OF NEW SOUTH WALES. 3 



This species differs from Helix Incei, Pfr. by being a much finer 

 and larger shell, with the umbilicus covered with broad callus? 

 base much broader and darker in colour, and by being only found 

 in the thick Queensland scrubs, whereas Helix Incei is found in 

 every part of Queensland in the open forest country. Dr. Cox 

 figured my new species in his Monograph of Australian Land 

 Shells, plate 18, figure 1, as variety of Helix Incei, Pf. 



4. — Helix (Geotrochus) Brenchleyi. 



Shell narrowly perforate, conical, rather thin, very finely 

 oblicpiely striated, bright straw yellow, with bright reddish chestnut 

 band on the periphery running spirally above the suture ; below 

 the suture broad white opaque band; spire conoid, apex rather 

 obtuse ; whorls 6, moderately convex, base convex, aperture 

 diagonal, triangularly ovate, peristome white, thickened and re- 

 flected ; margins distant, columellar margin broad and expanded 

 over the perforation. 



Dia. maj. 10, min. 8, alt. 12 lin. 



Hab. Maru Sound or Curagoa Harbour, Guadalcanor Island, 

 Solomon's Archipelago, (Coll. Brazier.) 



Of this fine species I obtained only one specimen when at the 

 above Island in H.M.S. Curagoa in 1865, and it has been in my 

 collection ever since in manuscript. I take great pleasure in 

 making the description known. I have named it after the late 

 Mr. Julius L. Brenchley, M.A, F.R.G.S. and Author of the 

 " Cruise of the Curagoa through the South Sea Islands," who was 

 a great lover of Natural History. 



5.— Helix (Corasia) Wisemani. 



Shell imperforated, globosely depressed, thin, obliquely finely 

 striated, shining diaphanous, yellowish white ; obtuse at the apex ; 

 whorls 3J, rather flat, rapidly increasing, the last very large, 

 rounded at the periphery, marked with faint opaque white line 

 running into the suture, aperture oblique, ovately rounded, peris, 

 tome reflected, whitish brown, margins joined with thin callus, the
