BULTMUS.— Plate XXIX. 
There are apparently two well-marked varieties of this 
species, one of a deep burnt red colour, dark chesnut- 
black round the lower part, with a rose lip as in the richly 
coloured specimen here figured from the collection of 
Mr. Dennison; the other of a purplish colour, merely 
brownish towards the lower part and having the lip tinged 
with scarlet, as in Mr. Cuming’s specimen. 
Several fine examples of B. Bowitedi were collected by 
Mr. Eraser at the above-mentioned island, during Ids 
adventure in the unfortunate Niger Expedition.

A very handsome characteristic new species totally dis- 
tinct from any hitherto known, for which I am indebted 
to the UberaUty of J. Dennison, Esq., who possesses two 
examples agreeing with each other in the minutest detail.

Easily distinguished by its style of painting, the colour 
being arranged round the upper and lower parts of the 
whorls in large oblong-square blotches, generally flowing 
irregularly one into the other.
