88 THE LAND MOLLUSCAN FAUNA OF BRITISH NEW GUINEA, 



(d) roseolabiatus ; with a black band at the suture and the peri- 

 phery. (Maclachie Point, Goldie.) 



This form is confined to western British New Guinea and the 

 eastern localities quoted by Smith ; South Cape and Dentre- 

 casteaux Islands are to be discredited. 



The history of the original specimen appears to have been lost. 

 Since, before G. taylorianus was described, H.M.S. "Fly" was 

 the only European vessel that visited the territory inhabited by 

 this species, I conjecture that the type was procured in May, 

 1845, by Jukes or MacGillivray during her voyage to this coast.
