the same intense shade as that which prevails on the upper parts of 
the allied species, C. sabeus and pygarythrus; outer surface of the 
limbs of a clearer ashy grey colour; whiskers, throat, breast, belly, 
and inside of the limbs yellowish white ; tail brown at the root, light 
grey at the tip; backs of the hands and feet light grey ; face covered 
with very short hairs, black on the nose and cheeks, livid flesh-colour 
round the eyes, and light brown on the lips; eyebrows black, sur- 
mounted by a broad white fillet which passes across the forehead ; 
nose very prominent and narrow between the eyes, but flatter and 
broader towards the extremity ; ears and palms of the hands brown ; 
scrotum surrounded by yellowish hairs; size and form of C. sabeus, 
but with a rounder head and shorter face. 
The specimen here described was procured at Liverpool, but its 
previous origin is unknown. 
A paper, in which Mr. Broderip proceeds with his descriptions of 
Mr. Cuming’s shells, was next read.

This fine Heliz, named, at the request of Mr. Cuming, after Mr. 
Reeve, an assiduous collector, was found by the former at the lo- 
calities above mentioned, adhering to the leaves of trees. The 
ground-colour is reddish brown, deepening on the body-whorl to rich, 
dark plum-colour, approaching to black. A brownish white epider- 
mis covers the two first varieties, with the exception of certain inter- 
vals, through which the ground-colour is exposed in the form of 
lines and bands. Thus in var. a. three small cinctures of brown lines 
appear towards the upper part, and a broad brown band at the lower 
part of the fourth whorl. At the upper part of the body-whorl are 
two hair-like dark lines, and the middle and lower part of it is belted 
with four bold, broad, nearly black bands. In var. b. the body- 
whorl is belted and filleted with more numerous lines and bands, but 
none of the latter are so broad as they are in var. a. In all the va- 
rieties the peritreme and reflected lip are of a rich plum-colour, and 
the inside of the aperture is bluish white. The pattern resides in 
the epidermis, and, when the shell is plunged into water, disappears.
