B. rhodolarynz, which, however, has a more circular aperture and 
different coloration. 
BULIMUS EXCELSUS (Plate XIV. Fig.3.) 
T. elongato-ovata, acuminata, solidiuscula, levis, fulvida, me strigata ; 
Spira sedge long anfr. septem ultimo trientes duos long. vix æquante : j 
apértura trientem long. adequans, subovata; labro albo itie ra ral 
continuo, al pestem expanso, fissuram latam obtegente. 
Shell ovate-fusiform, rather solid, smooth, pale coffee colored, 
with unequal longitudinal strigz of white shading into each other, 
white at suture ; spire acute, elongated ; whorls seven, moderately 
convex, the last not quite two thirds the length of the shell ; aper- 
ture less than half the length of the shell, obliquely subovate, lip soon 
becoming revolute, broadly so in front, rising, a little narrowed, by 
a somewhat abrupt curve upon the columella, and expanding again 
as it rises, until the two extremities of the lip nearly meet; the 
columellar portion stands off from the body whorl, displaying a large 
umbilical fissure; lip white, with a brown submargin at the point of 
reflection. 
Length 12 inch; TAREA 3 inch.

This shell has very much the appearance of B. Lobbii, Reeve, 
from Peru ; but the aperture is larger and differently proportioned ; 
the colors are less bright, the stripes broader and more blended. 
B. pallidior, Sowb., has the aperture more like it, but is colorless, 
and has the spire less elongated. In form it is also much like 
B. xanthostoma, D'Orb. It has the form of B. membranaceus, but is 
much larger and thicker. 
ACMJUEA PALEACEA (PL XIV. Fig. 5.) 
T. parva, tenuis, elongata, lateraliter valde compressa et tria ngularis 
dorsum utroque costis obtusis ornata; apice acuto prope trientem anteriorem 
longitudinis sito ; color straminea, vel cinnamomea. 
Shell minute, delicate, thin, elongated, laterally compressed, so 
that the two sides are parallel; dorsal aspect a long, narrow oval ; 
lateral aspect low triangular; apex at about the anterior third, 
acute, antrorse; surface with delicate lines of growth, and a. ji
