anfraciibus septem, concmdrice rude corrugato-striatis, 
aperturd subpmdrato-ovald,panlulum effusd ; olivaceo- 
fiiscd, rufescente tinctd, apice nigricante, aperturce 
fauce carulescetde-albd, prope marginein fused.

whorls seven in number, coueentricuUy rudely stria- 
ted in a wrinkled manner, aperture somewhat squarely

Bbodeeip, Pro. Zool. Soo., 1833, p. 135. 
llab. Charles’s Island, Gallapagos (on bushes); Cuming. 
The apertui-e of this species is frequently compressed at 
the sides so as to give it a somewhat square aspect. 
Species 151. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus derelictus. Bui. testd acumiuato-omtd, am- 
pliter umbilicatd, anfractibus sex, subrotundatis, subti- 
lissiitie granoso-striatis, cohmelld labroque expamis, 
apice papillari; corneo-albidd, opaco-albo hie illic 
conspersd. 
The forsaken Bulimus Shell acuminately ovate, 
largely mnbiUcated, whorls six in number, somewhat 
rounded, very finely granosely striated, lip and colu- 
mella expanded, apex papillary ; flesh-white, sprinkled 
here and there with opake-white. 
Broderip, Pro. Zool. Soc., 1833, p. 107. 
Hab. Cobija; Cuming. 
The name attached to this shell is intended to denote 
the solitary habitat in which it was found by Mr. Cuming, 
on flat rocks without soil or verdure, all being desolate for 
a league around. M. D’Orbigny notices having collected 
it of a pinky hue, at a greater elevation upon some lichens 
and cactuses. 
Species 163. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus vexillum. Bui. testd oblongo-ovatd, corned, 
subpellucidd, anfractibus quinqne, l/Evigatis, nitidis; 
luteo-albicante, f asciis plurimis eastaneis cmgulatd. 
The flag Bulimus. Shell oblong-ovate, horny, semi- 
transparent, whorls five in number, smooth, shining ; 
yellowish-white, encircled by numerous chesnut 
bands. 
Broderip, Pro. Zool. Soc., 1833, p. 105. 
Hob. King’s and Saboga Islands, Bay of Panama (on the 
trunks of large trees) ; Cuming. 
This comparatively well-known species has, 1 believe, 
been called B. aliernatus by Dr. Beck, in consequence of 
Mr. Broderip’s name having been formerly applied by 
Bniguiere to the shell commonly known as Achatina vexil- 
lum. M. Deshayes does not, however, think there is any 
necessity for this change, and lest it might add to the 
confusion I have avoided it. 
Species 153. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus pessulatus. Bui. testd ovatd, tenui, inflatd, 
anfractibus quinque, rotmidatis, ventricosis, Icevibus, 
labro simplici ; pellucido-corned, epidermideferrugineo- 
albo opaco, castaneo longitudinaliter strigatd, strigis 
distantibus, conspicnis. 
The cross-barred Bulimus. Shell ovate, thin, inflated, 
whorls five in number, rounded, ventricosc, smooth, 
lip simple; transparent homy, covered by a rusty 
white opake epidemiis, crossed with conspicuous 
distant longitudinal streaks. 
Hab. Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia (on bushes and high 
grass) ; Bridges. 
This has much the appearance of being an immature 
shell, but the specimens collected by Mr. Bridges are all 
ahke, and are without doubt of adult growth. 
Species 154. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus affinis. Bui. testd Aongato-ovatd, subfusiformi, 
umbilicatd, anfractibus septem, convexis, longitudina- 
liter rngoso-striatis, labro simplici; pallide corned, 
macidis strigisque undatis opaco-albis profuse notatd, 
apice rosed. 
The allied Bulimus. Shell clongately ovate, somewhat 
fusiform, umbilieated, whorls seven in number, 
convex, longitudinally roughly striated, lip simple ; 
pale horny, profusely marked with opake-white waved 
streaks and spots, pink at the apex. 
Broderip, Pro. Zool. Soc., 1833., p. 105. 
Hab. MexiUones, desert of Atacama, Peru (in small 
crevices of the dry earth at an elevation of 3,000 feet 
above the sea) ; Cuming. 
A light transparent shell covered with delicate flakes of 
opake-white.
