Helix (Xerophila) australis, Menke. B.M. 



Cox, op. cit. p. 31, pi. ix. fig. 7, copy of Reeve, Con. Icon, 

 pi. cxxxi. fig. 803 



Hah. — Mount Eliza, Swan River. 



I am not quite sure that the species figured by Reeve, and copied by 

 Cox, is the true H. australis, as it is considerably smaller, measuring 

 fully a line less in diameter. It may, however, be a slip ou Menke's 

 part, and the width should have been given as three instead of four 

 lines. I am inclined to think that tliis may be the case, as Reeve's 

 shell is of the proper height quoted by Menke.

The apical whorls of this and the allied species, B. meJo, B. Kingii, 

 and a few others, arc punctate, like a fine thimble, and the extreme 

 and rather obtuse apex is introverted as it were within the next 

 whoi'l. The specimens vary somewliat in length, the dimensions 

 given above being those of an average specimen. B. melo is a broader 

 imd more bulky species, and B. Kingii is more acuminate above, less
