 striisque spiralibus exilissimis obsoletis sculpti, ultimus acute sod baud 

 compressc cariuatus, nee dcsccndens, nee siibtus coucentrice striatus ; 

 apertura securiformis, pallide roseo-fuscescens, in medio carina pallida 

 ct zona rufa translucentibus ; peristoma supra mediocriter temie, infra 

 incrassatum, pallidum, supra umbilicum paulo reflcxum. Diam. maj.

Hah. — Andai, New Guinea. 



Like H. exilis, Miiller, in colour, but mucb more sbarply keeled, 

 tlie form of the aperture being consequently very different. The 

 spire in H. exilis is curved in outline, whereas in II. Andaiensis it is 

 rectilinear, or even feebly concave. H. inclinata, Pfr., is much more 

 sharply keeled, the body-whorl being coneavely depressed both above 

 and below the keel, beneath which there is no reddish line as in the 

 present species. 



4. Theksites (Hade a) Foksteeiana, Pfr. 

 Pilsbry, Man. Conch., ser. ir, vol. vi, p, 127. 



Hal). — Perguson Island. 



The localities known for this species are " Barrow, Howick, and 

 Percy Islands" (Pilsbry). 



The specimen from Ferguson Island is 26 mm. in its greatest 

 diameter. Mr. Sowerby, from whom it was obtained for the Museum, 

 has no reason to doubt the correctness of the habitat, since he received 

 the shell with others from a collector who had been travelling in New 

 Guinea and the adjacent islands.

Hah. — Woodlark Island. 



This species differs from Chloritis led of Cox, which also occurs on 

 "Woodlark Island, in its general form, narrower umbilicus, smaller 

 aperture, closer granulation, etc. It may perhaps be Mr. Hedley's 

 var. JVoodlai-hnsis of that species : see Proc. Linn. Soc. !Xew South 

 Wales, ser. ir, vol. vi (1891), p. 83. 



6. Papuina eufo-pukpueea, n.sp. PL XVII, Fig. 9.

 ment! obli(|uis tenuibus sculpta ; spira elongata. conica, anfractus 7,
