7. Bulimus. Thirty-four species.
The shells of this beautiful genus are all terrestrial, and differ from
the Helix and Bulla of Linnæus in never being of an orbicular shape. The
animals inhabiting them are said to be oviparous, and have eggs nearly
as large as those of a pigeon.
Shell oval, oblong, sometimes sub-turriculated; the summit of the spire
obtuse, and the last turn much greater than all the others taken
together; aperture oblong oval, the edge disunited; the right reflected
outward in adults; the columella smooth, with an inflection in the
middle, at the point of junction of the columella with the mouth of the
aperture which it forms.
