Testa ovata, vel oblonga, vel turrita, anfractibits nunc per- paucis, ventricosis, nunc plurimis, contractis, aut fra- ffiUius et nape translucidis, aut cramuscwUs, epidermide interdum duplici indutk; columella recta, interdum, uni- pUcatd, hasinunqnam trmicatd; aperture! nonnunqtiam dentatd, plerumque integrd, iimrgiiii/mi diyiinctis, lahro vel simplici, vel re/texo. Opercii/iim hhIIuih. Shell ovate, oblong, or turreted, whorls sometimes very few and ventricose, sometimes many and contracted, either fragile and often transparent, or rather thick, covered with, sometimes, a double diaphanous epi- dermis ; columella straight, sometimes one-plaited, never truncated at the base ; aperture in some in- stances toothed, generally entire, with the margins disjoined, lip either simple or reflected. The beautiful forms and varieties of shells produced by those aii'-breathing mollusks, which, under the generic appellation of BuUmus, constitute an important division of the gi-eat tribe of Snails, have become objects of especial interest to the conchologist, owing to the zeal with which a few enterprising scientific travellers have lately penetrated into tropical countries in pursuit of them. It is, however, to the productive exertions of Mr. Cuming that we are mainly indebted for the newer and more attractive subjects of the present monograph. The re- searches of this ardent naturalist in the arid plains on the west side of the Andes, in the dense woods of West Colmubia and Central America, and, more recently, in the luxuriant open forests of the Philippine Islands, whilst they present an instructive contrast, exceed any result the most sanguine collector could have anticipated. In the dry and ban-en regions of Western Chili and Peru, the BuUmi are mostly small and of comparatively fragile structui-e; but in the beautifid islands of the Eastern Archipelago, where climate aud vegetation combine to favom- the growth of arboreal species, the genus is represented with prolific splendom-. Blr. Cuming must have truly felt like one transported to the fabled garden of the Hesperides, when beholding the lofty trees of these sunny isles laden with snails of such magnificent propor- tions. Aladdin, in the Arabian tale, could not, sm-ely, have contemplated the rich clusters of vaii-coloured fruit in the garden of the African Magician with more astonish- ment, nor probably gathered it with more aWdity. "It was in 18.36," relates Mi-. Broderip, "that :Mr. Ciuning proceeded to the Philippine Islands by permission of the Queen Eegent of Spain, and aided by powerfid recommendations from her government, which opened to him the interior of the islands, and caused him to be received with a noble hospitaUty, equalled oidy by the warm interest which facilitated his pm-suits wherever he amved and made himself known." Species of which we had but an imperfect knowledge, in consequence of the bad condition in which a stray individual chanced to reach our cabinets, were found in liixm-iant plenty, and many new kinds were discovered in their aii-y solitude in equal abundance. Had De Terussac, the enthusiastic admii-er of this tribe, Hved to see the glorious series of Bull mi accumulated in the Cumingian collection in different stages of growth, and in the finest state of preservation, from the egg to the adult, he would have been indeed amazed. Sorry am I that the limits of the present work win not allow me to illustrate more than two, or occa- sionally three, of the typical varieties of each species, and of these but a single view. The genus BuUmus, as restricted by Lamarck, compre- hends an extremely natural group, though presenting important differences of growth and texture ; and these variations are peculiarly local. In the Philippine Islands, as just described, the species are of large and rather soUd gi-owth with a remarkable hydrophanous epidermis, that is, one pei-meable by water or other evaporable fluid. On the barren liUls of Lima and the sandy plains of Chili and Peru, they are mostly small and delicately formed ; in Brazil, the species are remarkable for having the aper- ture in frequent instances denticulated; and in New Caledonia, Venezuela, New Grenada, and New Hebrides, they not imcommonly exhibit, with equal peculiarity, a plaited Auricula-YikQ columella. It is a curious featui-e in the Philippine species that the varieties of pattern, which constitute then- chief orna- ment, reside only in the epidermis. The colours of the shell rarely describe any sort of configuration : they are mostly blended into a uniform tint, over which a fanciful pattern is produced by the epidei-mis forming a double porous membrane in some places, and a single one only in others, developed, moreover, with the same continuous regularity as the textile marking of a Volute or Cone. This phenomenon is easily detected by immersing the shell in water, when the light portion or upper porous April, 184.8. BULIMUS.— Plate I. laver of epidermis becomes saturated, and the ground colour of the shell is seen through it; as the moisture evaporates, the epidermis resumes its light appearance. Sir DaWd Brewster, hi reply to a letter from Mr. Broderip ou this subject, says : " It appears to me, from very careful observations, that the epidermis consists of two layers, and that it is only the upper layer which is porous wherever the pattern is wliite. These white or porous portions of the epidermis differ from the other parts of the upper layer only in hanng been deprived of, or in never having possessed, the element which gives trans- parency to the membrane ; in the same manner as hydro- phauous opal has become white, from the expulsion of its water of crystallization." There is little variety in the animal of BuUmus : the Chilian species are mostly of a bght colour, and a few in tliis and the Columbian district are spotted, some having a transparent shell through which the spots are