OF CONCHOLOGY. 223 



Habitat, N. E. part of Vanna Levu, Viti Isles. (Coll. Garrett 

 and Philad. Acad.) 



We obtained many examples of this species on the north coast 

 of Natawa Bay, but did not detect it on any other part of the 

 island. Like the preceding species, it lives on the ground in damp 

 forests. Though about the same size as N. Nouletii, yet it is 

 easily distinguished from that species by its more reddish color 

 and the constant white basal patch. The locations are also re- 

 mote. 



Nanina Godeffroyana, Garrett. Plate 19, fig. 9. 



Shell subperforate, depressed, rarely turbinately globose, mod- 

 erately thick, subpellucid, shining, yellowish or light brownish 

 horn color ; sometimes the spire, and always the upper third of 

 the body whorl, fulvous brown ; spire obtuse depressed, or de- 

 pressly conoid ; whorls 7, convex, last one large, tumid, slightly 

 depressed above, obliquely coarsely striated, striae most conspic- 

 uous near the suture ; base nearly smooth, paler and more gla- 

 brous than above; aperture diagonal, broader than long, oblique, 

 luniform, bluish-white or pearly within : peristome thin, simple, 

 slightly sinuous ; columella pinky-white, reflected so as nearly 

 to close the small umbilicus. 



Diam., 88 mill.; length, 25 mill. 



Habitat, Interior of the N. E. part of Vanna Levu, Viti Isles. 

 (Coll. Garrett and Philad. Acad.) 



This is the largest species yet discovered in the group. It is 

 very abundant, living on the ground in damp forests. Three 

 examples were found which were adorned with basal bands. 



Helix Tavinniensis, Garrett. Plate 19, fig. 10. 



Shell umbilicate, sublenticular, rather thin, subpellucid, slightly 

 glossy, tawny-yellow, with a narrow chestnut-brown intramargi- 

 nal band above and beneath ; spire obtuse, convex ; whorls 5, 

 strongly convex, obliquely striated, last one not descending, 

 acutely carinate, keel whitish, base convex ; suture margined 

 with whitish ; umbilicus large, perspective, one-fifth the greatest 

 diameter of the shell; aperture oblique, subrhomboid-luniform ; 

 peristome simple, thin above, slightly thickened beneath ; colu- 

 mella white, slightly reflected. 



Diam., 17 mill ; height, 7 mill.
