Pfeiffee, Monog. liel. viv., p. 95. 
Hab. La Guayra. 
Chiefly distinguished by a peculiar attenuation of the 
apertm'e, and by the deep pink or saffron colom'ing of the 
Up. The outer colouring of the shell is extremely variable. 
Species 271. (Mus. Dennison.) 
Bulimus xanthostoma. Bui. testd fusiformi-ovatd, 
ampliter umbilicatd, spird subaciminatd, anfractibus 
octo, icembus, sub lente transversim minute striatis et

The yellow-mouth Bulimus. SheU fusiformly ovate, 
largely umbiUcated, spire somewhat acuminated, 
whorls eight in number, smooth, transversely mi- 
nutely striated and indented under the lens, columeUa

f. 1, 2. 
Hab. BoUvia and Santa Ee di Bogota. 
Mainly distinguished from the preceding species by its 
more acuminated growth, comprising a whorl more, and 
less oblong form of the aperture. 
Species 272. (Mus. Brit.) 
Bulimus Baiedii. Bui. testd cylindraceo-ollongd, crassd, 
anfractibus septem, plano-convexis, columelld callosita- 
tibus grandihus duahus munitd, aperturd parviusculd,

labroque eburneis, aperturce fauce eroced. 
Baied’s Bulimus. SheU cyUndrically oblong, tliick, 
whorls seven in number, flatly convex, columella 
furnished with two large caUosities, aperture rather 
smaU, Up thickened, reflected; white, stained with 
brown. Up and columella ivory white, interior of the 
aperture saffron-veUow. 
Hab. ? 
This very interesting shell partakes of the characters of 
the B. auris-bovina and auris-Midee, the latter of which, 
as may be seen by a comparison of the figure at PL 28, 
with one in Martyn’s Universal Conchologist (sub nom. 
Helix fibratus), assumes very different aspects, but none 
with which the present agrees. 
I have the pleasure to name this species in honour of 
Dr. Baird of the British Museum, as a trifling acknow- 
ledgment of his great dUigence in sorting the specimens 
of the national coUection, preparatory to their being criti- 
caUy arranged and named. 
October, 1848.
