This has a somewhat closer affinity rvith the two following 
species than with the two which precede.

This is the type of the group, Sp. 355 to 358, which, as 
before mentioned, I am mclined to think are but one 
species in different states. 
Species 359. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus eimatus. Bui. testa cglindraceo-elongatd, tenui, 
subcorned, late umbilicatd, anfractibns sex, Irecibus,

The clefted Bulimus. Shell cylindi-icaUy elongated, 
thin, somewhat homy, broadly mnbilicated, whorls 
six in number, smooth, rather shining, columella ex- 
panded, aperture nearly orbicular and produced; light 
brown.

of the aperture. 
Species 360. (Mus. Cuming.)

The lofty-dwelling Bulimus. Shell oblong-ovate, 
rather thick, scarcely umbilicated, whorls seven in 
number, very minutely flatly granulated, longitudinally 
radely elevately striated, columella reflected, some- 
what twisted, lip simple, sbghtly expanded ; whitish, 
stained with pale brownish ash-colom- towards the 
apex, and marked here and there with longitudinal 
red lines. 
For authority, locality, and remai-ks on this species see 
PI. XVII. Sp. 98, in which place a shell is represented 
agreeing better with the B. litJioicus of D’Orbigny.

amplite)- umbilicatd, anfractibns sex, convexis, lon-
