The figure is the size of life; bill curved from the base, with a black stripe between that and the eye; plumage above deep shining green, most brilliant on the sides of the neck; ear feathers blue green; chin and throat of a most brilliant deep violet blue, changing in some lights to purple, becoming greenish on the breast, and blended with the green of the neck; all these feathers are disposed like scales; vent golden green, with two tufts of downy white feathers round the thighs. Tail even, the feathers broad and truncately rounded, of a rufous cinnamon colour, tipt with a purple black bar; the middle feathers darkest, and glossed with green. Of this rare and unrecorded species, a fine example existed in Mr. Bullock's Museum, which was purchased to enrich that of Paris: another, more imperfect, was sent Mr. Falkner from the Spanish Main. The male of _T. latipennis_ is undescribed, Dr. Shaw having only seen the female; both sexes, however, are in my possession. The plant introduced in the plate (_Clitoria Plumieri_) is a native of Brazil. * * * * * Pl. 84 [Illustration] ACHATINA emarginata, _Notched Achatina._ * * * * * GENERIC CHARACTER.--See Pl. 30. * * * * * SPECIFIC CHARACTER. _A. (div. 2.) testa producta, sub-flava, fasciis viridibus flavisque ornata; apertura ovato-rotundata, alba; labio exteriore medio inciso; basi emarginata._ Ach. (div. 2.) Shell elongated, cream colour, with green and yellow bands; aperture ovately rounded, white; outer lip notched in the middle; base emarginate. * * * * * A new and very delicate species, which may have been overlooked as a variety of _A. virginea_, from which it differs in the comparative length of the basal whorl, which in that is remarkably short, in being a much more elongated shell, in the mouth being oval, but above all, in having a conspicuous notch in the middle of the outer lip, where the green band commences; the aperture (excepting the inner lip) is pure white. It is in Mr. Dubois' possession, and its country unknown. * * * * * ACHATINA vittata, _Ribbon Achatina--middle figures._ * * * * * _A.
