BULINUS. 1738 
ce. BULINUS NITENS, Philippi ? 
Plate 7, fig. 15. 
I have figured a shell found at Vera Cruz, 
which may be the above species, not entirely 
mature. The original figure of nitens, which 
is accurately copied in Binney’s work, f. 168, 
appears to be drawn from an abnormal speci- 
men. 
Subfamily POMPHOLIN, Dall. 
Shell depressed, few-whorled, the last whorl 
the largest, without fold on the columella. 
Inoperculate. Animal, foot rounded, tentacles 
long, eyes situated at the outer bases of the 
tentacles.
