Hab. Liberia, Africa. Dr. Blanding. 



My Cabinet. 



Cabinet of Dr. Blanding. 



Diam. .4, Length .8 of an inch. 



Remarks. — This shell was among those obtained by Dr. Blanding from Li- 

 beria. It has some resemblance to B. radiatus, Lam., a European species, 

 but is rather larger, and is uniform in colour. 



BuLiMus WooDiANus. Plate XL, Fig. 5. 



Testa ovato-conicd, crassd, rufo-fuscd, imperforatd; anfractibus quinis; subconvexis; aperturd 

 magna, ovaid; labro incrassato, rejlexo, margine purpuratd; columella incrassatd, laevi. 



Shell ovately conical, thick, reddish-brown, imperforate ; whorls five, rather convex, aperture 

 large, ovate; lip thickened, reflected, margin purple; columella thickened and smooth. 



Hab. Philippine Islands. W. W. Wood. 



My Cabinet. 

 Diam. .2, Length 3.6 inches. 



Remarks. — This is one of the largest and finest species of Bulimus received 

 from Mr. Wood, and I dedicate it to him. It somewhat resembles the B. 

 hcemastomas, Lam., but has a more exserted spire, a smaller mouth, and is of a 

 different colour. The interior is of a fine- blue white, and the purple of the 

 large, thick, and reflected lip fades into it. At the base the lip has a curve. 

 Three specimens which are under my view all differ somewhat in character. 

 The large one has the apex of the spire white; the second one perfectly blue; 

 the smaller one has the spire considerably more exserted.
