lied). Island of Negros, Philippines (on the trees); Cuming. 
Of all the species collected by Mr. Cuming at the 
Philippine Islands, this has, perhaps, most e.xcited the 
admiration of amateurs. The electrical flashes, so to 
speak, of light satiny epidermis which descend from the 
sutures are peculiarly striking, and unlike anything that 
had been seen before. The ground colour of the shell 
varies from a rich burnt-brown to a pale lemon colour.
