hills); Cuming.

effective opake-white lines and dots, with a pale rose 
peritrcme to the aperture. 
Species 13S. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus ahuilus. Bui. testa ovatd, veniricosd, imbili- 
catd, anfractibus quinque, longiludimliter creherrlmie

naliter undatd et variegatd. ' 
The swaetuy Bulimus. Shell ovate, ventricose, umbi- 
licated, whorls five in number, longitudinally veiy 
closely and finely striated, the interstices being reti- 
culately punctured, lip simple ; longitudinally waved 
and variegated with transparent chesnut and white, 
Rab. Tacna, Peru. 
A prettily marked species approaching somewhat in 
character to the B. versicolor, but differing materially in 
form. 
Species 139. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus steiatus. Bui. testa suhpyramidali-ovaid, 
temiiculd, subaniplitcr umbilwatd, anfractibus sex, un- 
dique concentrice elevato-striatis, columelld siiblate ex- 
pansd, labro simplici; fuscescente-albd, lineis strigisve 
concentricis caslamis irregulariler nolatd. 
The striated Bulimus. Shell somewhat pyramidally 
ovate, rather thin, somewhat largely umbilicated, 
whorls six in number, concentrically elevately striated 
throughout, columella rather widely expanded, lip

Hab. Lima (upon the hUls) ; Cuming. 
Peculiarly barred here and there in the most irregular 
manner with dark chesnut brown. 
Species 140. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus eeosus. Bui. testa ovatd, subampliter mnhilicatd, 
spird breviusculd, acuminata, anfractibus sex, ventri- 
cosis, longitndmaliter subrugoso-strialis ; diapliano

The eroded Bulimus. Shell ovate, somewhat largely 
umbiUcated, spire rather short, acuminated, whorls 
six in number, ventricose, longitudinally somewhat

Hab. Huantajaya, near Iquiqui, Peru (imder stones on the 
hdls, 2,500 feet above the level of the sea); Cuming. 
The detail of character is not much unlike that of B. 
couspersus, but it is a shell of larger size and much more 
solid growth. 
Species 141. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus .albicans. Bui. testd ovatd, umbUioatd, anfrac- 
tibus quinque, ventricosis, subrugoso-striatis, columella 
subexpausu, opaco-alblcanle, hie iUic diaplumd, aper- 
ture fauce fulvescente. 
The white Bulimus. Shell ovate, umbilicated, whorls 
five in number, ventricose, somewhat roughly striated,
