The coloured Bulimus. Shell ovate, very veutricose, 
scarcely umbilicated, spire short, whorls five iu num- 
ber, tumidly convex, very beautifully minutely pro- 
miscuously granulated, very finely creuulated at the

ture rather large, outer and columeUar lips connected 
by a callous lamina on the body whorl, peritreme

Hah. Province of Cumana, Colombia ; Punck, 
A truly interesting species collected by M. Punck, the 
South American traveller, in the interior of Colombia, 
and first described by M. Nyst in the Transactions of the 
lloyal Academy of Brussels, from a specimen of much 
younger and more pellucid growth than those before me. 
The most characteristic featm'es of the species are its 
beautifully granulated surface and richly shadowed undu- 
lated painting, whilst the lip is of a deep rose colour, and 
the interior lined with a delicate pinkish bloom, through 
which the outer pattern is discernible. 
Species 156. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus Lamarckiakus. Bui. testa ovatd, ventricosis- 
umd, viic umiilkatd, spird brevi, anfractiius quinque, 
subplano-convexis, minutb promiscui obtuso-granulatis, 
ad suturas subtilissime crenulatis, columelld plied unied 
ascendente, aperturd subampld, perilremate conspimie 
rejlexo ; pallide livido-fuscescente, punctis grandibus 
castaneis hie illic piperatd, epidermide olivaced indutd, 
peritremute livido-fusco. 
Lamarck’s Bulimus. Shell ovate, very ventricosc, 
scarcely umbilicated, spire short, whorls five in num- 
ber, rather flatly convex, minutely promiscuously 
obtusely granulated, very finely crenulated at the 
sutm'es, eolumeUa with a single ascending fold, aper- 
ture rather large, peritreme conspicuously reflected ; 
pale livid brown, peppered here and there with large 
ehesnut dots, covered with an olive-broum epidermis, 
peritreme livid brown. 
Pfeiffer, Monog. Bui. 
Sab. Andes of New Granada (at an elevation of about 
8,000 feet) ; Punck. 
So closely does this species approximate to the pre- 
ceding, that I feel somewhat doubtful of the propriety of 
retaining it ; they appear to differ, so far as may be judged 
by a comparison of the specimens here figured, but it is 
easy to conceive that a larger series woidd reveal a much 
closer affinity between them. 
Species 157. (Mus. Dennison.) 
Bulimus pardalis. Bul.testd oblongo-ovali, subventricesd, 
crassiusetdd, anfractibus quinque, suboblique eonvolutk, 
apicem versus minutissitne creberrime obhiso-granulatis, 
per suturas undique longitudinaliter crenulatis, colu- 
melld contortd, fortiter uniplicatd, labro conspieui re- 
jlexo ; purpurascente-fused, longitudinaliter albijlam- 
matd, epidermide lutescente-olivaced indutd, columelld 
et perilremate albis. 
The panther Bulimus. Shell oblong-oval, rather ven- 
tricose, somewhat thick, whorls five in number, rather 
obliquely convoluted, very minutely and closely ob- 
tusely granulated towards the apex, longitudinally 
crenulated throughout along the sutures, columella 
twisted, with a strong winding plait, lip conspicu- 
ously reflected ; purplish-brown, longitudinally flamed 
with white, and covered by a yellowish olive epi- 
dermis. 
De Perussac, Hist. Moll. terr. et fluv. pi. 112. f. 7. 8. 
Bulimus Venezuelensis, Nyst. 
Bulimus atrapoides, Jonas. 
Hab. Cumana, Venezuela; Punck. Varinas, Venezuela ; 
Dyson. 
It is somewhat difficult to recognise this species by the 
figure of M. De Perussac, it being only known to the illus- 
trious author of the ‘ Histoire des Coquitles Terrestres ’ 
June, 1848.
