This shell bears great resemblance to the Bul. ovatus. The body- 
whorl has three brownish bands, and the others have two, one in the 
middle and the second on the suture; this last band is interrupted 
by the epidermis, so that it seems as if this band was sprinkled with 
red and yellow spots. The base of the last whorl is of a green colour 
where the columella is reflected.

This shell is like Bul. guimaracensis, but more slender, and the 
proportions of the volutions differ.

Though this Bulimus on the first sight bears great resemblance to 
the Bul. bullula, it is still very distinct. 
Mr. Fraser then characterized two new species of Birds from West- 
ern Africa. :— 
Srrix Pornsis. Strix rostro cerulescenti-corneo ; facie albd, disco 
plumarum confertissimarum, texturd holosericd, circumdatd,—illis 
anticé positis albis, posticis flavis, ad basem pallentibus,—illis au- 
tem genarum apicibus nigris ; corpore superne, e cervino flavo, albo 
et purpureo crebre adsperso, plumarum omnium scapis bis terve 
albo guttatis cum spatio nigro inter singulas guttas ; colli lateribus 
flavis, et, ut apud dorsum, guttatis ; primariis et secondariis fere 
obsolete Sasciatis, et sordide purpureo alboque, sparse guttatis ; 
caudd vie furcatd, rubescenti-flavd, fusco-fasciatd, et sparse albo
