I distributed a few specimena of tMs species among Englisli 

 and Australian Conchologists under the name of Cyprcea chrysostoma 

 in 1873, not wishing to retain that name, I gave the above in 

 preference. I find that I have named it in the Hargrave's 

 Collection in the Australian Museum as C. chrysostoma.

Hah. Rockhampton, North-east Australia (Anderson). 



This species was distributed in 1871 by Dr. Cox, named as 

 Selix planihasis, a name I find in use in all the Australian 

 Collections. I received my specimen from the person who first 

 found it. Only recently Mr. Angas describes it under another name 

 from specimens a little larger, said to come from Port Denison ; 

 I doubt this locality. For the convenience of Conchologists in 

 Australia I subjoin the descriptions of Dr. J. C. Cox's species 

 and that of Mr. G. F. Angas : — 



Helix Rochhaynptoywisis, Cox. — " Shell with a large, open 

 umbilicus, globosely conical, finely striated, dark purple chestnut, 

 indistinctly ornamented at the base and apex with narrow yellow 

 bands, the latter lightest; basefiat, excavated round the umbilicus; 

 spire large, bluntly conical, suture not margined ; whorls six, 

 convex, last produced ; aperture diagonal, ovately lunate, dark 

 purple within ; peristome broadly expanded and reflected through- 

 out ; margins joined by a thin callus, columellar margin triangu- 

 larly dilated, overhanging the umbilicus. Diam., greatest 1*27, 

 least 1-08; height M2 of an inch." 



** This is an interesting link between H. Bloomfieldi (which it in 

 general aspects most resembles), H. Parsoni and H. Rainhirdij 

 having the flat base and large umbilicus of the last, and the large
