SUTER : LAND MOLI-USCA OP STEWART ISLAND. 259 



8. Endodonfa {Charojnt,) Sfcrh'ana, Sut., var. Recftofiends, Siit. Five 

 specimens, slit;-htly larger than the type, but otlierwise not distin2;uisli- 

 able from it. This variety is very probably distribiitod over a great part 

 of tlie South Island, since it has been found at Greymouth and Spring- 

 burn ; but it seems nowhere to be common. 



9. Laoma {^Fhrixgnatkus) celia, Hutt. Six specimens, typical. 



10. Laoma [Fhrixf/nathus) phrynia, Hutt., var. major, n. var. 

 Fourteen specimens of this new variety were found. They differ from 

 the type principally in their much larger size, the diameter being- 

 3'5 mm., as against 2'5 ; the periostracum is almost smooth, but the 

 rather distinct radiate riblets are clearly visible near the suture, 

 only rarely extending thread-like over the surface of the whorl to the 

 periphery. The colour is darker than in most specimens of the 

 type-form. 



11. Itliytida austral is, Hutt. Three bleached and broken shells. 



Our knowledge of the land-molluscan fauna of Stewart Island has 

 thus made some progress, eleven instead of only four species being now 

 known. There is no doubt that a thorough exploration of this island 

 woidd reveal many more species, and very likely several new forms.
