The only difference between this and B. Macleayi, Braz., 

 described in these Proceedings 1876, Vol. 1., p. 108, is that the 

 specimens are a little smaller, thinner in structure, pale yellowish 

 brown, irregularly streaked with darker yellow, oblique-narrow 

 lines ; umbilicus smaller, the columellar margin expanded in a 

 thin reflected plate over the perforation.

Mr. Beddome obtained his first specimens at Mount Ernest 

 Island, Torres Straits in 1875, on small trees only in one j)art of 

 the Island, the Port Darwin ones were obtained at Fannie, or 

 Fanny Bay in 1877 by Mr. Edward Spalding, the indefatigable 

 Zoological Collector who was collecting there for six months, for 

 the Hon. W. Macleay, F.L.S.; the specimens were found on trees 

 under the loose bark. 



I have a specimen sent to me from the late Mr. Charles Coxen, 

 said xo have been got at the Andromache River, between Bowen 

 and Cape Palmerston, North East Australia ; it is so transparent, 

 like the Mount Ernest Island specimens, that I have every 

 reason to believe that it came from there. B. Macleayi, is also 

 found on trees at Yule Island, New Guinea, in the wet season ; in 

 the dry season at the roots of trees in crevices of coral forming 

 the East side of the Island, it was not found in any other part 

 of the island.
