buflF, uniform or with darker and lighter radial streaks. Whorls 

 five, rounded, parted by impressed and margined sutures, all 

 gradually descending, so that the older shells are taller, in pro- 

 portion to their diameter, than the younger. A thin epidermis, 

 apt to peel off in patches. Sculpture : on the upper whorls are 

 faint, close, spiral, incised lines which gradually disappear; the 

 later whorls are traversed by irregular growth-lines. Aperture 

 ovate-lunate, oblique; lip simple, thin; columellar margin a little 

 thickened, expanded over part of the umbilicus, but not insinuate. 

 A thin callus with shagreened surface is spread over the pre- 

 ceding whorl. Umbilicus narrow, spiral. Height, 7: maj. diam., 

 10; min. diam., 9 mm. 



This species is distinguished from Australian co-generic forms 

 by being more globose. It was found by Mr. S. W. Jackson, 

 associated with Flaminidina delta Pfeiffer, climbing the trunks 

 of trees, Araucaria Cunninghaniii, etc., in the pine scrubs of 

 Coolabunia, in June, 1908.

To aid the descrimination of this species, I add figures of an 

 example from Miriam Vale, the type-locality, which measures : 

 height, 3-75; maj. diam., 3; min. diam.,. ■2-9 mm. This size is 

 exceeded by other specimens before me. Southern shells appear 

 to be a little larger, and less sharply keeled than northern speci- 

 mens. Its range over North Queensland appears to be pretty 

 general, fur l^razier reported it from Fitzroy and Barnard Islands, 

 and Musson from Cania. It was also taken near Bundaberg, by 

 Dr. T. May; near Cooktown, by Mr. A. Dean; near Card well, by 

 Lieut. C. E. Beddome; and at the Barron Falls by myself. 



Mr. Jackson found several specimens under logs, in forest- 

 country, at Evelyn, near Herberton, Herberton ilange, in No- 

 vember, 1*J08, and another in the Tinaruo scrubs.
