Vertigo Australis. Adams and Angas, Pro. Zool Soc, 1863, p. 522. 



Shell sinistral, apex obtuse, umbilicately fissured, pale brown ; whorls 

 7, convex, obliquely strongly striated ; aperture semi-ovate, with 

 one parietal and one columellar fold ; peristome thickened and 

 widely dilated. 

 Length 2 ; breadth f lines. 



Habitat. Rapid Bay, S. Australia, in crevices of rocks. Angas. 



Copied from the source quoted above. Angas remarks of it a cylin- 

 drical, and, for the genus, a large species, with the aperture fur- 

 nished with but two plicse.

Pupa Mastersi. Cox, Catalogue of Australian Land Shells, p. 29, 1864. 



Shell sinistral, perforate, shortly cylindrically elliptical, very finely 

 striated, thin, not shining, deep reddish-chestnut horny ; spire 

 roundly obtuse ; whorls 4, rather convex, last ^ of shell; aperture 

 large, somewhat four sided, truncated obliquely, irregularly con- 

 stricted, furnished with three teeth one, the largest and most acute 

 on the wall of the aperture ; a second, smaller, wider, and obtuse 

 on the columella; and a third, the smallest, and deepest on the 

 outer lip ; peristome occasionally slightly thickened and expanded, 

 indented in the centre of outer lip under a sinuation. 



Length 0'07 ; breadth 0-04 of an inch. 



Habitat. Parramatta, N. S. W. King. Wbllongong. Masters. Glebe 

 Point, Sydney. Brazier. 



The chestnut-horny colour, indented outer lip, together with the pecu- 

 liarities of the dentition, render this a well marked species. 



193. Pupa Nelsoni. Cox. Plate XIV. Fig. 19, 19 a. M.C. 



Shell sinistral, perforate, elliptically cylindrical, thin, smooth, micro- 

 scopically striated, horny reddish-yellow, slightly shining ; spire 

 slowly narrowing, obtusely rounded ; whorls 5 to 6, slightly convex, 

 last about the length of the shell ; aperture, large, rounded, trun- 

 cated above, with a conspicuous lamelliform tooth on the wall of the 

 aperture, and another, or tubercular callosity, sometimes larger, but 

 obsolete in young specimens at the columellar junction ; peristome 

 and teeth white, former expanded, especially at the columella, and 

 not obstructing the minute umbilical opening at the bottom of a deep 

 fissure. 



Length - 15; breadth - 07 ; aperture 0-05 long, of an inch.
