Bulimus liaplostglus, Pfeiffer. 
Hob. El Catamaija, near Loxa, Bepublic of Equador,

Chiefly distinguished by the very simple structure of the 
columella and the raised concentric striae which have 
almost the appearance of fine ribs. 
I am indebted to a visit to the collection of the Bev. 
S. C. E. Neville Bolfe of Heacham Hall, for having had my 
attention directed to the above recorded species of De 
Eerussac, with which Dr. Pfeiffer does not seem to have 
been acquainted. 
Species 342. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus calcareus. Bui. testd elongato-turritd, apicem 
versus solidiusculd, twmidd, anfractibus duodecim, lon-

Helix calcarea. Born. 
Bulimus maritimus, Spix, Deshayes. 
Eab. Brazil, 
M. Deshayes is correct in assigning this species to the 
B. maritimus of Spix, but it will be found to agree also 
with the Helix calcarea of Born, represented in the Mus. 
Caes. Vindobonense, stripped of its rich brown chesnut 
epidermis, beneath which it is of a peculiar opake lime-white 
character. It is the largest and most sobd of the turri- 
culated Bulimi, and has not a reflected lip.

albd, epidermide temdculd luteo-olivaced indutd. 
The obelisk Bulimus. Shell elongately turreted, acu- 
minated, whorls eighteen in number, flatly convex,

minute spiral impressed striae, lip and columella very
