Plate LVIII. 
Species 338. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus Mozambicensis. Bui. testa omto-conicd, sub- 
turritd, subimtbilicatd, anfractibm sex ad septem, 
IceoUius, columella late reflexd, aperturd parciusculd, 
labro simplud ; albd, anfractuum parte superiori lineis 
fuscis breviius obliqtie pictd, medio lined nigra cingu- 
laid, parte inferiori immaculatd. 
The Mozambiote Bulimus. Shell ovately conic, some- 
what turrcted, slightly umbilicated, whorls six to 
seven in number, smooth, columella broadly refleeted, 
aperture rather smaU, lip simple ; white, upper part of 
the whorls painted with short oblique brown hnes, 
encircled round the middle with a black line, lower 
part unspotted. 
Pfeiffee, Symbolm, vol. iii. p. 85. 
Hab. Mozambique. 
The painting of this species affords a character in being 
marked only above the hue which encircles the whorl at 
the sutures. 
Species 389. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus Ziegleui. Bui. testa oblongo-conicd, semi-pel- 
lucidd, vix mibilicatd, anfractibus sex, obscurl tenuis- 
sivie decussatim striatis, labro simplici ; luteo-attidd, 
seepe /asciis castaneis niaculoso-interruptis cingulatd. 
Zieglee’s Bulimus. Shell oblong conical, semitrans- 
parent, slightly umbilicated, whorls six in number, 
obscurely very finely decussately striated, lip simple ; 
yellowish white, frequently encircled with chesnut 
bands broken up into square spots. 
Pfeiffer, Pro. Zool. Soc., 1846. p. 113. 
Hab. Central America. 
The spots arising out of the interrupted character of the 
bands are disposed obliquely. 
Species 390. (Pig. 390 a, b, c, Mus. Dyson.) 
Bulimus Cueianensis. Bui. testa elongato-oblongd, 
subcylindraced, basi obtuse angulatd el ampliter uni- 
bilicatd, anfractibus septem ad octo, plano-convexis, la- 
vibus vel rnimilissime striatis, columeUd late rejlexd, 
aperturd late expansd, non reflexd, basi attenuatd, sub- 
canaliculatd; griseo-albidd, f asciis cceruteo-nigrican- 
tibus interdum cingulatd, umbilico interdum intense 
castaneo, labro intus roseo. 
The Cueiana Bulimus. Shell elongately oblong, some- 
what cylindi'ical, obtusely angled at the base and 
largely umbiheated, whorls seven to eight in number, 
flatly convex, smooth or very minutely striated, colu- 
mella broadly reflected, aperture widely expanded, 
not reflected, attenuated and slightly channelled at 
the base ; greyish-white, sometimes encircled with 
blue-black bands, umbilicus sometimes very dark 
chesnut, lip pink within. 
Hab. Curiana, Venezuela (on the leaves of Palms); Dyson. 
One of the most interesting of the many beautiful 
species of shells collected by Mr. Dyson during his recent 
expedition to Venezuela. It is very closely alhed to 
B. Knorri, but may be readily distinguished by its abrupt 
angular growth at the base, and lai'ge umbUieus.' 
Species 391. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus Humboldtii. Bui. oblongo-conicd, subventri- 
cosd, tcmbilicatd, suturis impressis, anfractibus septem, 
subrotimdatis, Imvibus, politis, columelld late reflexd,

peculiariter temie interruptis, infernb cingulatd. 
Humboldt’s Bulimus. Shell oblong-conic, somewhat 
ventricose, umbilicated, sutiues impressed, whorls 
seven in number, rather rounded, smooth, polished, 
eolumeUa broadly reflected, Hp simple; porcelain 
white, encircled round the lower part with three pecu- 
liarly finely interrupted chesnut bands. 
Bulimus Mexicanus, Valenciennes (not of Lamarck) in 
Humb. Voy. Zool. vol. ii. p. 247. pi. 56. f. 1. 
Hab. Mexico; Humboldt. 
This shell, an authentic specimen of Humboldt’s species, 
received by Mr. Cuming from Paris, is essentially distinct 
from Lamarck’s B. Mexicanus (PL XL. Sp. 244), though 
resembling it in general aspect. 
Species 392. (Mus. Dyson.) 
Bulimus eeectus. Bui. testd pyramidali-oblongd, umbili- 
catd, spird acuminata, suturis impressis, anfractibus 
subrotimdatis, longitudinaliter rude striatis ; columelld 
late reflexd, labro tenui, simplici ; pellucido-corned. 
The erect Bulimus. Shell pyramidally oblong, um- 
bilicated, spire acuminated with the sutures impressed.
