The dilated Bulimus. Shell rather thick, abbreviately 
pyramidal, somewhat veutricose, whorls six in 
number, narrow, columella flatly dilated, aperture 
rather small ; blackish-purple, reddish towards the 
apex, with a brown hydrophanous epidermis, colu-

Pfeiffer, Pro. Zool. Soc., 1846, p. 43. 
A solid contracted pyramidal shell approaching some- 
what in form to the B. lencopTiaea ; and the hydrophanous 
epidermis, of which this specimen exhibits the remains, 
appears to be abraded iu patches beneath the sutiu’es as in 
that species. 
Singularly alhed in form to the B. dilatatus, which is of 
a dark purple-brown colour, but somewhat less ventricose.
