Species 436. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus Keacssi. Bvl. iestd omto-ventricosd, anfrac-

Keauss’s Bulimus. Shell ovately veutricose, whorls 
seven in number, very beautifully minutely granulated 
throughout, longitudinally plicately striated, colu- 
mella closely reflected, lip rather thickened, not 
reflected ; whitish, conspicuously flamed with reddish 
brown towards the apex, and peculiarly articulated 
above the sutures with the same colour, columella 
and inner edge of the lip deep ehesnut-purple.

This magnificent species, from a locality which has 
contributed little of particular interest to this genus, par- 
takes very much of the form of B. oblongus and its 
congeners from South Eastern America. In colouring 
it is characterized by a singular articulated band around 
the sutures, and the lip and columella are coated with an 
enamel of deep ehesnut-purple. In sculpture the entire 
■surface of the shell is beautifully minutely granulated, 
besides being plicately striated, a character to which it is 
proper to direct attention from the difficulty of representing 
it in a figure. 
The discovery of this fine species by Dr. Krauss in the 
woods of South Africa, gives us some idea of the 
richly painted snails and other animal forms that may be 
dwelling at this moment in the vast unexplored regions 
of that immense continent so fatal to European health and 
enterprise. 
Species 437. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus pubescens. Bui. testd oblongo-ovatd, umbili- 
catd, anfraciibus sex ad septem, subrotundatis, sub lente 
minutissime reticuhtis, columelld uniplicatd, rejlexd, 
labro reflexo ; pellucido-comed, epidermide tenui pubes- 
cente indutd, columelld labrogue albidis. 
The pubescent Bulimus. Shell oblong-ovate, umbili- 
cated, whorls six to seven in number, somewhat 
ronnded, very minutely reticulated beneath the lens, 
columella one-plaited, reflected, lip reflected ; trans- 
parent horny, covered with a thin pubescent epidermis, 
lip and columella whitish.

Hob. Bahia, Brazil. 
Distinguished by its minutely reticulated surface, and 
pubescent epidermis. 
Species 438. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus peateeculus. Bui. testd subaeuminato-ovatd, 
umbilicatd, tenuiculd, anfraetibus sex, oblique tenuis- 
sime plicato-striatis, striis impressis spiraliius parallelis 
re7tiotis decussatis, columelld rejlexd, labro simplici; 
pellticido-corned. 
The allied Bulimus. Shell somewhat acuminately 
ovate, umbdicated, rather thin, whorls six in number, 
obliquely very finely plicately striated, decussated 
with remote parallel spiral impressed striae, columella 
reflected, lip simple ; transparent horny.

Cochlogenafraterculus, E&ussac. 
Hab. Guadaloupe. 
The remote spiral striae which characterize this shell, 
are totally different in appearance from those which tra- 
verse it obliquely. 
Species 439. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus Oebignii. Bui. testd acuminato-oblongd, umbi- 
licatd, anfraetibus septem,, concentrice creberrme tenui- 
liratis, columelld subre/lexd, labro simplici ; albd. 
Orbigny’s Bulimus. Shell acuminately oblong, whorls 
seven in number, concentrically very closely finely 
ridged, columella slightly reflected, lip simple ; white.

Hab. Lima. 
Very like the B. scalarijormis in general aspect, but 
sufficiently distinct on comparison.
