Of this peculiar sinistral heliciform Bulimus a solitary specimen, 

 much weathered but perfect, was found by Major Beddome. It is 

 evidently a coloured shell but only traces of the epidermis remain- 

 ed. It is allied to B. allizonatus, Ev., and B. intermedins, Pfr., of 

 Ceylon, but is sinistral and has a shorter more conical form. 



As with LL. immerita, I have returned the original specimen to 

 Major Beddome, and cannot, therefore, add a figure.

 rupt subconical apex, and by the columella standing out from the 

 last whorl, so as to have a groove running along its side.
