 branches and trunks of trees ; also more sparingly on rocks

It is of gregarious habit being commonly found in huge 

 numbers. It has also been collected at the Piper River under 

 similar conditions. It is certainly distinct from all the other 

 small Helices with which it associates.

Hid). — Generally distributed. Extends to Mount Kosciusko, 

 N. S. Wales. 



This is a minute conical species that cannot well be mistaken 

 for any other. It is remarkably abundant at Mount Bischoff, 

 Mount Farrell, Brown River, and at the Middlesex Plains, nil 

 widely separate localities. It would appear to prefer somewhat 

 dry positions under stones and among decaying leaves.
