and patches of snow at nearly 14,000 feet above the 
level of the sea) ; Capt. Hutton. 
Mr. Benson is of opinion that this speeies, distinguished 
by its stout cylindrical form and reversed growth, which 
has been upwards of twelve years in his collection, is 
the Pupa sylvalica of Hutton, described in M‘Clelland’s 
.Journal for January, 1841, as being found among juniper 
bushes at Burrenda Pass, and of which the name is pre- 
occupied in the present genus to which this species strictly 
belongs. It is remarkable for its stout cylindrical form 
and reversed growth ; it should, however, be remembered 
when referring to the plate, that the figure is veiy con- 
siderably magnified.

Bulimus tuebicula. Bui. testd cylindraceo-turritd, 
minute umbilicatd, prope apiem peculiariter attenuatd,

The little tueeet Bulimus. Shell eylindrieally tur- 
reted, minutely umbiheated, peculiarly attenuated 
near the apex, whorls nine in number, rounded, very 
obliquely closely striated in a fine rib-like mannet, 
columella broadly appressed, aperture nearly circular ; 
light brown, marbled here and there with arched 
brown-shaded white streaks.

Pig. 498. (Mus. Cuming.) 
This little triangular shell, of which the figure is very 
highly magnified, proves to be the extreme young of 
B. Calebs {B. solitarius, Hutton) PI. XLVII. Sp. 301, from 
Western Himalaya.

Bulimus venteosus. Bui. testd subpyramidali-conicd,

The venteicose Bulimus. Shell somewhat pyramidally 
conical, minutely and deeply umbdicated, whorls 
seven in number, rather flatly convex, peculiarly 
obscurely plicately wrinkled, columella reflected, 
aperture nearly circular, lip simple ; whitish, encircled 
with a narrow black band at the base.

The narrow black band which encircles the base of this 
shell is not an unimportant character.
