INDEX TO THE LAND SHELLS OF VICTORIA. 
The type of this species occurred on Mount Kosciusko. It is 
hkely that the unlocalized Victorian specimen obtained by Professor 
Spencer, and referred to in the original description, came from some 
neighbouring alpine district.

The type which Mr. Petterd presented to the Australian Museum, 
and which measures, maj. diam. 7°5 mm., min. diam. 6 mm.. 
height 5°5 mm., is here figured. The H. fernshawensis is regarded 
by us as a lost species, for Mr. Petterd had retained no specimen of 
it, neither is an example preserved in the Tate collection, as Dr, 
Verco kindly informs us. We have taken advantage of Professor 
Tate’s suggestion, that H. fernshawensis is an immature H. m’coyi, 
to suppress it as a synonym. 
Habitat—Dandenong Range (Petterd), Fernshaw (Tate), Don 
River (National Museum), Upper Yarra (Kershaw). 
FLAMMULINA ELENESCENS, SP. NOV. 
(Plate IIL, Figs. 16, 17, 18.) 
Shell subdiscoidal, thin, spire slightly elevated, base flattened 
and broadly umbilicated. Colour ochraceous-buff, with a few faint 
radial streaks of brown. Whorls five, slowly increasing, parted by 
deeply impressed sutures. Sculpture: First whorl and a half smooth, 
about the ante-penultimate whorl the shell is ornamented with fine 
close even thread-like radials at the rate of about a hundred to a 
whorl, this sculpture is also visible within the umbilicus. On the 
later whorls this sculpture gradually vanishes, so that their smooth- 
ness is only broken by fine and rather irregular growth lines. There 
is no spiral sculpture. Umbilicus about a quarter of the shell’s 
diameter, broad and open, exposing all the earlier whorls. Maj. 
diam., 6°7 mm. ; minor diam., 5:4 mm.; height, 2°9 mm. 
Habitat.—Merri Creek (Tenison Woods). Type in the Australian 
Museum. 
In general appearance the novelty is like F. diemenensis and F. 
marchiane, between which it is intermediate in size. The break in 
sculpture of F’. elenescens readily distinguishes it.
