: Petitia Stricklandiana, Chitty. 



Hah. Roaring River, AVestmoreland. 



Form, globose-discoid. Colour ^ rich red-brown. Sculpture^ lines 

 of growth apparent ; 38 inequidistant, irregularly raised, very fine 

 spiral carina? ; on the upper whorls 8. Spire, very little elevated, 

 with convex outlines. Whorls, 3frds, well rounded, with a deep 

 suture. Aperture, widely dilated, not constricted, more dilated and 

 depressed below ; very slightly detached from body-whorl. Labrum, 

 very widely double, moderately produced above, inner and outer 

 edge strongly pectinated' and scolloped by 6 points of the spiral 

 carinae. Labium, very little detached from body-whorl, straight 

 above and abruptly curved below to the right ; much below the 

 plane of the labrum. Umbilicus, deep and rather broad. Labral 

 lamella, very little produced. Operculum, slightly concave, with 

 fine granulations in the hollow ; labral margin with two sharp raised 

 Iamell£3e round it ; a small narrow linguiform point overlapping the

 shghtly reflected ; smooth and white, not pectinated. Labium, well 

 detached from body-whorl, on a plane with labrum, almost straight 

 within the aperture, white, thickened and expanded towards the um- 

 bilicus, much so below, but most so and somewhat pointedly in its 

 centre. Umbilicus, broad and deep. Labral lamella, much ex- 

 panded at a distance from its junction with the labrum, becoming
