10 BOTH III EMBRYON. 



"Another variety (pi. 2, fig. 37) is like the type, excepting in 

 color. It is of a rich purple-brown, with only a few irregular streaks 

 of creamy-white, and a sub-basal yellowish band, which appears 

 quite white within the aperture." (E. A. Smith.) 



Var. BRAZIERI (Angas). PI. 2, figs. 38, 39, 40. 



Shell oblong-ovate, thin, straw-color, frequently with reddish- 

 brown, irregular spots and flames, and sometimes nearly all brown ; 

 longitudinally rugosely plicately ribbed and transversely striated, the 

 intersections strongly granular, whorls 5, rather convex, sutures im- 

 pressed. Aperture ovate : outer lip thin ; columella nearly straight, 

 white, with a narrow dark-brown band behind. Length 8, breadth 

 4 lines. (Angas.) 



Stirling Range, about 40 miles inward from King George Sound. 



Bulimulus (Lipanis) bra'zieri ANGAS, P. Z. S., 1871, p. 19, pi. 1,

 physoides) HEDLEY, t. c., p. 260. 



" This pretty longitudinally rugosely plicated species belongs to 

 the same group as B. angasiana Pfr., B. baconi Bens., and B. mas- 

 tersi Cox, all from the southwestern region of the Australian conti- 

 nent" (Brazier). 



I have not seen specimens of this form, which would seem from 

 the figures to be much more slender than B. physoides, as w r ell as 

 more roughly sculptured. It is here subordinated to B. physoides in 

 deference to the opinion of Mr. E. A. Smith. 



Var. HUMILIS Pilsbry, n. v. PI. 2, figs. 33, 34. 



Shell very narrowly perforate, ovate-conic, thin ; white, with some 

 corneous-brown streaks on the last whorl, more on the spire, the 

 apical whorls sometimes dull reddish ; no dark umbilical patch. 

 Surface somewhat shining, longitudinally wrinkled, the wrinkles 

 stronger near the suture, weaker towards the base, more or less dis- 

 tinctly cut into long granules below the last suture and on the spire 

 by decussating spirals. Spire short, the apex obtuse ; nearly 2 ne- 

 pionic whorls, deeply, finely and distinctly pitted, as in B. Icingii. 

 Whorls 41, the last one rather inflated. 



Aperture oblique, ovate, white, or with some corneous and ochrey 

 streaks within ; outer lip simple, columellar lip reflexed rather nar- 

 rowly above.
