268 ON SOME LAND SHKLLS COLLKCTED IN QUEENSLAND. 



aperture, three or four ribs are buried in thick callus-glaze. 

 Aperture lunate, margins simple. Umbilicus exposing all the 

 previous whorls, deep, in breadth about one-half the diameter of 

 the shell. Height, 26; maj. diam., 4-5; min. diam., 4 mm. 



This species is related to E. vinitincta Cox, but it is smaller, 

 more compressed, and has more whorls. 



Hab. — A single specimen, from the scrub of Finch Hatton 

 west of Port Mackay, 2nd September, 1908(S.W.J.). 



PUPINA STEANGEI Pfeiflfer. 



Pupina strangei Cox, Monogr. Austr. Land Shells, 1868, p. 103, 

 PI. XX., f.l6, 16a; Id., Hedley & Musson, Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. 

 Wales,(2), vii., 1892, p.561 ; Id., Kobelt, Cyclophoridae in Das 

 Tierreich, 1902, p.305.

The figures of this species are unsatisfactory, and so little 

 known that Kobelt's recent monograph omits reference to them. 

 Another illustration is, therefore, now supplied. P. strangei is 

 almost a miniature of P. bilinguis Pfeifibr. This opportunity is 

 taken of adding that P. nitida Brazier,* is identical with P. 

 bilinguis. In both species, an arch of callus-cord, forming a 

 segment of the circular lip, unites and outlines vertical shields 

 which shelter the canals. The shell, of a clear hazel-brown, is so 

 thin that, when empty, the pillar can be seen through the wall. 

 The specimen drawn is 5 mm. long, and 2-5 mm. broad. 



P. strangei seems to be rather common and widely distributed 

 in South-east Queensland. It was taken by Mr. Jackson, in 

 June, 1 908, under leaves, on the ground, in the pine scrubs of 

 Coolabunia and Kingaroy, south-west of Maryborough. 



Pupina tenuis, sp.nov.

Shell small, gibbous-oval, thin, so diaphanous that the whole 

 axis is visible through the whorls of an empty shell, and the
