Hab. ? 
There is little to characterize this species, of which 
Mr. Cuming has several specimens, yet it is distinct from 
any previously described. 
Species 640. (Mus. East India Company.) 
Bulimus ecus. Bui. testd cylindraceo-oblongd, obesiusculd,

pi. 1. f. 4. 
Hab. Guinea. 
A very delicate, thin shell, chiefly remarkable for the 
twisted growth of the columella, and for the sinuated lip, 
which causes the striae to be formed in curves. 
Species 642. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus tepidulus. Bui. testd subpyramidali, com- 
presse umbilieatd, anfractibus septem, convexis, leevibus, 
suturis impressis, columelld verticali, aperturd pared,

funde umbilieatd, anfractibus sex, rotundatis, tenue

Hab. Texas, United States. 
The locality of this species may be regarded as about 
the northern limit of the genus in the new world.
