Hab. — Cook's landing place, south side of Botany, in shell sand 

 (1864); Shark Island, Port Jackson, found living under stones, 

 low water, spring tides (J. Brazier, 1869); Long Bay, 9 miles 

 south of Sydney; Middle Harbour in shell sand and beach shingle 

 ( Heiin and Brazier). 



To the Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London, 1869, 

 (p. 162) I communicated a paper on the distribution of Bulimvs 

 miltnclbeilu!?, Reeve, wherein I stated that specimens vary much 

 both in size and colour. 



Mr. E. A. Smith in 1885, (Proc. Zool. Soc. p. 595), recorded a 

 collection of shells from the Solomon Islands collected by Dr. H. 

 B. Gruppy who found the variety with white lip at Santa Anna, a 

 small island at the south end of San Christoval. I have seen 

 the white variety very common from the above island, but none 

 of the typical form with the vermilion lip have I e-\^er seen from 

 there. I now divide the varieties under a new distinguishing 

 name with the habitat where each ^-ariety is found.
