BULIMUS 
Plate LXXXIX. 
Sp. 367. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus interstinctus. Having been favoured 
\vith finer specimens of this very interesting species, col- 
lected by Dr. Perkins at Cape Palmas, West Africa, I avail 
myself of the opportunity of figuring two characteristic 
varieties. 
Species 661. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus Kellettii. Bui. testa ovatd, siibvetitricosd, 
anfractibus quinque, convexis, rugoso-stnatis, ad suturas 
subplicato-crenulatis, anfractu ultimo multb maximo, 
columella incrassatd, peculiariter contortd, aperturd 
subeffusd, laJbro incrassato, reflexo ; (nerulescetde-grised 
saturate quadrifasciatd, strigis angustis albis inter- 
ruptis et tindatis longitudinaliter fulguratd, columelld 
et aperturee fame iridescente-purpureis. 
Kellett’s Bulimus. Shell ovate, rather ventricose, 
whorls five in number, convex, roughly striated, 
somewhat plicately erenulated at the sutures, last 
whorl much the largest, columella thickened, pecu- 
liarly twisted, aperture rather elfused, lip thickened, 
reflected ; bluish-grey, encircled with four bands of a 
darker colour, and longitudinally lightning-marked 
with narrow waved and interrupted white streaks. 
Hab. Ecuador? 
I have much pleasure in naming this new and very 
l)eautiful species after the zealous naturalist, Capt. KeUett, 
of H. M. S. Herald, by whom it was procured in Central 
America, and is probably from Ecuador. 
Species 213. (Mus. Miers.) 
Bulimus ovatus. An interesting white-lip dwarf 
variety, from Bahia, described by M. Sowerby in his ‘ Con- 
chological Illustrations ’ under the name B. auritus. 
Species 662. (Eig. a and b. Mus. Cuming.) 
Bulimus toeeidus. Bui. testa oblongo-tumidd, apice 
subpapillari, anfractibus septem, convexis, oblique ele- 
vato-striatis, ad suturas subtiliter et creberrirrie cre- 
nulatis, columelld simplici, aperturd ovatd, lahro 
parum reflexo ; ustulato-fmcd, epidermide olivaced 
indutd, aperturm fame intense fused. 
The toeeid Bulimus. Shell oblong-tumid, somewhat 
papillary at the apex, whorls seven in number, convex, 
obliquely devately striated, finely and very closely 
erenulated at the sutures, columella simple, aperture 
ovate, lip but little reflected ; scorched-brown, covered 
with an olive epidermis, interior of the aperture dark 
brown. 
Gould, MSS. 
Hab. Liberia, West Africa. 
The African species received from Dr. Gould, of Boston, 
United States, just at the close of this monograph, will 
probably be described, if not so already, in the Proceedings 
of the Natural History Society of that city. They are 
of an extremely interesting character, and were collected 
by Dr. George A. Perkins, a zealous American missionary, 
for many years resident at Cape Palmas. 
February, 1850.
