The nosEATE Bulimus. Shell oHong-ovate, rather tliin, 
scarcely umbilicated, whorls sis to seven in number, 
rather ventricose, transversely very minutely im- 
pressly striated, columella reflected, lip somewhat 
expanded, thin, sharp ; wliitish, faintly tinged with 
rose, and sometimes marked round the upper part 
with brownish longitudinal streaks. 
B.ab. Venezuela. 
A delicately coloured species, approximating closely in 
form and style of painting to the B. oreades. 
Species 354. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus fematus. Bui. testa acuminato-oblongd, vix 
umbilicatd, anfractibm sex, transverdm sub lente mirac- 
tissinie impresso-striatis, columella rejlexd, lahro ex- 
panse, simplici, vix rejlexo ; viresceiite-alLd, maculis 
paucis oUvaceo-fuscis guadratis props apicem notatis, 
fascia conspkud circa umbilicum. 
The unemployed Bulimus. Shell acuminately oblong, 
scarcely umbilicated, whorls six in number, trans- 
versely very minutely impressly striated beneath the 
lens, columella reflected, lip expanded, simple, slightly 
reflected ; greenish-wliite, marked near the apex with 
a few square olive-brown spots, and a conspicuous 
band round the umbilicus. 
Hab. Venezuela. 
Another interesting new species from the same locality 
as the preceding. 
Species 356. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulijius pekdix. Bui. testa ovato-oblongd, solidiuscidd, 
umbilicatd, anfractibiis quingue ad sex, longititdiualiter 
creberrimh elevato-striatis, gibbosiusculis, coltmielld 
obscure plicatd, labro rejlexo ; albidd, Jlammis maculis 
punctisque candeo-nigrkantihus variegatd, columelld 
superne purpurascente. 
The paktridge Bulijius. Shell ovately oblong, rather 
solid, umbilicated, whorls five to six in number, lon- 
gitudinally very closely elevately striated, rather 
gibbous, columeUa obscurely plaited, lip reflected ; 
whitish, variegated with bine-black flames blotches 
and dots, columella purplish at the upper part. 
Pfeiffer, Pro. Zool. Soc., 1847. 
Hab. New Granada ; Fuuck. 
This and the three following having been described as 
separate species, and, not to differ in a case which may be 
regarded a matter of opinion, they are here published as 
such ; I cannot however forbear expressing my conviction 
that notwithstanding their apparent dilferences of form 
and detail of growth, they are but so many modified con- 
ditions of the same species. In the state described as 
B.perdix, the longitudinal strim are extremely regular, the 
aperture is rounded, and the plait of the columella is 
only obscurely developed at the upper part. 
Species 366. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus euryomphalus. Bui. testd fusiformi-oblongd, 
soUdiusculd, umbilicatd, basi angulato-compressd, an- 
fractibus guingue ad sex, creberrime longitudinaliter 
striatis, columelld plicatd, aperturd trigono-contracld, 
lahro reflexo ; cmndescente-albd, punctis maculisgue 
fulgurantdjus nigrkantibus varkgatd, columelld intense 
purpurea. 
The broad-plaited Bulimus. Shell fusiformly oblong, 
rather solid, umbUicated, angularly compressed at 
the base, whorls five to six in number, very closely 
longitudinally striated, columella plaited, aperture 
triangularly contracted, lip reflected; bluish-white, 
clouded with black zigzag blotches and dots, columeUa 
deep purple. 
Hah. Venezuela; Dyson. 
Chiefly distinguished by its clouded zigzag style of 
painting. 
Species 357. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus glaber. Bui. testd subfusiformi-ovatd, umbili- 
catd, crassd, solidd, basi subcontraetd, anfractibus quin- 
gue ad sex, longitudinaliter corrugato-striatis, columelld 
plicatd, labro incrassato, reflexo ; albidd, strigis griseo- 
rubentibus nebulatd et variegatd.
