The citron Bulimhs. Shell somewhat elongately ovate, 
rather thick, either dextral or sinistral, whorls six to 
seven in number, somewhat roimded, smooth, shining; 
bright citron yellow, sometimes flamed with reddish 
brown, white near the sutures, sometimes painted 
with a chesnut-black longitudinal fillet, Hp and 
peritreme^hite.

This species is so well known by its long-established 
name, B. citrinus, that I have hesitated to adopt the 
Linnsean title Helix perversa, believing it probable that the 
author of the Systema Naturse, included more than one 
reversed species under that appellation.

The black-callohs Bhlimus. Shell oblong-ovate, 
somewhat inflated towards the base, spire acumi- 
nated, whorls six or seven in number, somewhat 
rounded, smooth, sliining. Up expanded, tvidely 
reflected; white, stained tvith greenish yellow, the 
part above the cohunella covered with a callous 
deep purple-black lamina, last whorl painted with a 
longitudinal fillet of the same colour, aperture white.

I fear there is not much difference between this and the 
preceding species, beyond the callous purple-black lamina 
which Unes the interior of the body-whorl, and is of some- 
what doubtful importance. 
Species 189. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus Lindeni. Bui. testd cylindraceo-oblongd, cras-

Linden’s Bulimus. Shell cyUndrically oblong, rather 
thick, apex obtusely depressed, whorls five to six in 
number, decussately rudely striated and finely in- 
dented, faintly crenulated along the margin; colu- 
mella one-plaited, aperture rather small. Up somewhat 
thickened, reflected ; cream colour, sparingly streaked 
with black, purpUsh towards the apex, and covered 
with an oUve-green epidermis, interior of the aperture 
bluish white. Up pale saffron colour. 
Bulimus leptoelieilus, Pfeiffer. 
Hab. La Baja, Province of Pamplona, New Granada; 
Fimck, Linden. 
Notwithstanding the importance which is very properly 
attached to the priority of names, there are exceptions, as 
in the instance before us, in which a name may require to 
be changed. The term leptoelieilus, or thin-lipped, denotes a 
character which is not found in the adult species ; the sheUs 
of aU Btdimi are “thin-Upped” in an immature state, and 
many remain so at maturity ; but in the species under 
consideration, the Up is thickened and rather widely re- 
flected. I therefore venture to name it anew, in honour 
of the indefatigable, botanist and shell-coUector, to whom 
we are indebted for so many beautifid species of Btdimi 
from the luxmiant district of New Granada.
