bilieal space large, bordered bolow by a well marked ridge continu- 

 ous with the canal, and having a hollow beyond it. 

 Length - 53 ; breadth 0-26 ; aperture - 12 long, of an inch.

Pupinella MacGillivrayi. Cox, Catalogue of Australian Land Shells, 

 1864. 



Shell imperforate, ovately-oblong, sobd, translucent, shining, with 

 extremely faint under the lens and very often obsolete lines crossing 

 the whorls, pale reddish-horny ; spire tumid and suddenly roundly 

 tapering, apex slightly obtuse, suture slightly impressed ; whorls 6, 

 slightly convex, last more than equalling the remainder, and penul- 

 timate equal to three before it ; aperture almost vertical, circular ; 

 peristome white, thickened, scarcely expanded, right margin forming 

 a second channel at its insertion, rather wide and nearly vertical, 

 protected by a bluntly triangular lamina, centre of columella with 

 margin enclosing a tubular canal, cutting the lip horizontally as a 

 narrow fissure, the tongue portion above broad and truncate. 



Length - 50 ; breadth 0*23 ; aperture - 12 long, of an inch. 



Habitat. Port Denison, Queensland. Wall. 



Like the preceding this is a large sized species, more glossy, but less 

 so than any of the succeeding.

Shell broadly rimate, pupi-formed, horny, sub-diaphanous, shining, 

 under the lens closely finely striated ; spire oblongly- conical, apex 

 rather acute ; whorls 6, rather convex, last hardly striated, anteriorly

 the umbilical cleft, shortly descending ; aperture circular, bicanicu-

 channels, external margin, outwardly and immediately above, super- 

 iicially furrowed, the furrow becoming compressed towards the colu- 

 mellar margin. Operculum thin, horny, narrow whorled ; nucleus
