Var. queenboroughensis, Petterd, Mori. Tas. Land Shells, 1879, 

 p. 49. 



Hab. — Generally distributed and abundant in moist places. 



Obs. — We consider this to be the shell usually called Succinea 

 strigata, Pfi., originally decribed from Port Clarence, Behring 

 Strait. The localities for the types of S. australis are Kangaroo 

 Island and the Isles of St. Peter and St. Francis in South 

 Australia.

Succinea australis, Fer., var. tamarensis, Petterd, Mon. Tas. 

 Land Shells, 1879, p. 49. 



This was given as a variety of the generally distributed species 

 of Succinea in the Monograph of Tasmanian Shells, but as pointed 

 out in litteris by the late Professor Ralph Tate it is very distinct 

 and resembles the European S. pfeifferi. 



The shell is acuminate, very thin, with a long attentuate 

 spire. It is invariably thickly coated, with a layer of dark mud, 

 and is then most difficult to recognise at its restricted habitat. 



It is well worthy of a specific appellation. 



Figured from a co-type, 9 mm. long, presented by Mr. W. F. 

 Petterd to the Australian Museum. 



Hob. — In the tea-tree swamps on the western margin of the 

 Tamar River, near Launceston.

 vegetable matter and under logs.
