The specimen is larger than the type, and smaller than 

 Mr. Pilsbry's specimen. The colour of the shell is lilac- 

 purplish at the apex, passing through lilac to yellowish- 

 liLac at the end of the last whorl. On the two last whorls 

 there are visible three or four indistinct lilac bands, broken 

 in spots at the end of the last whorl. The peristome is 

 dark brown.

There is still much difference of opinion on the specific 

 value of P. strabo and the closely allied P. taijlorimia 

 Ad. et Rve, yidetisis Braz., kataimisis Tapp. Can. and 

 roseolabiata Smith, Hedley ^) seeming inclined to consider 

 all of them varieties of P. fai/lon'ana, Pilsbry *) regarding 

 P. yuletms synonymous with fai/Ion'ana, P. Jcatauensis and 

 roseolabiata with strabo. Mr. Gude writes me he himself 

 being inclined to consider them all distinct. 



Other localities : Katau river ''), Mount Maneao ^), both 

 of them British New Guinea. 



P. taijloriana is recorded from various localities in British 

 New Guinea, Constantinhafen (German New Guinea), Takar 

 (Dutch New Guinea) and Zamna (New Guinea (ubi?)).
