 Achatinella bulimoides. Sw. in Brands Jo urn. Ap. 1828. p. 85. 



We continue our Illustrations of these pretty little land 

 shells, of which all the species, as we before remarked, are 

 natives of the South Sea Islands, and very little known to 

 collectors. The present is distinguished by the thickness 

 of its spire, the apex being more suddenly pointed. We 

 have represented two varieties in point of colour, but in 

 both the suture is scarcely, if at all, margined by an 

 indented grove. 



ACHATINELLA livida, 

 Livid Achatinella. 



Specific Character. 



Shell reversed, ovate, obtuse, livid brown or greyish ; spire thick- 

 ened ; suture with a deep fulvous line. 

 Achatinella lividia. Brands Journ. Ap. 1828. p. 85. 



A small reversed species, unhanded, and scarcely exceed- 

 ing half an inch in length. In form it perfectly resembles 

 the green variety of Bulimus citrinus. The three specimens 

 in our museum vary in colour from a light olive brown, to 

 a livid purple which lies in longitudinal shades, and grad- 

 ually changes, on the spiral whorls, to white ; suture marked 

 by a line of deep orange brown ; aperture white, tinged 

 with purple.
