Plate XIl. 
Species 61. (Mus. Cuming.)

indistincte obtuse angidato, columelld pland, intortd; 
peUucido-albd, nitidd, basin versus virescente, lined 
castaned couspictid infra suturas ciremidatd, columelld 
pttrpureo-fuscd, peritremate albo. 
Cuming’s Bulimus.. Shell orate, spire rather obtuse, 
whorls five in number, finely obliquely striated, the 
last indistinctly obtusely angled round the lower part,

Eab. Island of Camiguing, Philippines (on leaves of trees) ; 
Cuming. 
A transparent shining opal-like shell, peculiarly charac- 
terized by a dark chesnut line running beneath the sutures. 
Species 62. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus vebecundus. Bui. testd ovatd, tenuiculd, ven- 
tricosd, anfractibus quinque, convexis, tumidis, colu- 
melld rectd, labro tenui, vix rejlexo ; albd, f asciis 
canteo-fuscescentibus latis interruptis cingulatd, peri- 
tremate carneo-fuscescente. 
The modest Bulimus. Shell ovate, rather thin, ven- 
tricose, whorls five in number, convex, swollen, 
columella straight, lip thin, very sbghtly reflected; 
white, encircled by broad interrupted light flesh- 
browTi bands, peritreme flesh-brown. 
Helix modesta, Sowerby, Pro. Zool. Soc., 1841, p. 39. 
Hab. Catanauan, Province of Tayabas, Island of Luzon (on 
the leaves of trees) ; Cuming. 
The adoption of this delicate species under the type of 
Bulimus imposes the necessity of substituting a new speci- 
fic name, that of modestus being already occupied. 
Species 63. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus simplex. Bui. testd ovato-conoided, anfractibus 
quinque, convexis, columelld subintortd, labro subeffuso, 
rejlexo; albd, basin versus viridescente, epidermide 
tenui, corned. 
The simple Bulimus. Shell ovately conoid, whorls five 
in number, convex, columella slightly twisted, lip 
somewhat effused, reflected ; white, greenish towards 
the base, with a very thin homy epidermis. 
Jonas, Pro. Zool. Soc., 1842, p. 189. 
Hob. Island of Mindoro, Philippines. 
The green colouring of this species seems to reside in 
great measure in its thin homy epidermis. 
Species 64. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus effusus. Bui. testd ovatd, basin versus ventri- 
cosd, effusd, anfractibus quinque, convexis, columelld 
vix arcuatd, labro sublate refexo ; albd, nitidd, zonulis 
duabus castaneis conspicue cingulatd, epidermide tenui 
corned lutescente inferne indutd. 
The effused Bulimus. Shell ovate, ventricose and 
effused towards the base, whorls five in number, 
convex, columella scarcely arched, lip somewhat 
broadly reflected; white, shining, sometimes con- 
spicuously encircled with two narrow chesnut zones, 
covered at the lower part with a thin yellowish 
homy epidermis. 
Pfeiffeu, Pro. Zool. Soc., 1842, p. 152. 
Hah. Island of Tablas, Philippines (on the leaves of 
trees) ; Cuming. 
This shell approaches rather to the Helix decipiens in 
form and general aspect than to the B. Oumingii, with 
which Dr. Pfeiffer compares it, and might be referred to 
that genus with almost equal propriety. 
Species 65. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus bbeviculus. Bui. testd crassivsculd, peculia- 
riter abbreviato-pyramidali, apice obtusd, anfractibus 
sex, angustis, aperturd pared, labro sublate rejlexo; 
albd, epidermide luteo-fuscescente. 
The shobtened Bulimus. Shell rather thick, peculiarly 
abbreviately pyramidal, obtuse at the apex, whorls 
six in number, narrow, aperture small, bp rather 
widely reflected ; white, epidermis yellowish brown.
