this seeiug the remote places wliorc it is found. Tlie slicli 

 varies much iu color according to the locality. Specimens 

 from streams near the Great Lake are reddish, those from tho 

 Clyde olive, and the Coal River specimens very varied. Five 

 varieties, with many examples of each, were furnished me by 

 Mr. Legrand. To judge from the figure alone in Reeve's 

 Icon, the species would be taken for jP. nitida, but the latter 

 is a much smaller shell, with a wider aperture and moro 

 globose habit. 



10. PHYSAciLiATA?i..s. P. tcstasuhovcita, fusco-comea, longitudinal- 

 iter striata, lineis spiralib}i!i,sub-distantibus, ciliatis, cincta; apirahrevi^ 

 accuminafa, anfrac. (5) dcdivis, pe^mltimo inflato ; apertura sitbovatay 

 ma'jiHi ; columella alba, plica conapicua. 



P. shell subovate, horny brown, striate lengthwise, girdled 

 with spiral subdistaut ciliated lines ; spire short, acuminated; 

 whorls five, sloping, penultimate inflated, aperture subovate, 

 large; columella white, plait conspicuous. Length 17 mill., 

 breadth 8 mill. 



Habitat, Lake Dulverton, and Bruni Island. 



This ciliated form is quite exceptional in the genus, only 

 one other being found in India. That species is, however, 

 cancellate, and of a different color, with an angulated ajier- 

 ture, though in general form not unlike the present species. 



11. Physa TASMANicoLA n.s. P. testct minutissinui, ovata, long : 

 striata, luteo-comiia, pelhicida ; spira breviuscida, anfrac. (4) distinctis, 

 declivis, ultitiw oblowjo ; apertura angustiusctda, columella tenui, plica 

 inconspicua, labio interno cum columella continuo, recurvo. 



P. shell very small, ovate, longitudinally striate, yellowish 

 horny, pellucid ; spire short ; whorls four, distinct sloping ; 

 last whorl oblong, aperture rather narrow, columella thin, 

 plait inconspicuous, inner lij^ continuous with the columella and 

 recurved. Length 4, breadth 2 mill. 



Habitat, found by the Rev. H. D. Atkinson in a water-hole, 

 Mount Murray, East Coast, 



This species is closely allied to P. hruniensis but is a stouter 

 shell, more globose, not gibbous at the sutures, and not with 

 the peculiar shining brilliancy of that shell. 



12. Physa HUONicoLA, U.S., P. tcsta (jracilis, anigusta, fusiformi, 

 fulva, nitida, intus albida, solidiuscula, spira clo-jigata, anfractibus (6), 

 obllquis, apic(di1nis parvis, plica columcllari obsoleta ; labio cxterno 

 siniuito ; labio interno albo, rcflcxo. 



P. shell graceful narrow fusiform, fulvous, shining, whitish 

 within, somewhat solid, spire elongated, whorls (6) oblique, 

 apicial ones small, columella fold obsolete ; outer lip sinuous, 

 inner lip white, re flexed. Length 15, breadth 5 mill. Propor- 

 tionate length and width of aperture to whole dimensions, 

 length 6—15, width 3—5.
