Helix "Wesselensis, Cox. 



Bef.—Op. cit.. p. 110, t. 19, f. 4. 



Hah.— We^^Ql Islands (Cadell Exped.). 



Helix Gaertncriana^ Pfr., recorded in Cox's Monograph as 

 from Port Essington, belongs to the Aru Islands, and is not 

 Australian {teste Brazier). 



Bulimus Beddomei, Brazier. 



Bef.—Proc. Linnean Soc, ^Y.S.W., vol. iv., p. 395, 1880. 



Hab. — On trees, nnder the loose bark, Eauny Bay, Port 

 Darwin (Mr. E. Spalding). Also known from Mt. Ernest 

 Id., Torres Straits {Beddome). 



B. Beddomei is doubtfully distinct from B. Macleayi of the 

 same author, which extends to Yule Id., New Guinea. 



Stenogyra Tuckeri, Pfr., sp. 



Bef. — Bulimus Tuckeri, Bfr. ; Cox, JSIon. Aust. Land Sliellsy 

 p. 69, t. 13, fig. 9. 



" Generally distributed throughout Queensland and it& 

 islands from Brisbane to Cape York. Pound generally in the 

 isles of the S.W. Pacific, and has been introduced to Sydney 

 with plants from Aneiteum." — MacGillivray, in Cox, op. cit.^ 

 p. 70. 



Hah. — At the bases of papaya trees, Palmerston (Inspector 

 Eoelsche) . 



I refer this species to the tropical American genus Stenogi/ra^ 

 of Shuttleworth, and on comparison with specimens find it 

 not readily separable from >S'. mimosarum, D'Orb (Bidlmus).

 The following species and L. Lessoni, Deshayes, are usually 

 referred to the genus Amijlii'pejylea, but without knowledge of 

 the contained animals. With respect to the generic position 

 of the last-named species, Mr. E. A. Smith, in Proc. Lin. Soc, 

 London, 1882, p. 272, writes : — " It is very doubtful whether 

 this species is a true Anqyhipeplea, upon which subject Martens 

 (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., 1866, vol. xvii., p. 212) offers some 

 very interesting remarks." I am not able to consult the refer- 

 ence alluded to in the foregoing quotation, but having examined 

 the animal of Am2oliipeplea MeJbournensis, Pfr., now included 

 among the synonyms of L. Lessoni, I can confidently assert 

 that it is a Limncea, and not an Amphij)eplca ; so also is a 

 species inhabiting the Lower Murray River, which is with difii- 

 culty separable from the tropical L. vinosa. Erom analogy 

 of shell-form, it may therefore be inferred that the Northern 

 Territory species, which have a very close agreement one with
