PAPUINA. 289 



River, British New Guinea (Bevan !) Type in Queensland 

 Museum. 



Var. agnocheilus Smith. 



This form is from the same locality as the last, being in fact, 

 merely a color variety. Smith writes : 



This species is remarkable for the broad snow-white lip, the trun- 

 cate columella, and the very strong thread-like lines of growth. It 

 is variable in color, sometimes being conspicuously banded or 

 entirely without bands excepting that at the suture. The bands do 

 not extend quite to the outer lip, but stop short about 4 mill, from 

 the margin. Three of the four specimens examined have a shallow 

 concentric depression or furrow around the middle of the base of 

 the body-whorl ; but this not an essential characteristic, as there is 

 not the slightest trace of it in the fourth shell. 



H. tomasinelliana of Tapparone Canefri is very like this species 

 in many respects, but is different in form, being higher in propor- 

 tion to the width and with a flatter base. 



Alt. 34, greater diam. 42, lesser 33 mill. 



Douglas River, British New Guinea.

 mill., and Guinea should be substituted for Zealand in the locality.
