BULIMUS.— Plate IV. 
Pfeiffer’s Bulimus. Shell oblong-ovate, rather veu- 
tricose, whorls six in number, somewhat swollen, 
columella sbghtly arched ; pale yellowish green, with 
the epidermis in longitudinally waved streaks, colu- 
mella and aperture bluish white, peritreme and the 
part round the columella blackish brown. 
BuUmm nimbosus, var. d, Broderip. 
Hab. Tankay, Island of Negros (on the branches); Cuming. 
I have long regarded this shell in my own mind as a 
species distinct from B. niviboius ; it is composed of one 
whorl less, is constantly more ventricose, less pyramidally 
acuminated, and always distinguished by a pale yellowish- 
green cast of colour with a dark chesnut blotch, nearly 
black, around the columella, and there is a peculiarity also 
in the .arrangement of the epidermis. 
To Dr. Pfeiffer, of Cassel, I dedicate this beautiful 
species, trusting he will appreciate my desire to do him 
honour for the service he has rendered to couchological 
science by his Laborious investigation of the great tribe 
of HelicidcB of which the present genus foions a part.

The painter Bclimes. Shell acuminately oblong, whorls

Hab. Dingle, Province of Ilo Ilo, Island of Penang, 
Philippines (on the trees) ; Cuming. 
A richly coloured species, with the epidermis so depo- 
sited as to leave a dark, longitudinal, zig-zag stripe 
at intervals, which is occasionally broken or otherwise 
interrupted, and h.as a striking appearance from the epi- 
dermis being of a thick, opake-wliite, satiny hue down 
one side. The aperture is of clear milky white, and the 
peritreme is peculiar in having the usual dark colouring 
matter quite at the edge.
