Var. elongata Hedley. PI. 5, fig. 82. 



More elevated than the type, and represented by Mon. Austr. L 

 Shells, pi. 18, f. 15 (Hedley, t. c. 9 p. 31). 



Var. azonata Hedley. 



Bandless, entire shell straw-yellow colored (Hedley, 1. c.). Thii 

 seems to differ but little from the next variety.

" Shell imperforate, elongately ovate, solid, shining, everywher< 

 marked with very fine decussated transverse stria? crossing the linei 

 of growth, rich olive-brown without any markings, paler towards th< 

 apex; whorls 5, slightly convex; spire conical, blunt at the apex 

 aperture pale lilac within, longer than the spire, wider towards th< 

 base, outer lip simple ; columella arcuate, the margins united by i

Bulimus ponsonbii ANGAS, P. Z. S., 1877, p. 170, pi. 26, f. 1 



Bulimus (Liparus) ponsonbii Ang., SMITH, Proc. Malac. Soc. i, p 

 94. Conf. HEDLEY, t. c., p. 260. 



*' This seems to have been hitherto overlooked by authors, or con 

 founded in some unaccountable manner with the Bulimus atomatus o 

 Gray, from New South Wales, from which it is altogether distinct 

 I found three examples in the British Museum labelled B. atomatu, 

 var., with a note on the back of the tablet stating that they wen 

 obtained by Mr. John Gould in Western Australia in 1830." (Angas.\ 



The imperforate axis, pale lilac color of the mouth, and the con 

 tour, all incline me to adopt Hedley's opinion that this is merely i 

 form of P. atomata, and from New South Wales, not Western Aus 

 tralia. A specimen before me from Ash Island, N. S. W., agrees 

 exactly with Angas' figure in color and form, entirely lacking tin 

 chestnut lineolation of the ordinary form. 



P. LARREYI (Brazier). PL 5, figs. 79, 80. 



Shell imperforate, long-ovate, thin; pale yellowish or pale red 

 closely marked with fine, very short, irregular, obliquely descending 

 lines or dots forming spiral zones alternating with bands of arrow- 

 shaped or obliquely rhombic blackish-chestnut spots, the subsutural 

 row squarish. Surface lusterless, faintly marked with growth-Stria! 

 Spire short, conic, the apex very obtuse with sunken tip. Whorls