visible. The PhiUppine species are, without exception, of a sombre olivaceous bro^vn, and dwell in family groups, as it were, among the shady foliage of the branches. Out of a gi-oup of some dozen living specimens not more than three or four may be found in an adult state with the lip of the shell reflected. They may be dislodged by shaking the branches, but are cliielly disturbed by the heavy rains with wliich those islands are at times visited. Mr. Cuming preferred, however, to collect them in diy sunny weather, because he was sure of finding the objects of his search in their shady places of retreat. In the immense sandy tract on the west side of the Andes, the reverse of this con- dition of nature prevails. Tlie Bulimi are here physically very distinct ; some reside all the year round upon the numerous Cacti, but during the dry season, which lasts for several months, they mostly live in a state of torpor, inclosed within their sheU by an epiphragm, and buried ill tlie sand or under stones. On the approach of the ilews, they revive to a state of animation, and crawl about at night in quest of food. In illustration of the remarkable drought that prevails in Northern Chili, and of its effect upon moUuscous life, I am tempted to repeat, in brief, an anecdote related to me by Mr. Cuming. On the arrival of our friend at the Port of Copiapo in 1829, he discovered the beautiful Jiidimm Broderipii in considerable numbers, in the fissures of the rocks that may be seen here and there in the sandy plains of that country. Finding a large proportion of them dead, with tlie soft parts entirely decomposed, he requested a solitary iuhabitant of the place to collect as many specimens as he could pick out alive whilst he occupied himself with botanizing. Returning from his excursion, Mr. Cuming was greatly disappointed to find that among the quantity his Chilian collector had accumu- lated, there was scarcely one in a living state. Upon remonstrating with him for his inattention, the native replied : " Ouly wait till the dews come, and they will be all alive again." Mr. Cuming rejoined : " I suppose you mean when it rains." The man, however, in perfect aston- ishment inquired what he meant ; though a sexagenarian, he had never heard of such a thing as rain. The Bulimi vary in their mode of propagation : fragOe species, with the lip of the shell simple, are mostly \nvi- parous, whilst those with a reflected lip are oviparous. The arboreal species of the Philippines deposit their eggs in little clusters on the trees, between two leaves which the animal manages to curl up one upon the other, so as to form a receptacle for their protection ; and, so far as Mr. Cuming's observations go, they are all soft like snake's eggs, w^ith the single exception of the B. Min- doroen-m, in which instance the eggs are calcareous, deposited upon the leaf in parallel rows, each standing perpendicidarly on end, attached at the base by a glutinous substance. The habits of the Bulimi in the two widely remote coimtries explored by Mr. Cuming, having been treated of in the foregoing remarks, it only remains to speak of them in other parts. Turning to New Holland we are unex- pectedly sm-prised to find that the genus is represented to an extremely limited extent. I am not aware of more than three species hanng been found in this wide expanse of countiy, although several fine Helices have been dis- covered ; and in a region of which the Fauna and Flora exhibit so luxuriant and distinctive a character, the scarcity of a genus of so much importance in the Eastern Isles is remarkable. The same observation applies to New Zealand, fi-om whence, so far as the interior of the islands of that group has been visited, no more than one or two species have been received. In Africa the Bulimi are almost as great strangers as in the locabties just spoken of; throughout the whole extent of land yet explored of this vast continent, scarcely a dozen species have been ob- tained. The Bulimi are here replaced by Jcluitina. Such a phenomenon may also be obseiTcd in some of the islands of the Pacific ; in the Sandwich Islands the Bulimi are replaced by the genus Achatinella, and in the Society Islands their place is occupied by the ParlulrB. In the West Indies the genera Achatina and Glaiidiiia seem to prevail. Howsoever abundant is the genus Bulimus in most of the islands of the Eastern Archipelago, few species appear to inhabit the great territories of India and Cliina, Ou the coast of Borneo a beautiful species was BULIMUS.-Plate I. recently discovered by Mr. Adams, of H.M.S. Samarang, by the accidental falling of a huge tree, in a woody islet situated between Banguey and Balambangan, but they are of rare occurrence in that locality. In Em'ope, where natui-e is exposed to the vicissitudes of a colder climate, the Bulimi are mostly small and exhibit no brilliancy of colour. So also, in the extensive region of North Ajnerica, where no more than a few insignificant species are known to exist. It is in the riclily fertile and woody district of Columbia, that the genus BuUmtis is represented with a magnificence little inferior to that of the Philippine Islands ; here they are large enough and sufBciently abundant to be roasted and eaten by the aborigines as a frequent article of food. Several fine species, entirely new to science, have been collected in Venezuela and New Granada by Mr. Linden, an assiduous Botanical Traveller, only within the last twelvemonth, at an altitude of from 5000 to 8000 feet, and many more, no doubt, (tw(>U in undisturbed solitude in the vast interior of this immense continent. It is extremely probable that a large portion of South America yet remains to be explored by the adventm-ous naturalist, where there is no doubt a fine expanse of forest country, grand in extent, rich in foliage, and possessing all the elements favourable to the growth and beauty of arboreal moUusks.

