Species 11. (Pig. a and h. Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimcs Woodiantjs. Bui. testa, ovato-conoided, basi 
peculiariter caucavd, anfractibus quinis subrotundis, 
suturis impressis, columella vix itdorld; albd, epider- 
mide luted tenumimd nitidd indutd, anfractu ultimo 
ustuhto-fusco lincto, conspkue unifasciato, columelld 
rosaceo-purpurascettte, peritremate et circa colnmellam 
intense nigrkante-castaneis. 
Wood’s Bulimus. Shell ovately conoid, peculiarly con- 
cave at the base, whorls five in number, somewhat 
round, sutures impressed, columcDa slightly twisted ; 
white, covered with a very thin yellow shining epi- 
dermis, last whorl stained with burnt brown and 
conspicuously single banded, columella pinkish pur- 
ple, peritreme and around the columella deep blackish 
chesnut. 
Lea, Trans, Acad. Nat. Sc. Philadelphia, 1 840, pi. xi. f. 5. 
Hab. Island of llomblon, Philippines (on the trees) ; 
Cuming. 
This species is of a character singularly distinct from 
the rest of its congeners of the Philippine Isles. No 
pattern is discernible in the epidermis, which is merely a 
thin transparent horny layer, nor is diere any colour in 
the shell until it approaches matm'ity. The specimen re- 
presented at Pig. 1 1. fl is entirely colourless ; that at 11.5 
has a burnt brown hue' upon the last whorl, which is 
further distinguished by a dark band and intensely dark 
chesnut-stained peritreme. 
Species 12. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus juglans. Bui. testd ovatd, crassiusculd, anfrac- 
tibus quinis, rotundato-tumidis, oblique striatis, aper- 
turd subcontractd, columelld inirorsum arcuatd; in- 
tense rufo-castaned, epidennide tenuiculd, spiraliter 
lineatd, aperturd peritremate et columelld livido-caru- 
lescenlibus. 
The walnut Bulimus. Shell ovate, rather thick, whorls 
five in number, rotundately tumid, obliquely striated, 
aperture slightly contracted, columella curved in- 
wards ; deep reddish chesnut, epidermis rather thin, 
spirally lineated, aperture peritreme and columella 
pale livid blue. 
Pfeiffek, Pro. Zool. Soc.-, 1842. p. 89. 
Hab. Mountains of Igarrotes, northern extremity of the 
Island of Luzon, Philippines (on leaves of trees) ; 
Cuming. 
A rather scarce species of solid growth, and of a deep 
(uimson brown colour. The aperture is somewhat con- 
tracted, and there is a peculiar twist in the columella. 
I'he epidermis is rather sbght, disposed in spiral lines. 
Species 13. (Mus. Cuming.) 
llULiMUS Paunus. Bui. testd subpyramidali-ovatd, cras- 
siusculd, anfra/^lihus seuis, subconvexis, columHld vix 
reetd; castaneo-fused, epidermide simplu:i,fmn,o-fuscd, 
tnaeulis paucis nigricantibus props suturas exJiibentibus, 
aperturd oeerulescente-albd, columelld rosaceo-purpu- 
rascente, peritremate uigricante. 
The P'awn Bulimus. Shell somewhat pyramidally 
ovate, rather thick, whorls six in number, slightly 
convex, columella nearly straight ; chesnut-browii, 
epidermis simple, smoky-brown, exhibiting a few 
blackish spots next the sutures, aperture bluish- 
white, columella pinkish-purple, peritreme blackish. 
Helix (Cocliloslyla) Faunus, Broderip, Pro. Zool. Soc., 
1840. p. 180. 
Hah. San Nicolas, Island of Zebu (on the trees); Cuming. 
Of a firm pyramidal growth, singularly characterized by 
a row of irregular small spots around the sutures. 
Species 14. (Pig. a, b, c. Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus Ticaonicus. Bui. testd subgloboso-ovatd, apice 
obtusd, anfractihis quinis, rotundatis, columelld sub- 
arcuatd; castaneo-rufd ant Jlavicaiite, epidermide in 
Jloccis strigisve subdistantibus conspicuis, aut simpliei 
aut spiraliter lineatd, columelld rosaceo-purpurasceutc, 
peritremate purpureo-castaned, nonmmquam pallidd. 
The Ticao Bulimus. Shell somewhat globosely ovate, 
obtuse at the apex, whorls five in number, rounded, 
columella slightly arched ; chesnut-red or pale yellow, 
with the epidermis in conspicuous, rather distinct 
flakes or streaks, or simple or spnally lineated, colu- 
mella pinkish-pm'ple, peritreme purple-chesnut, some- 
times pale. 
Helix {Cochlostyla) Ticaonica, Broderip, Pro. Zool. Soc. 
1840. 
Hab. Island of Ticao, Philippmes (in the woods); Cuming. 
This species, like the B. Haplmis of the Island of Zebu, 
is an extremely vai’iable one, assuming numerous styles of 
pattern and colour, as may be noticed by the contrast af- 
forded in the specimens selected for representation. All 
are, however, distinguished by their globose form, and by 
the important delicate pink colouring of the columella.
