous. Spire convexly tur- 

 rited, the apex obtuse; whorls 6, a little convex, the last 

 slightly more than one-third the length, somewhat compressed 

 at base. Aperture subvertical, truncate-oval; peristome 

 lipped within, subangularly spreading, the margins remote, 

 joined by a thin callus which bears an obsolete fold at the 

 right lip-insertion. Length 5%, diam. 2%, aperture 2 x 1% 

 mm. (Pfr.).
