The species is rather variable in size and in the degree of eleva- 

 tion of the spire. There are also some mutations in coloration. 

 One specimen before me is light brown all over, the peristome white ; 

 suture bordered by a dark band. Mr. Brazier says : Specimens 

 from the Bellengen are very large, a few that I collected measuring 

 17 lines (35 mill.) in the greater diameter. A variety is also met 

 with of a dirty yellow color, with a dark chestnut band on the 

 periphery. The specimens from the other localities are of smaller 

 size and of a dark chestnut color. At Port Macquarie it is found 

 on high hills near the sea under logs. 



The basal lip usually exhibits a callus like a long low tooth, nearer 

 to the columella than to the outer angle ; but this, like the sinuosity 

 just above the outer angle, is often nearly obsolete.

This section was proposed for an extremely peculiar Helix, differ- 

 ing from nearly all others in having the upper and lower surfaces 

 totally dissimilar in sculpture and coloration. It is lusterless and 

 tuberculate-lirate above, polished beneath ; the umbilicus is open ; 

 the last whorl acutely keeled, suddenly deflexed in front. The aper- 

 ture is very oblique, the peristome scarcely at all expanded, and 

 just above the carina it is sinuous, projecting forward and down- 

 ward in a little point.
