Plate III. 
Species 12. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Paetula kubescens. Tart, testa acuminato-oblonga, 
crassiuscidd, sinislrorsd, compresse umbilicatd, anfrac- 
tibus sex, lamibus, subrotundatis, columella labroque 
planireflexis ; rosacea , apicem versus rubro-fuscd. 
The pink Paetula. Shell acuminntely oblong, rather 
thick, sinistral, compressly umbilicated, whorls six in 
number, smooth, somewhat rounded, bp and colu- 
mella broadly reflected ; pink, red-brown towards the 
apex. 
Hab. ? 
This species, of which Mr. Cuming possesses three 
specimens, is larger than P. rosea, and of more solid acu- 
minated growth. 
Pig. 13 a, b. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Paetula Otaheitana. The shells here figured re- 
present the sinistral and more slender state of the above- 
named species, described in the preceding plate. This 
variety has been erroneously labelled in collections P. aus- 
tralis, which is only another name of F.faba. 
Por Species 13, see Plate IY.

anfractibus sex, oblique Itevissime subrude striatis, lineis 
spiralibus impressis minute et creberrime sculptd; pel- 
lucido-alba. 
The hyaline Paetula. Shell oblong, scarcely umbili- 
cated, whorls six in -number, obliquely very lightly

Species 15. (Pig. a, b, Mus. Cuming.) 
Paetula gibba. Part, testa ovato-conica, basin versus 
gibbd et late injlata, umbilicatd, spird brevi, acuta, an- 
fractibus quinque, convexis, sub lenle spiraliter creber- 
rime impresso-lineatis, apertura subquadrato-ovali, 
oblique producta; flavicante, apicem versus rosed, vel 
cinerea, suturis albis. 
The gibbous Paetula. Sheb ovately conical, gibbous 
and broadly inflated towards the base, umbilicated, 
spire short, sharp, whorls five in number, convex, 
spiraby very closely impressly lineated beneath the

Bulimus gibbus, Quoy. 
Hab. Sandwich Islands (on plants) ; Quoy and Gaimard. 
There are two very distinct varieties of this species ; one 
of pale yellow tipped with rose, the other of an uniform 
ash-colour, in which the white sutures are more conspi- 
cuous. 
Species 16. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Paetula Ganymedes. Part, tesla oblongo-conicd, tenui- 
culd, umbilicatd, anfractibus quinque, convexis, oblique 
leviter subrude striatis, lineis spiralibus impressis mi- 
nutissime et creberrime sub lente sculptis, apertura 
subquadrato-ovali, columella labroque late planireflexis ; 
alba, subpellucida, fascia unicd castaned cingulatd , epi- 
dermide tenuissimd indutd. 
Ganymede’s Paetula. Sheb oblong-conical, rather 
thin, umbibcated, whorls five in number, convex,

Only the upper edge of the chestnut band is left visible 
in the first four whorls of this very elegant and charac- 
teristic species.
