90 THE NAUTILUS. 



This is closely allied to P. su^lobeo Anc, P. vicaria Fult., and P. 

 Tatesi Pfr., all from Peru, but is remarkable for its pure white re- 

 flected lip. It was originally described from a juvenile specimen, 

 imperfect in several respects. 



Porphyrobaphe victor Pfr. 



I secured an authentic specimen of P. Augusti J ouss. (Bull. See. 

 Zool. de France, 1887, p. 1, pi. Ill, fig. 10), and cannot see that it 

 differs from Pfeiff'er's species.

 margine dextro regulariter convexo, basali rotundato, columellari

 columellari callo coerulescente junctis. Columella intus pliciformis,

A very large BuHmulus, respectfully dedi(!ated to Mr. W. T. 

 Blanford, the well-known writer on Indian shells. It is closely 

 allied to BuHmulus anthisanensis Pfr., from Ecuador, but is much 

 larger and more capacious. In that respect it resembles B. inca 

 d' Orb., more than any other species from the same country, but the 

 two species are clearly distinct.