TJiis species approaches the B. rnfogaster, it partakes of the same shades of colour, and the epidermis is charac- terised by a similar zone round the last whorl ; it does not however exhibit the vacant patches beneath the sutures. The columella uf B. iiiacrostoma is slightlv twisted, and the general form of the shell is eminently distinguished by its swoUen egg-shaped growth. Species 3. (Pig. a and b. Mus. Cuming.)

The examples ofB.pi/iko//nster selected for representation vary so materially in form, as well as in the arrangement of the epidermis, that one might consider them to belong to distinct species, were it not for the similarity in the struc- ture and colouring of the aperture. In the specimen from Ticao, Fig. a, the shell is broader and more acutely ven- tricose at the base, and the epidermis is arranged in longitudinal streaks ; in that fi-om Luzon, Fig. b, the base is somewhat contracted, imparting a more pyramidal form to the shcU, the apex is dark pm-ple, and the epidermis is soft and velvety, uniformly distributed thi'oughout without any description of pattern.

BULBIL'S.— Plate L This is the largest of the Philippine species, and that of the most ventricose proportions. The columella is of a livid blueish purple, and the epidermal pattern consists of a number of circidar bands or lines, frequently ex- tending around the last and penultimate whorls ; tiie specimen figured, in which the bands are confined to the last whorl, is rather an exceptional variety.

