260 PROCEEDINGS OF THE MALACOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



■who has shown me specimens of H. rectilahrum and II. Richnrdsonii 

 from the Earrici' llange, of H. Reinga and II. Rrudhoensis from King's 

 Sonnd, and of Succinea scalarina from the Fitzroy lliver. 



From Eucla I have been shown specimens of II. Angasiana, Pfr., 

 and II. cyrtopleura, Pfr. 



Mr. Smith says that no species of Helicarion is yet known from 

 this region. In a paper, "Mollnsqucs terrestres nouveaux d'Oceanie," 

 published by Mr. C." F. Ancey in Lc Naturaliste, 1889, p. 19, there 

 occurs a description of Helicarion T/wmsoni, Ancey, collected by a 

 Kew Eedford whaler in Geographe Bay. 



From an inspection of types I can confirm Mr. Smith's conjecture 

 that Patula nupera is an absolute synonym of F. cuprea, Cox, Avhich 

 1 anticipated, Man. Conch., ser. II, ix, p. 34. 



P. Murti is recorded as " the only instance among the Australian 

 Helices in which the same species occurs on both sides of the 

 continent." I have shown, Proc. Linn. Soc. New South Wales, 

 ser. II, vii, p. 165, that it shares this distinction with P. Alhane^isis. 

 Of the latter there is an unquoted figure in the Journal of 

 Conchology, ii, pi. i, fig. 3. 



Judging from the figure of Bulimus Ponsonbii, and from the travels 

 of its collector, I am disposed to deny that it is a Liparus, or that 

 it comes from Western Australia, but hold it rather to be a vai'iety 

 of Panda atomata collected in New South AVales. Among the Bulimi 

 of this province a place should surely be found for Liparus inflatiis of 

 Lamarck. 



In the Proc. Zool. Soc. 1872, p. 809, Mr. Brazier corrects the 

 locality of Liparus physoides var Brazier i, Angas, as follows: " When 

 I sent Mr. Angas the first specimens I marked them Sinclair's llange 

 in error instead of Stirling llange," which extends parallel to the coast 

 about forty miles inland from King George's Sound. 



It is to be noted that no modern collector has found either of 

 Benson's two Cyclophori, the existence of which in Australia seems 

 improbable. 



Coxiella hardly comes within the pale of "land" mollusca, for 

 it inhabits brackish swamps. There are two species differing in range, 

 size, contour, and colour which Mr. Smith has united. A third 

 species has lately been described as fossil by Prof. Tate. 



PosTscKiPT. — Mr. Smith has recorded {Zoology, H.M.Ss. "Erebus" 

 and "Terror": Mollusca, p. 2) Helix virgata from Foul Point, 

 N.W. Australia. Sec also Musson, Proc. Linn. Soc. New South 

 AVales, ser. 11, v, p. 895.— C. H.
