BULIMUS 
Plate X. 
Species 47. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bultmus aplomorphus. Bui. testa conico-ovatd, an- 
fractihus senis, conveads, ultimo supeme obscure angu- 
lato, uperturd parviusculd, lahro fortiter rejkxo ; cas- 
tcmeo-luUscente, zonis rufo-fuscis duabtis cingulatd, 
epidermide tenttmirnd, peritremaie albo. 
The simple-form Bulimus. Shell conically ovate, 
whorls six in number, convex, last whorl obscurely 
angled at the lower part, aperture rather small, lip 
strongly reflected; chesnut-yeUow, encircled with 
two red-brown zones, epidermis very slight, peritreme 
white.

Hai. Philippine Islands. 
Allied to A. Guimarasensis but of another form, differing 
principally in being more conical and in having a second 
thin white hydrophanous epidermis, which, however, in 
the specimen figured, is much rubbed away. It was not 
collected by Mr. Cuming. 
Fig. 19 c and d. (Mus. Cuming). 
The shells here represented are without doubt varieties 
of the B.pictor described at Plate IV. although so much 
smaller in size, and not characterized by the zigzag 
shadowed flames depicted in the specimens there figured : 
in these the outer hydrophanous epidermis is either 
arranged in slightly waved streaks, or it covers the shell 
leaving streaked spaces. Where the varieties chiefly simu- 
late is in the livid purple-black colouring of the peritreme. 
Species 48. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus user. Bui. testd subabbreviato-ovatd, tenuiculd, 
diaplmnd, anfractibus quaternis, veutricosis, longitu- 
dinaliter confertim regulariter striatis, ultimo spirce 
magnitudinem valdb swperante ; pellucido-alid, epider- 
mide teiiui lutescente indutd. 
The nipple Bulimus. Shell somewliat shortly ovate, 
rather thin, diaphanous, whorls four in number, ven- 
tricose, longitudinally closely regularly striated, last 
whorl far exceeding the size of the spire ; transparent 
white, covered by a thin yellowish epidermis.

Hab. Island of Guimaras, Philippines, (on the leaves of 
trees) ; Cuming. 
The spire of this shell is of a peculiarly swollen ma- 
millary structure, whilst the shell is composed of no more 
than four whorls ; it is of a semitransparent diaphanous 
texture with only a very simple shining epidermis. 
Species 49. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus jFJble. Bui. testd oblongo-ovatd, vix pyramidali, 
anfractibus quinis, convexis, oblique creberrime striatk, 
ultimo subeffitso, inferne obscure obtuso-carinato ; fulvd, 
bad indistincte fasciatd, suturis subtilissime albilineatis, 
peritremaie conspicue castaneo-fusco. 
The BjIgle Bulimus. Shell oblong-ovate, scarcely 
pyramidal, whorls five in number, convex, obliquely 
very closely striated, last whorl somewhat eftused, 
obscurely obtusely angled round the lower part ; 
fulvous, indistinctly banded at the base, sutures 
marked with a very fine white Une, peritreme con- 
spieuously stained with chesnut-brown. 
Broderip, Pro. Zool. Soc., 1840. p. 181. 
Hab. Casan, Province of Misamis, Island of Mindanao, 
Philippines (in a dense forest on the leaves of trees) ; 
Cuming. 
Pecidiar in form but of a dull fulvous hue, not distin- 
guished by any ornamental epidermis, nor of an aspect at 
aU complimentary to the fair nymph to whom it is dedi- 
cated. 
Species 50. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus leucoph*us. Bui. testd subpyramid ali-ovatd, 
crassiusculd, plus minus ventricosd, anfractibus senis, 
convexk, columelld redd, aperturd subcontractd, labro 
rejlexo ; castaneo-fuscd, epidermide hucoplimd, seepe

The russet-grey Bulimus. Shell somewhat pyrami- 
dally ovate, rather thick, more or less ventricose, 
whorls six in number, convex, columella straight, 
aperture slightly contracted, lip reflected ; chesnut- 
brown, covered with a russet-grey epidermis, often