The red Bclimus. Shell ovately conoid, somewhat ventricose, whorls six in number, convex, columella somewhat twisted; blackish purple, sometimes reddish, epidermis marked towards the base with a single band, and with dark longitudinal streaks, wliich are broader near the sutures, aperture and columella blueish white. Hab. Province of Baie, Island of Luzon (in dark and lofty forests) ; Cuming. In this species the columella is slightly twisted, and of the same blueish white hue as the interior of the shell. TJie pattern of the cpidei-mis exhibits a single band round the lower part of the last whorl, and a row of broad, short, interrupted streaks around the sutures. This last mentioned design I have not observed in any other species. Species 5. (Mus. Cuming.) IkLiMUs PuiLiPPiNENSis.

There is little to distingiiish this species from the B. pijlhoganler ; it has a somewhat angular inclination of growth around the lower part, but this is not a character to which much importance can be attached, seeing that the typical varieties above figured of that species present almost as great a difference of form.

Reeve's Bulimus. Shell oblong-ovate, whorls six in nimiber, rather swollen, last whorl ventricose and effused; rich burnt-brown, with the epidermis in remarkable rather broad bands and fine lines, apcr- tui-e blueish white, columella sc;u-cely twisted, and, together with the pcritreme, of a h^id purple hue.

This is the first species of Bulimus, and I believe the first shell, which Mr. Cuming unpacked from his vast collection on his return from the Philippines, and, being present at this exciting moment, I shall not easily forget the impression caused by the sight of so superb an example of an arboreal Snail. The remarkable disposition of the epidermis was quite a matter of astonishment, nothing of the kind had been observed before, nor had any specimen of the 7?. pi/tliogaster been collected in a state of preser- vation by wliich this iihenomeiion could be unilcrstood.

The brick-coloured Bulimus. Shell somewhat globose, obtuse at the apex, whorls six in number, rouuded, concentrically striated, aperture rather contracted, columella slightly cui'ved; brick-colom-ed or bui-nt- red, last whorl encircled with an obscure band, covered with a simple epidermis, peritreme and colu- mella livid-white.

The specimens of B. gihns figured give a tolerable idea of the varieties of the species, which only affect the shell so far as the depth of colom- and thickness of the epidennis are concerned. The last whorl exhibits an obscm-e band round the lower part, and the concentric striss are rather prominently developed, but there is no epidermal pattern or coufigiu'ation. The bvid-white peritreme and columella are rather a characteristic feature in the species. It appears to be confined to the Island of Bohol.

Of the varieties of this charming species it may be said their name is legion, aU remarkable for their neatness and alike worthy to sustain the rural dignity of the pastoral shepherd and poet whose name they bear. Of the speci- mens selected for representation, one has the epidermis disposed in transverse bands, another in concentric streaks, whilst in the third it is without any indication of pattern ; and it may be observed that they vary even in form. In the most important part of the shell, the aperture and colimieDa, they resemble each other perfectly, and not the least permanent character of the species resides in the pinky colom'ing of those parts.

PrEiFFER, Pro. Zool. Soc, 1842, p. 152. Hab. San Juan, Province of Cagayan, Island of Luzon, Philippines (on leaves of trees) ; Cuming. This species, of which Mi-. Cuming collected only a few specimens, is of an elongately oblong form, and composed of one more whorl than any of the preceding ; it is of rather dark colour, and the longitudinal streaks of epi- dermis are very irregular and close-set. There is a variety in which the last whorl is more inflated and has a whitish band. The name devoted to this species is rather an inappro- priate one, the shell being of no more solid growtli than its congeners. April, 1848. 'LIMI'S— Plate JI. Species 10. (Mus. Cuming.) BuLiMUS MUS.

A very delicate and extremely variable species, the epidermis of wliich is of so tenacious a character that it is rare to meet with specimens having any portion adhering. The colour of some is purple, of others light pink or pale ^'reen, and the shell has not unfrequently a pink columella. Species 31. (Mus. Cuming.) BuLiMus Calypso.

