Guilding, mss. ? 
Hah. St. Vincents, West Indies ? 
Mr. Cuming possesses this shell as an inhabitant of 
St. Vincents, accompanied with the above name, as having 
been given to it by the Kev. Lansdowne Guilding. It is 
but right, however, to add that the authenticity of this 
name and locality requires confirmation. 
Species 288. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus tenuissimus. Bul. testa ovatd, tenui, vix um- 
bilicatd, anfractibus quinque ad sex, obscure rugoso- 
striatis ; columelM subdepresso-^ejkxd, lahro tenui,

p. 233. 
Hab. Bengal. 
Easily recognised by its black apex and characteristic 
linear painting, the lower part of the whorls being en- 
circled by two chesnut lines, one of which is concealed in 
aU but the last by the superposition of one whorl upon 
the other.
