GASTEROPODA. 5 
Found at Paramatta, New South Wales, by Mr. Couthouy. 
This is very peculiar on account of its pale olive colour, and its 
very delicate, narrow, elongated papille. It is attenuated both in 
height and breadth, and terminates in a delicate point. The head is 
also protruded, and all the portion anterior to the corselet is narrowed.

L. abbreviatus, corpulentus, acuté carinatus, fuliginosus, sulcis remotis 
obliquis reticulatus, areolis reticulatis ; clypeo oval, posticé latiore, 
foramine pulmonali postico ; capite parvo ; tentaculis brevibus, ad apt- 
cem ferruginets. 
Body rather short and corpulent, elevated, sharply carinated, espe- 
cially at its posterior portion. Colour uniform sooty black. Corselet 
oval, of moderate size, broadest behind, the dorsal face showing traces 
of a large calcareous test; respiratory aperture situated at the poste- 
rior third. Surface coarsely reticulated by oblique fissures, the in- 
cluded areas being more minutely reticulated with smaller fissures. 
Head small, tentacles rather short, ferruginous at tip. Foot projecting 
slightly beyond the edge of the mantle, which is transversely and 
rather distantly lineated. Posterior termination acute. 
Length two and a half inches. 
Found at the Bay of Islands, New Zealand, among turnips in a 
garden. Dr. Pickering remarks that it seems undoubtedly to be a 
native species. It is specially characterized by its peculiar sooty 
appearance.