The Calypso Bulimus. Shell somewhat pyramidally ovate, diaphanous, whorls six in mmiber, convex ; columella peculiarly twisted and tnmcated, lip thin, but Uttle reflected ; whitish, encircled with pale olive yellow bands, especiaUy round the last whorl, colu- mella apex and peritreme rose-purple. Broderip, Pro. Zool. Soc, 18-iO. p. 182. Hah. Tanhay, Isle of Negros, Philippines (in the woods) ; Cuming. Only two specimens of this very dehcate diaphanous species were collected ; it is enckcled by numerous faint olive-yellow bands, somewhat crowded towards the base, and the columella, peritreme, and first two whorls of the shell are of a deep rose-pm-ple ; there is, moreover, a dark purplish stripe around the columella. It is a peculiarity in this species that the banded pattern does not reside in the epidermis, as in most of its con- geners, but in the shell, where it may be observed ending round the interior.

I cannot trace the resemblance which Dr. Pfeiffer notices between this shell and B. carinatus.

This delicate semi-transparent species serves to illus- trate in an interesting manner the phenomenon, observed in many Btdimi, of a double epidennis. The shell under consideration is a clear opal white, it is then covered with a thin, sliining, greenish, horny epidermis, over wliich is a soft, tenacious, porous, hydrophanous one, curiously puckered and tinged with a bronze or golden hue around the sutures.

Broderip, Pro. Zool. Soc, 1840, p, 158. Hab. Island of Bohol, Philippines (on leaves of trees) ; Cuming. In general aspect this species approximates closely to the preceding ; it is, however, less elongated in form, and the epidermal pattern is of an oblique zig-zag character, which is sometimes developed with peculiar neatness.

The variety represented at Fig. b is composed of a whorl less than the other, and is of more ventricose pro- portions. From B.

The shells here represented are without doubt varieties of the B.pictor described at Plate IV. although so much smaller in size, and not characterized by the zigzag shadowed flames depicted in the specimens there figured : in these the outer hydi-ophanous epidermis is either arranged in sbghtly waved streaks, or it covers the shell leaving streaked spaces.

Pfeiffer, Pro. Zool. Soc, 184.5, p. 67. Hnb. Island of Mindoro, Philippines. This remarkable species, of which Mr. Cuming has only the single specimen here represented, is distinguished from all others by the effused and suddenly enlarged develop- ment of the last whorl. It is also characterized by a regidar succession of longitudinal rib-like strise of a more defined growth than the ordinary lines of structure, which in a genus so devoid of sculpture is an important feature. The name is suggested by the scattered interrupted stripes in which the outer hydrophanous epidermis is de- posited. The columella, it should be observed, has a pinky hue, and the impress of the striae imparts a delicate satinv irridescence to the interior of the shell. Species 52. (Mus. Cuming.) BuLiMUS CONCINNHS.

Island of Masbate, Philippines (on the trees) ; Cuming. I have always considered this shell to represent a species distinct from B. ovoideus, and propose to re-establish Mr. Sowerby's name, although he himself abandoned it upon the grounds of its relationship. It is of a more elongately oljlong form, is composed of a whorl more, and the narrow black zone with which it is encircled never varies. These characters may be regarded as of trifling importance, but they are constant. In a parcel of upwards of a hundi-ed of each species which came into my possession some time since, there was no variation or the least tendency to merge one into the other. The name is rather an inap- propriate one, for Mr. Cuming did not collect a single species at Luzon; there is, however, no reason why it might not become naturalized in that island. Species 56.

Kroderip, Pro. Zool. Soc, 1811, p. 1.5. Hah. Island of Camote, Philippines (on the leaves of trees); Cuming. Of this species Mr. Cuming only collected tliree speci- mens, and these appear to be of somewhat immature growth. It is not distinguished by any marked pecu- liarity of character. Fig. 58. (Mus.

