The CHRIOUSLY-FOBMEB Bdlimus. Shell pyramidal, 
angularly compressed and umbilicated at the base, 
whorls seven in number, longitudinally roughly stri- 
ated and irregularly indented, columella reflected, 
aperture channelled at the base, Hp simple ; whitish, 
finely and closely sti-eaked with brown, the steeaks 
- descending only to the basal angle, columeUa tinged 
with pink, interior of the aperture bluish. 
Hah. Province of Merida, New Granada; Linden. 
Of the same peculiarly angled structure at the base as 
the B. canalmdatus, from which it is amply distinguished 
by its more elongated form, solid growth, and different 
style of colouring. 
Species 320. (Pig. a and 5, Mus. Cuming.) 
Bhlimus vibghlatus. Bui. testa acuminato-oblongd, vix 
umbilicatd, anfractibus septem. Iambus, aperturd ovatd, 
labro smplici ; alba, f asciis castaneis interruptis varie 
dispodtis, interdum rufescente-croced, immaculatd. 
The striped Bhlimus. Shell acuminately oblong, 
scarcely umbilicated, whorls seven in number, smooth, 
aperture ovate, lip simple; white, with interrupted 
chesnut bands, variously dis[)osed, sometimes of a 
rich reddish saffron, unspotted. 
Cochlogena virgulata, Pa’ussac, Hist. Moll. pi. 142. B.

Extremely variable both in colour and pattern.

vix unMlicatd, anfractibus sex, oblique creberrme stri- 
atis, lah-o tenui dinplid; albidd, nigricante-ceeruleo

The mottled Bulimus. Shell ovate, thin, ventricose, 
scarcely umbilicated, whorls six in number, obliquely 
very closely striated. Up thin, simple ; whitish, lon- 
gitudinally blotched and waved with blackish-blue. 
Helix lila, Perussac, Prodrome, p. 54. 
Bulimus lituratus, Spix. 
Bulimus magus, Wagner. 
Hal. Brazil. 
Very closely allied to the B.papyraceus, which it is not 
improbable may be another state of the species. 
Species 322. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus miltocheilus. Bui. testd aciminato-oblotigd, 
suhcylindraced, umbilicatd, anfractibus sex, leevigatis, 
semipellucidis, nitentibus, longitudhialiter peeuliariter 
plicatis, columelld late reflexd, aperturd oblongd, labro 
reflexo ; cereo-albd, labro intense cocchieo-miniato. 
The vermilion-lip Bulimus. Shell acuminately oblong, 
somewhat cylindrical, umbilicated, whorls six in 
number, smooth, semitransparent, shining, longitudi- 
nally peculiarly plaited, columella broadly reflected, 
aperture oblong, lip reflected ; waxen-white. Up deep 
scarlet-vermUion. 
Hal. San Christoval, south-eastern island of Solomon’s 
Group, north-east coast of New Holland. 
A shell of cm-iously plaited growth, remarkable for its 
semipellucid wax-bke appearance, with which its rich 
vermilion lip presents a notable contrast. Mr. Cuming 
possesses several specimens from the above named locality, 
all in the same condition, which seems perfectly natural 
and not the result of any artificial dealing. 
Species 323. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus rhodostoma. Bui. testd ovatd, subventricosd, 
umbilicatd, anfractibus sex, longitudinaliter subrude 
striatis, ad suturas cremdatis, columelld reflexd, labro 
simplici ; roseo-brunnescente. 
The rose-mouth Bulimus. Shell ovate, rather ventii- 
cose, umbilicated, whorls six in number, longitudinally 
somewhat rudely striated, crenulated at the sutures ; 
columella reflected, bp simple ; rose-brown.
