It may be observed that this shell is almost equally 
ventricose and inflated with the preceding species, though 
not exactly of the same form. It is, moreover, of lighter 
structure, and, instead of being covered with granules, it 
has merely a few near the sutures of a rude oblong shape, 
set in exact rows more or less distant from each other.

“ We met with the B. gallina-sultana," says M. D’Or- 
bigny, “ in the hot damp forests, inhabited by the savage 
Guarayos, in the centre of the republic of BoKvia. There, 
they bury themselves among the roots of trees and only 
come forth during the rainy season; they then crawl 
upon the trunk and stems to inhale the moisture, and as 
soon as the rains begin to cease, they descend and again 
bury themselves in the earth, where they remain concealed 
until the following season.”

Bulimus hetekotbichus. Bui. testd conico-ovatd, sub-

melld latiusculd, labro exiliter reflexo ; olivaceo-flavidd, 
epidermide setosd indutd, sells subtilibus, in seriebus

The differently-bristled Bulimus. Shell conically 
ovate, somewhat globose, umbilicated, whorls six to 
seven in number, rounded, under the lens minutely 
decussated throughout with striae, columella rather 
broad, lip delicately reflected ; olive yellow, covered 
with a bristly epidermis, of which the bristles are 
fine and arranged in rather distant spiral rows.

Hab. Brazil, 
Well characterized by its delicate bristly epidermis, 
deprived of which, the species may be equally recognised 
by its peculiar form and minute decussated sculpture, 
looking, as it were, like a fine web of punctures.