Eelix pyramidalia, Sowerby, Pro. Zool. Soc, 1841, p. 39. Eab. Island of Cuyo, Philippines (upon the leaves of trees); Cuming. The colour of this shell is a dark burnt browTi, \vith traces of a light puckered e|)idcrmis beneath the sutui-es. It may be readily distinguished by this and its pjTamidal growth. Species 60. (Mus.

B()li\aa (under trunks of trees) : Bridffcs. The B. rosaceus inhabits a wide range of country and is found in very different states. The variety Fig. a, which may be regarded as the typical form, inhabits the environs of Valparaiso ; that represented at Fig. b, distinguished by its rude concentric striae, strong creimlations, and warm orange colom'ing of the lip and interior, was collected iu great plenty and with little or no variation at Huasco, Chili ; and at Cocapata, Bolivia, a variety of stiU larger size occiu-s of thin light growth with scarcely any indication of crenulations or striae. At Huasco, the species was also eoUeeted by Mr. Bridges in a state quite distinct from these, of much smaller dimensions, paler in colour, and of a minutely granulated satiny hue. This is the B. pachgcJieilus of Pfeiffer, and apparently the shell from Bahia Blanca taken by D'Orbigny for the B. nudeus with wliich he does not seem to be acquainted. Another con- dition of the B. rosaceus is that of similar size from Co- quimbo, described by Mr. Sowerby as a distinct species under the name B. Ckileitsis. It should be observed that the eggs of these smaller species are of a more oblong form than those of the first mentioned. Species 88. (Mus. Cuming.) Bulimus phasianellus.

The beautiful variety figured in the Coneho- logical Illustrations under the name B. primeps was col- lected by Mr. Cuming in the woods of Nicaragua where it inhabits the hollows of trees ; the more common variety, knowni as the B. nudatus, is found in the West Indies and Brazil, and, extremely rich in colour, at Panama and Costa Kico. yyy///,v^/.v M AW. n A^ k mi BULIMUS, Plate XVI.

I think Dr. Pfeiffer has greatly eiTed in referring this gi'oup of Bulimi to the genus Succinea, the tyjie of which is an amphibious animal, like the Lymnea, affecting damp and swampy situations, such as the banks of stagnant pools, in marshes, or on floating vegetable matter. The habits of these species are much opposed to this ; dwelling in the dry crevices of the rocks which appear in the sandy plains west of the Andes, where there is little or no mois- ture beyond that which arises from the dews. The name variegatus cannot be adopted, in conseijuencc of its having been used under the head of Bulimus by Bruguiere in refeiTence to the Tornatellafiammea. Species 91. (Mus. Cuming.)

" Desiring to find a more im- mediate communication," says that intelligent traveller, "between Cochabiunba and Moxas, Bolivia, we made a proposition to the Goveniment of that Republic to make the attempt. The President, General Santa Cruz, furnished us with the means to achieve this undertaking. We set out on foot with a party of Indians to carry proTOioiis, and after passing forty days amid the precipices of unin- habited mountains on the north-east side of the Eastern Cordilleras, and enduring a thousand difliculties and pri- vations we accomplished our journey. It was in this excursion not far from Tutulima that we observed the liidimus onca at the bottom of almost inaccessible ravines in damp woody situations, where it is of rare oeeun-ence and ditlicult to procure, from its habit of burying itself in the earth."

The journey performed by Mr. Dyson in this fertile district of South America, in search of objects of natural histor)-, was undertaken tlirough the generosity of a limited number of zoological friends, who, with the hope of eii- ricliing their collections, were at the same time desirous of cucour^ing the zeal of a young naturalist distinguished by his love of adventure.

Were this sing-ularity of growth not proved to be constant in the species, it might have been regarded as an unnatural distortion. We are indebted to M.

