Species 30. (Fig. a, h, c, and d. Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus cincinnus. Bill, testa omto-pyranddali, tenui, 
subhyalind, anfractibus senis aubrotundatk, colvmella 
suhintortd, labro simplioi, vix r^exo ; pallide rosaeed,

The curl Bulimusi, Shell ovately pyramidal, thin, 
rather transparent, whorls six in number, somewhat 
rounded, columella slightly twisted, lip simple, 
scarcely reflected; pale pink, whitish or greenish, 
sparingly bespotted towards the base with dark 
brown epidermis.

leaves of trees) ; Cuming. 
A very delicate and extremely variable species, the 
epidermis of which is of so tenacious a character that it is 
rare to meet with specimens having any portion adhering. 
The colour of some is purple, of others light pink or pale 
green, and the shell has not unfrequently a pink columella. 
Species 31. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus Calypso. Bui. testd subpyramidali-ovatd, dia- 
pliand, anfractibus senis, convexis ; columella pecu- 
liariter contortd et truncatd, labro tenui, vix reflexo ; 
albidd, fasciis pallidb olivaceo-luteis, prcecipub in an- 
fractu ultimo, cingulatd; eolumelld apice et peritre- 
niate roseo-purpureis. 
The Calypso Bulimus. Shell somewhat pyramidally 
ovate, diaphanous, whorls six in number, convex ; 
colmneUa peculiarly twisted and truncated, lip thin, 
but little reflected ; wliitish, encircled with pale olive 
yellow bands, especially round the last whorl, eolu- 
meUa apex and peritreme rose-purple.

Hai. Tanhay, Isle of Negros, Philippines (in the woods) ; 
Cuming. 
Only two specimens of this very delicate diaphanous 
species were collected ; it is encircled by numerous faint 
olive-yellow bands, somewhat crowded towards the base, 
and the columella, peritreme, and first two whorls of the 
shell are of a deep rose-purple; there is, moreover, a 
dark purplish stripe around the columella. 
It is a peculiarity in this species that the banded pattern 
does not reside in the epidermis, as in most of its con- 
geners, but in the shell, where it may be observed 
winding ^ound the interior. 
Species 32. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus tirens. Bui. testd pyramidali-ovatd, laviusculd, 
nitidd, anfractibus septeuis, suhplano-convexis, ultimo 
inf erne obscure angulato ; eolumelld vix intortd, labro 
subrefexo ; albd, epidermide tenui virescente basin versus 
indutd. 
The pale green Bulimus. Shell pyramidally ovate, 
rather smooth, shining, whorls seven in number, 
rather flatly convex, the last obscurely angled round 
the lower part ; columella slightly twisted, lip but 
little reflected ; white, covered with a thin epidermis 
which is of a pale green colour towards the base.

I cannot trace the resemblance which Dr. Pfeifler 
notices between this shell and B. carinatus. Lea ; the 
figure of that species in the Transactions of the Academy 
of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, represents a shell 
belonging rather to that division of the genus which is 
characterised by a hydrophanous epidermis. 
Species 33. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus Hindsii. Bui. testd oblongo-ovatd, anfractibus 
quinis convexis, eolumelld subintortd, labro reflexo; 
alM, anfractibus fascia castaned supra et infra cingu- 
latis, epidermide tenui luted, parte circa columellani 
et peritremate pirpureofuscis. 
Hind’s Bulimus. Shell oblong-ovate, whorls convex, 
columella slightly twisted, lip reflected ; white, whorls 
encircled above and below with a chesnut band, 
epidermis thin, yeUow, peritreme and part around 
the columeEa purple-brown.

The general aspect of this shell is very simple, but it is 
not a species of common occurrence.
