193. Pupa Strangei. Pfr. Plate XIV. Fig. 15, 15 a. left 

 varied/. Fig. 18, 18 a. right variety. M.C. 

 Pfr., Pro. Zooi. Soc, 1852, p. 69. 



Shell dextral or sinistral, fissured, elliptically oblong, thin, not shining, 

 very faintly striated, white, hyaline ; spire convexly turreted, apex 

 roundly obtuse ; whorls 5, convex, last about I of the shell, com- 

 pressed in front ; aperture oval, obliquely truncated, with 7 teeth, 2 

 lamellated close together on the wall of the aperture, 2 on the colu- 

 mella, and 3 more deeply situated within the outer and basal 

 margin ; peristome expanded, white, as are the teeth. 



Length Oil ; breadth 0-05 of an inch. 



Habitat. Garden Island, Port Jackson. Strange. Clyde Biver, 

 I'arramatta, Port Stephen, and many localities in the vicinity of 

 S} 7 dney, as Darling and Glebe Points, Lyndhurst. Chatsworth, 

 SouthCreek, N. S. W. Masters. 



A dextral variety of this species differs in no essential character, 

 fig. 18, 18 a. Near the sea the specimens seem to be almost uni- 

 versally sinistral, while more inland the reverse is the case, sinistrals 

 being rare. 



194. Pupa Lincolniensis. Cox. Plate XIV. Fig. 16. 

 Vertigo Lincolniensis. Cox, Pro. Zool. Soc., 1867. 



Shell sinistral, rimate, elliptically-oblong, very finely obliquely striated, 

 whitish or rufous horny ; spire obtuse ; whorls 4 to 6, rather convex, 

 last by no means equalling the rest ; aperture almost vertical, 

 lunately-circular ; peristome thickened, expanded, white, margins 

 distant, columellar margin straight,, sinistral margin above obtusely 

 angled; body whorl centrically armed with a prominent, obtuse, 

 white tooth. 



Length - 13 ; diameter 008 of an inch. 



Habitat. Port Lincoln, South Australia. Masters. 



195. Pupa Margaretse. Cox. Plate XIV. Fig. 20, 20 a. much 



magnified. Australian Museum. 



Shell dextral, yellowish-brown, minutely perforate, oval, under the 

 lens closely and finely striated, opaque ; whorls 5, convex, the last 

 equalling A- the length of the shell ; suture shallow ; aperture 

 squarely-oval, having 5 teeth (plicce), 1 large and unequally divided, 

 situated in the centre of the last whorl, with the points separated, a 

 2nd sharp and pointed, opposite to the first bifid tooth, and a 3rd 

 and a 4th on the columellar side between the 1st and 2nd the one 

 nearest the columella being thick and blunt, almost a rounded pro- 

 jection, the other is short and sharp ; a 5th, situated between the 

 first two, inserted near the junction of the peristome with the body 

 whorl, is short and thick at the base ; peristome thickened, dilated, 

 and reflected, smooth and white, as also are the teeth, margins 

 joined by a broad thick callus, forming with the peristome a con- 

 tinuous circle. 



Diameter - 06 ; length - 13 of an inch.