Hab. ? Another fine species, from probably the same fertile region, of which, I believe, only two specimens arc known ; one, here figured, in the collection of J. Dennison, Esq. ; the other, very much worn and discoloured, in the British Museum. It approximates closely to the preceding species in general appearance, but differs materially in its details. In the B. Jdamsoid the whorls form a nearly straight pyramidal cone, in the B. Dennisoni they are more ventri- cose and less pyramidally disposed, whilst the last is proportionably larger, more oblong, and more inflated. The texture of the two shells is dissimilar ; the former is smooth or obliquely striated and appears to have a thin horny stratum of semi-transparent epidermis, the latter is finely decussated with rough uneven striae in a manner which is rarely if ever observed beneath a horny epidermis. The difterence of colouring is best described in the accom- panying di-awings ; they are two elegantly painted shells and, as species quite uuapproached by any hitherto de- scribed, constitute a most interesting and valuable addition to the genus. liu/intii.s n nr/i BULIMUS S|H-fiL-s 1«7.

It will be seen by the above-mentioned localities that the Bidimus regina inhabits a wide range of country, and, by the figures, that it is found under very different aspects, having in some localities a dextral, in others a sinistral growth. I quite agree with M. D'Orbigny in the propriety of refereing this species to the genus under consideration rather than to Acliatina ; the columella is never strictly truncated, and the shell has all the texture, form, and colouring of a Bulimus. Figure 90 b. (Mus. Dennison.) BuLiMcs ZEBRA. This species is also found under so many different aspects, that I thought it desirable to figure a singidar vaiiety from the collection of Mr. Dennison, of which that gentleman possesses several examples exactly similar, brought by some vessel into Liverpool, but he is not aware from whence. It is of a remarkably solid gi-owth, heavy as porcelain, and has no indication of the green which predominates more or less in most varieties. The upper part of the whorls is white, the lower encircled by a broad band of light rust colovu-, and towards the aperture the whorl is crossed by numerous concentric dark streaks. July, 1848.

We are informed by Chemnitz in the ninth volume of the Cnnchylien Cabinet, published in 1786, that this shell was known to Favanne as " a very rare Biiccitnmi from New Holland bearing some resemblance to the false Midas' Ear," meaning the Auricula Mida, which Bru- guiere referred to his genus Bulimus under the same specific title as that used by Chemnitz in reference to this. We also learn from the same source that it was known to English coUeetors upwards of half a century ago, as 'The Midas' Ear from New Caledonia.' Lamarck, however, and his followers appear to have confounded it with the B. auris-bovina, from which, as described at PI. XXX., it is amply distinguished. The chief variation in the growth of the present species consists in some specimens being of an elongated form as represented in Chemnitz, and of which a specimen exactly agreeing with that figure is before me, and in others being of a compressed oblong tumid growth, as in the shell re- presented in the accompanying plate. Both varieties are distinguished by a plait-like callosity on the columella and the rich orange-red painting of the interior, but are equally distinct from the B. SJtongi or auris-bovina.

It is a rather solid shell of a cylindi-ically oblong form, and of a peculiar smoky tint of colour. At the time M. Nyst was engaged in describing this species, it happened that Mi-.

Nyst, in a subsequent notice of the species, took some consider- able pains to exhibit the difference between the B. labeo and Fimckii, reproducing the description and figui-e of the former for comparison, side by side, with the latter. M. Nyst is no doubt to be complimented for his ability and zeal in the matter, but in so doing he unconsciously attaches an importance to a passing conversational remark, a mere lapsm-liiu/ua, or rather -memorice, which the speaker never intended.

I doubt if ' The Pretender ' would not have been a more ajipropriate name for this shell than ' The Emperor,' for it appears to be simply a variety of B. pythogaster. It would, however, be unfair to judge of its claim to rank as a species by a single specimen not in the best condition. Ml-. Cuming informs me that it was collected at the Phi- lippines by Dr. Kierulf of Copenhagen, and that there is another exactly similar to it in the collection of M.

Notwithstanding the importance which is very properly attached to the priority of names, there are exceptions, as in the instance before us, in which a name may require to be changed. The term leptocJmlus, or tldu-lipped, denotes a character which is not found in the adult species ; the shells of all Bnliini are "thin-Upped" in an immature state, and many remain so at maturity ; but in the species under consideration, the lip is thickened and rather widely re- flected.

