Ilab. Island of Eomblon, Plulippines (on the trees) ; 
Cuming. 
A bright sliining species closely resembling a variety of 
R. cincimms, not figured in the accompanying plate, which 
is sufficiently distinct in form to prevent their being con- 
founded, the one for the other. 
Species 35. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus subcakinatus. Bui. testd conico-ovatd, sub- 
pellucidd, anfractibus senis convexis, striis transversis 
et obliquis subtilissime deeussatk, ultimo inferne ob- 
scure subearimto, columeUd vix iniortd, lahro reflexo, 
subeffuso ; caervdescente-albd, epidermide hydropliand 
fuscescente ad suturas peculiariter auratd, sub alterd 
corned. 
The slightly-keeled Bulimus. Shell conically ovate, 
somewhat transparent, whorls six in number, convex, 
very finely decussated with fine transverse and ob- 
lique striee, last whorl obscurely slightly keeled, 
columella but little twisted, lip reflected, somewhat 
effused ; blueish white, epidermis hydrophanous, light 
brown, peculiarly golden tinged at the sutures, over 
another one of a thin homy substance. 
Ppeiffee, Pro. Zool. Soc., 1842, p. 163. 
Hob. Island of Eomblon, Plulippines (on the leaves of 
trees); Cuming. 
This delicate semi-transparent species serves to illus- 
trate in an interesting mamier the phenomenon, observed 
in many Bulimi, of a double epidermis. The shell under 
consideration is a clear opal white, it is then covered with 
a thin, shining, greenish, homy epidermis, over which is 
a soft, tenacious, porous, hydrophanous one, curiously 
puckered and tinged with a bronze or golden hue around 
the sutures. *
