The beaten Bdlisihs. Shell oblong-ovate, inflated, 
spire rather short, acuminated, whorls five in number, 
longitudinally striated, transversely peculiarly wrin- 
kled, last whorl very large ; columella strongly one-

inregularly spotted here and there with chesnut, in- 
terior yellowish.

Hab. 
The chesnut spots of this shell, which is now compara- 
tively well known to collectors, have very much the ap- 
pearance of scattered fragments of horny epidermis.

Bulimus fulguratus. Bid. testa oblongo-ovatd, umbi- 
licatd, subinjlatd, anfractibus quinque longitudinaliter

The lightning-struck Bulimus. Shell oblong-ovate, 
umbiheated, somewhat inflated, whorls five in num- 
ber, longitudinally very faintly striated, transversely 
peculiarly wrinkled, columella strongly one-plaited, 
bp widely reflected; white, longitudinally streaked 
in a waved manner ivith brown, and covered with a

Although the B. fulguratus is of a more cyUndricaUy 
oblong form than the preceding species, and of a different 
colour and pattern, it is very similar in regard to sculpture, 
and in the strongly plaited columella. The transversely 
corrugated smface of these is rarely met with in the genus. 
Species 176. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus Hartwegii. Bul. testa elongato-oblongd, sub- 
cylindraced, anfractibus sex, convexis, longitudinaliter 
rude striatis, per marginem cremdatis, columelld an-

reflexo ; ustulato-spadiced, nigricante-fusco hie illic 
irregulariter angust'e strigatd, intus violascente-albd. 
Hartweg’s Bulimus. Shell elongately oblong, some- 
what cylindrical, whorls six in number, convex, lon- 
gitudinally rudely striated, crenulated along the 
margin, columella narrow, straight, aperture rather 
small, lip simple, scarcely reflected; scorched bay 
colour, irregularly marked here and there with narrow 
streaks, interior violet-tinged white.

The columella, though solidified, seems inclined to roll 
back, after the manner of those species approaching to 
Achatina.

Downes’ Bulimus. Shell pyramidally oblong, spire 
acuminated, obtuse at the apex; whorls seven in

frequently chesnut black, columella and peritreme rose 
or scarlet-tinged, interior bluish white.
