This form makes a uearer approach to I'lnjt^a ai(strah\(ii(i, Conrad, ^'^ 

 than to any other tigureil species. But that is shown with the anterior 

 lip contracted to a gutter and with a more gibbous shoulder. Conrad's 

 species is 18 mm. long and comes from tlie Jiogan River, N. S. Wales. 

 Probably the type of it is still preserved in the Museum at Logan Square, 

 Philadelphia.

As here construed, B. acatispira agrees with ]>. ttniuistriatiis in the 

 appearance and vaiiation of the sculpture. It is, however, always a 

 smaller, more slender shell, with a sharply pointed and elevated spire. 

 The type is probably preserved in the Museum of the Academy at Phila- 

 delphia. It was 12 mm. long and was compared by the author to the 

 common European Fliiisa hijimornin. The locality was not described more 

 definitely than " Australia." 



Var. YARRAENSis — The National Museum, Melbourne has forwarded 

 to me three imperfect specimens, labelled " Fhysu ijarrKcnsis, Ten. Woods. 

 Type. Upper Yarra. No. 85998-36000." One of these, figured at PI. ii., 

 fig. 16, is 11 mm. long and 6 mm. broad. It is thin and transparent and 

 sculptured by distant spiral lines of ciliae. This variety has also been 

 sent from Carrun Creek, Fraukston, by Mr. T. Worcester. 



Another variety, which in the confused state of nomenclature, it 

 seems unwise for me to name, is figured at PI. i., fig. 11-12. It is 11 mm. 

 long and 5 mm. broad, with a very tall and slender spire. It was sent by 

 Mr. C. J. Gabriel from Horsham. 



Another form is shown at PI. i., tig. 13, is 13 mm. long and 6 mm. 

 broad, more ovate in shape and more solid in substance. This is sent by 

 Mr. Gabriel from Cape Grant, near Portland. 



Mr. E. A. Smith has reported F. elheridijii from the Yan Yean 

 Reservoir and a variety of F. teuutlinUu from the Bunyip River.
