Achalina turbinata. Lea, Trans. Am. Phil. Soc., vol.ii. p.31. 
Hah. West Coast of Africa 
1 find this shell with the above name attached to it, 
but am not at all sure that it is the species. It is cer- 
tainly distinct from the allied African forms. 
Species 606. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus bipulguratus. Bul. testd ventricoso-omtd, 
tenuiculd, anfractibus sex, oblique plicato-striatis, striis 
regularibus, labritm versus evanidis, columelld tenui, 
subcotttortd, aperturd ovatd, labro simplici ; fusces- 
cente, intense candeo-viridi tinctd, lineis Jlavidis, Unis, 
acute undatis, undique fulguratd. 
The double-waved Bulimus. Shell ventricosely ovate, 
rather thin, obliquely plicately striated, striae regular, 
fading towards the Up, columella thin, slightly twisted, 
aperture ovate, lip simple ; light brown, stained with 
^deep blue-green, Ughtning-marked throughout with 
yellow zigzag lines in pairs. 
Hab. Andes of Columbia. 
An interesting new species allied to B. zebra, but very 
distinctly characterized in its varieties of painting. 
Species 607. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus proximus. Bul. testd globoso-ovatd, ventrico- 
sissimd. Mud umbilicatd, anfractibus sex, undique mi- 
nutissime granulosis, apicem versus obscure radiatim 
costulatis, columelld subconlortd, bad recedente, labro 
subincrassato, rejlexo ; fused, infra suturas pallide 
fasciatd, epidermide olivaceo-corneo indutd, columelld 
labroque albis. 
The allied Bulimus. Shell globosely ovate, very ven- 
tricose, not umbUicated, whorls six in number, very 
minutely granulated throughout, obscm’ely radiately 
finely ribbed towards the apex, columella sUghtly 
twisted, receding at the base. Up rather thickened, 
reflected ; brown, with a pale band beneath the su- 
tures, covered with an oUve horny epidermis, Up and 
columella white. 
Sowerby, Conch. lUustrations, f. 103. 
Hob. Brazil. 
Constantly distinguished by its broad rudely swoUen 
form, and Ught band beneath the sutures. 
Species 608. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus adoptus. Bul. testd subelongato-oblongd, cras- 
siusculd. Mud umbilicatd, anfractibus quinque ad sex, 
longitudinaliter subrude siriatis, ad suturas subliliter 
plicaio-crenulatis, columelld incrassatd, peculiariter 
late depressd, aperturd ovatd, labro crassatim rejlexo ; 
olivaceo-fuscd, apicem versus pallide Jlammatd. 
The adopted-- Bulimus. SheU somewhat elongately 
oblong, rather thick, not umbUicated, whorls five to 
six in number, longitudinaUy somewhat rudely stri- 
ated, finely plicately crenulated at the sutures, colu- 
mella thickened, peculiarly broadly depressed, aper- 
ture ovate. Up thickly reflected ; oUve-brown, palely 
flamed towards the apex. 
Hab. Banks of the Orinoco. 
AUied in form to B. FuneJeii, from which it may be 
recognised by its colouring and pattern of Ught flames. 
Species 609. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus caliginosus. Bul. testd oblongo-ovatd, baud 
umbilicatd, anfractibus sex, oblique rude striatis, colu- 
melld laie rejlexd, appressd, aperturd ovatd, labro sim- 
plici ; cinered vel albicante,ferrugineo-fusco irregula- 
riter strigato-tinetd. 
The darkened Bulimus. SheU oblong-ovate, not um- 
biUcated, whorls six in number, obUquely rudely 
striated, columella broadly reflected, appressed, aper-

Hab. ? 
There is Uttle of character to distinguish this species, 
although it is not referable to any hitherto described.
