INDEX TO THE LAND SHELLS OF VICTORIA. 
Genus Laoma, Gray, 1849. 
LAOMA MoRTI, Cox. 
Helix morti, Cox, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (3), XIV., 1864, p. 182. 
Id., Monog. Austr. Land Shells, 1868, p. 21, pl. ai., f. 13. 
Id., Tate, Trans. Roy. Soc., S.A., IV., 1882, p. 75. 
Laoma morti, Petterd and Hedley, Rec. Austr. Mus., VII., 1909, 
. 294. 
; Helix hobarti, Tate, Trans. Roy. Soc., S.A., IV., 1882, p. 75. 
Flammulina retinodes, Tate, Horn Exp., IT., p. 187, p. xviv., f. 4. 
Habitat.—Mount Eliza (Pritchard), Jan Juc (Kershaw). 
Professor Tate has quoted other Victorian localities, but since 
that of Melbourne (on the authority of Petterd) refers to L. mucoides, 
we regard them as uncertain. 
LAOMA MuUCOIDES, Tenison Woods. 
(Plate II., Figs. 9, 10, 11, 12.) 
Helix mucoides, Tenison Woods, Proc. Linn. Soc., N.S.W., III., 
1879, p. 125, pl. w., f. 5, 5a. 
Id., Tate, Trans. Roy. Soc., S.A., IV., 1882, p. 75. 
L. mucovdes is closely related to L. morti, Cox, in form and sculp- 
ture, and has in the past been mistaken for it. L. mucoides has an 
extra whorl, and is larger, darker, and more solid. In L. morti the 
radial lamelle are better developed. One of Tenison Woods’ type 
specimens here figured is 2°8 mm. maj. diam., 2°35 mm min. diam., 
and 1°35 mm. in height. The type locality is Melbourne. 
LAOMA PENOLENSIS, Cox. 
Helix penolensis, Cox, Proc. Zool. Soc., 1867, p. 724. 
Id., Monogr. Austr. Land Shells, 1868, p. 8., pl. vi., f. 12. 
Helix pictilis, Tate, Proc. Linn. Soc., N.S.W., IT., 1878, p. 290. 
Laoma pictilis, Petterd and Hedley, Rec. Austr. Mus., VII., 1909, 
p. 294, pl. lxxxvi., f. 35-37. 
Cape Northumberland, the type locality of H. pictilis, is but a 
short distance from Penola, where the type of H. penolensis was 
found. Professor Tate distinguished H. pictilis from the Penola 
shell by “its coarser ribbing, its colouration, and the presence of 
transverse striz.” The first and second characters are variable, and 
we find that the type of H. penolensis in the Cox collection has micro- 
scopic spiral strie. So that H. pictilis may be safely reduced to a 
synonym of H. penolensis. 
Found at Port Fairy, by the Rev. W. T. Whan; near Melbourne 
and at Oberon Bay, Wilson’s Promontory, by Mr. J. A. Kershaw; 
at Lorne, by Dr. G. B. Pritchard. 
Genus FLAMMULINA, von Martens, 1873. 
FLAMMULINA EXCELSIOR, Hedley. 
Flammulina excelsior, Hedley, Rec. Austr. Mus., IT., 1896, p. 103, 
pi. caw, f. 2-4.
