BULIMUS. — Plate XXII. 
of B. conspenus and erosus, but is, I believe, sufficiently 
distinct. 
Species 142. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus apodemetes. Bui. tesla ovatd, tenui, inflata, 
vix umbilicatd, anfractibus quinqiie, subrugoso-strlatis, 
ultimo valde maximo, aperturd subampld, labro tenui ; 
aWidd. 
The exile Bulimus. Shell ovate, tliin, inflated, scarcely 
umbilicated, whorls five in number, rather roughly 
striated, last whorl very much the largest, aperture 
somewhat large, lip thin ; whitish.

Hab. Bolivia, &c. ; D’Orbigny. 
I must refer the reader for a better illustration of this 
speeies to the above-mentioned magnifieent work by M. 
D’Orbigny, the present uncoloured specimen giving no 
other idea of it than that of form. In reference to colour 
M. D’Orbiguy says, “ the tints are extremely variable 
according to the localities; at Parana the shell is pale- 
yellow or dotted, often marked with transverse lines of 
marbled white and clear broivn, with indications of distant 
clear brown longitudinal lines ; at Cliiquitos, on the other 
hand, it is distinguished by longitudinal brown bands 
only, which are then more conspicuous.” 
Species 143. (Pig. a and h. Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus stbiatulus. Bui. testd pyramidali-ovatd, tenui, 
diaphand, conspicue umbilicatd, anfractibus rotundatis, 
pulcherrinie creberrime concentrice elevato-striatis, 
columella rejlexd, labro simplid ; pallide corned, Irans- 
lucidd, slriis opaco-albis, /asciis plurmis albidis inter- 
ruptis cingulatd. 
The finely striated Bulimus. Shell pyramidally 
ovate, thin, diaphanous, conspicuously umbilicated, 
whorls rounded, very beautifully closely concentrically 
elevately striated, columella reflected, lip simple; 
pale horny colour, transparent, the striae opake- 
white, encircled with numerous interrupted whitish 
bands.

Bulbnus B'Orbignii, Pfeifler, 
Ilab. Lima (under stones on the hiUs) ; Cuming. 
A beautiful species, distinguished by the delicate aspect 
of its fine opake-wliite striae upon a transparent horny 
ground. 
Fig. a is a representation of the specimen upon which 
Mr. Sowerby founded the species, and Fig. b is the sheU 
described by Dr. Pfeifler under the name B. lyOrbignii. 
Species 144. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus guttatus. Bui. testd pyramidali-oblongd, sub- 
fusiformi, umbilicatd, apice papillari, anfractibus sex, 
longitudinaliter rugoso-striatis, ad suturas creuulatis ; 
fulw-fuscescente, guttis apaco-albis longitudinaliter 
notatd, apice rosaceo-fuscd. 
The mottled Bulimus. Shell pyramidally-oblong, 
somewhat fusiform, umbilicated, apex papillary, 
whorls six in number, longitudinally rugosely striated, 
crenulated at the sutures ; pale fulvous-brown, longi- 
tudinally marked with opake-white speckles; apex 
pinkish-brown. 
Broderip, Pro. Zool. Soc., 1832, p. 31. 
-Hab. Cobija; Cuming. 
This species like others of the plate is chai'acterized by 
a sprinkling of opake-white spots, and it is distinguished 
by its papillary apex.