This and the three following having been described as separate species, and, not to tUfler in a case which may be regarded a matter of opinion, they are here published as such ; I cannot however forbear expressing my conviction that notwitlistandiug their apparent cbfterences of form and detail of growth, they are but so many modified con- cbtions of the same species.

This magnificent species, fi'om a locality which has contributed little of particidar interest to this genus, par- takes very much of the form of B. oblongus and its congeners from South Eastern America. In colouring it is characterized by a singidar articulated band around the sutures, and the lip and columella are coated with an enamel of deep chesnut-purple. In scidptui'e the entii-c surface of the shell is beautifully minutely granulated, besides being plicately striated, a character to which it is proper to direct attention from the diiiiculty of representing it in a figiu'e. The discovery of this fine species by Dr. Krauss in the woods of South Africa, gives us some idea of the richly painted snails and other animal forms that may be dwelling at this moment in the vast unexplored regions of that immense continent so fatal to European health and enterprise.

Bulimus interstinctus, Pfeift'er (not of Gould) Monog. Helic. p. 169. Hab. ? Dr. Pfeiffer's description of this species is inadvertently referred to at PI. LV. Sp. 367, owing to his having taken it to be the B. interstinctus of Goidd ; arising probably from the displacement of a label in Mr. Cuming's cabinet. Dr. Pfeift'er does not appear to have seen Dr. Goidd's des- cription of that species, and I have been equally unsuc- cessfid myself in finding it. The shell described and figured at PI. LV. Sp. 367, was received from Dr. Gould by JIi-. Cuming with the name B. interstinctus attached to it, and he has also received specimens from Mr. Redfield of the United States similarly named.

Benson, MSS. Pupa si/lvatica, Hutton (fide Benson.) Hab. Liti Pass, Western Himalaya (among juniper bushes and patches of snow at nearly 14,000 feet above the level of the sea) ; Capt. Hutton. Mr. Benson is of opinion that this species, distinguished by its stout cylindrical form and reversed growth, which has been upwards of twelve years in his collection, is the Pi(pa sylvatica of Hutton, described in M'CleUand's Journal for January, 1841, as being found among juniper bushes at Buj-renda 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 referi-ing to the plate, that the figure is very con- siderably magnified. Species 497.

Fig. 207, b, and PI. LXXII. Fig. 207, c. Mus. Cumiug.) Bulimus labeo. It is with much gratification that I am enabled to give an original figure of the Bulimus labeo, illustrated at PI. XXXV, from a figure in the Zoo- logical Jom-nal. This shell, from the Cumingian collec- tion, which I take to be identical with the lost specimen, is of a lighter oUve colour, but has a similar narrow dark band beneath the sutm-es, the columella is similarly plicately twisted, the lip is less tliickened but of the same rich purple-black enamel, destitute, however, of the opake bubble-like dots, which are of seldom specific importance. It was collected by Mr. Lobb at Limabamba, Peru ; a district seldom visited by travellers, and the same in whicli Lieut. Mawe obtained the original specimen. Species 516. (Mus. Cuming.)

Hah. Banks of the Maranon near Balsas, Peru (on branches of a species of JatrojihaJ ; W. Lobb. This fine species is of a delicate cream-white, striped longitudinally by distinct ribands of light brown and dark purple chestnut, without any of iutermediate tint. Im- mediately behind the lip there is more of the dark purple- chestnut, approaching to black, and the interior of the aperture is colom-ed with the same, having a somewhat metallic hue. I have the pleasure to name it in honour of Mr. Lobb, botanical collector of Messrs. Veitch & Son, the eminent nurserymen of Exeter, to whose zeal in the pursuit of na- tural history, the species of this, and the two following plates, bear honourable testimony. * Species 517. (Mus.
