Var. elongata Hedley. PI. 5, fig. 82. 



More elevated than the type, and represented by Mon. Austr. L. 

 Shells, pi. 18, f. 15 (Hedley, t. c., p. 31). 



Var. azonata Hedley. 



Landless, entire shell straw-yellow colored (Hedley, 1. c.). This 

 seems to differ but little from the next variety. 



Var. ponsonbii (Angas). PI. 5, fig. 83. 



" Shell imperforate, elongately ovate, solid, shining, everywhere 

 marked with very fine decussated transverse strise crossing the lines 

 of growth, rich olive-brown without any markings, paler towards the 

 apex; whorls 5, slightly convex; spire conical, blunt at the apex; 

 aperture pale lilac within, longer than the spire, wider towards the 

 base, outer lip simple ; columella arcuate, the margins united by a 

 strong spreading callus. Length 2 inches 2 lines, breadth, 1 inch." 

 (Angas.} Western Australia. 



Bulimus ponsonbii ANGAS, P. Z. S., 1877, p. 170, pi. 26, f. 1 



Bulimus (Liparus) ponsonbii Ang., SMITH, Proc. Malac. Soc. i, p. 

 94. Conf. HEDLEY, t. c., p. 260. 



" This seems to have been hitherto overlooked by authors, or con- 

 founded in some unaccountable manner with the Bulimus atomatus of 

 Gray, from New South Wales, from which it is altogether distinct. 

 I found three examples in the British Museum labelled B. atomatus 

 van, with a note on the back of the tablet stating that they were 

 obtained by Mr. John Gould in Western Australia in 1839." (Angas.) 



The imperforate axis, pale lilac color of the mouth, and the con- 

 tour, all incline me to adopt Hedley's opinion that this is merely a 

 form of P. atomata, and from New South Wales, not Western Aus- 

 tralia. A specimen before me from Ash Island, N. S. W., agrees 

 exactly with Angas' figure in color and form, entirely lacking the 

 chestnut lineolatiqn of the ordinary form. 



P. LARREYI (Brazier). PI. 5, figs. 79, 80. 



Shell imperforate, long-ovate, thin; pale yellowish or pale red, 

 closely marked with fine, very short, irregular, obliquely descending 

 lines or dots forming spiral zones alternating with bands of arrow- 

 shaped or obliquely rhombic blackish-chestnut spots, the subsutural 

 row squarish. Surface lusterless, faintly marked with growth-stria?. 

 Spire short, conic, the apex very obtuse with sunken tip. Whorls
