preoccupied by Mousson, Petterd (Mon., p. 55) proposed to 

 call it II . buttoni. The species has not been figured and we are 

 not aware that either a type or an authentic specimen now 

 exists. Under these circumstances it may be abandoned. 



Species erroneously accredited to Tasmania. 



Helix bisulcata, Pfeiffer. 



Obs. — Helix bisulcata was originally described by Pfeiffer, 3 

 from Tasmania. Reeve 1 further added that it was collected there 

 by Gunn. An examination of the types of both species enabled 

 Mr. E. R. Svkes 5 to recognise II. bisulcata as the New Caledonian 

 shell generally known by the later name of Helix beraudi. 



Helix subangulata, Pfeiffer. 



Obs. — This species was also described by Pfeiffer , from 

 Tasmania, and Reeve again added that Gunn was the collector. 

 At the instance of one of us Messrs. E. A. Smith and J. Ponsonby 

 examined the type ia the British Museum and identified it as 

 Planispira zonalis, Eerussac, from Halmaheira. " 



Pupa varius, Bonnet. 



Obs. — This was originally described by Bonnet 8 as from Tas- 

 mania. It has been pointed out by Pilsbry 9 that it is a variety 

 of Cerion glans, Kuster, and is really a native of Nassau in the 

 West Indies. Gunn misreported several marine West Indian 

 shells as Tasmanian. 10 



Helix pkunum, Ferussac. 



Obs. — In the Paris Museum, we are told by Dr. H. Fischer 11 , 

 two specimens of Helix prunum are labelled as having been 

 collected b}' Peron and Leseur in the D'Entrecasteaux Channel. 

 Several species from North-west Australia such as Area semitorta,
