f. 1 to 10. 
Hah. Bolivian Andes, South America (at the roots of 
shrubs) ; D’Orbigny, Bridges. 
An extremely variable species of which D’Orbigny has 
considered it necessary to give ten figures, maiidy distin- 
guished by its acuminated growth and general disposition 
of colonr. 
Species 92. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus pdkctulifee. Bui. testd oblongo-omld, tenuis- 
simd, utnbilicald, anfractibus sex, longitudinaliter stri- 
atis, sub lente undigue creberrime piano-granulosis, per 
marginem superiorem hie illic minute rude crenulatis, 
labro tenui simplici, colitmellari refiexo ; albidd,fnsco 
irregidariter lineatd et punctatd, epxdermide Jlavicante 
indutd. 
The dotted Bulimus. Shell oblong-ovate, very thin, 
umbilicated, whorls six in number, longitudinally 
striated, under the lens very closely flatly granulated, 
minutely rudely crenulated here and there idong the 
upper margin, bp thin, simple, the columeUar bp 
reflected back ; whitish, irregularly bneated and dotted 
with brown, covered with a yellowish epidermis.

Hab. Chbi, La Questa Prada, Cuming; La Questa de 
Arenos, Huasco, Bridges. 
Approaching the B. granulosus in form and sculpture^ 
the painting of this shell resembles that of B. Broderipii, 
though easily distinguished by its dotted indefinite style 
of pattern. 
Species 93. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus eupicolus. Bui. testd fusiformi-ovatd, tenui, 
spird subacutd, anfractibus quingue ultimo maxima, 
longitudinaliter rude striatis, undique minute granulato- 
rugom, labro simplici; albidd, mamlis lengitudinali- 
bus punctisque nigricantibus seriatim pietd, epidermide 
flavicante indutd. 
The eock-inhabitikg Bulimus. ShcU fusiformly ovate, 
thin, spire rather sharp, whorls five in number, the 
last very large, longitudinaUy rudely striated and 
everywhere minutely granulately rough, bp simple; 
whitish, painted with rows of black longitudinal 
blotches and dots, covered with a yellowish epidermis. 
Suednea variegata, Pfeiffer, Pro. Zool. Soc., 1842, p. 187. 
Hab. Valleys in the north of Coquimbo (in the crevices of 
rocks); Bridges. 
I think Dr. Pfeiffer has greatly erred in referring this 
group of Bulimi to the genus Suednea, the type of which 
is an amphibious animal, bke the Lymnea, affecting damp 
and swampy situations, such as the banks of stagnant 
pools, in marshes, or on floating vegetable matter. The 
habits of these species are much opposed to this ; dweUing 
in the dry crevices of the rocks which appear in the sandy 
plains west of the Andes, where there is bttle or no mois- 
ture beyoud that which arises from the dews. 
The name variegatus cannot be adopted, in consequence 
of its having been used under the head of Bulimus by 
Bruguiere in referrence to the Tornatella fiammea. 
Species 94. (Mus. Cummg.) 
Bulimus thamnoicus. Bui. testd ohlongo-ovatd, tumi- 
diusculd, umbilicatd, anfractibus sex, convexis, undique 
minute seriatim granulatis, per marginem superiorem 
crenulatis; fuscescente, lineis nigricantibus nebulosis 
irregularibus dngulatd. 
The sheub-inhabiting Bulimus. Shell oblong-ovate, 
rather swoben, umbilicated, whorls six in number, 
convex, minutely granulated throughout in rows, 
crenulated along the upper margin; light brown 
encircled with irregular clouded blackish lines.

f. 4 to 9. 
Hab. Eastern side of the Bobvian Andes, (at the roots of 
bushes and, during the dry season, in the crevices of 
rocks) ; D ’Orbigny, Bridges.
