A chestnut-colored shell, very variable in size and degree of 

 carination. The smallest specimen before me (see pi. 43, fig. 51) 

 measures alt. 16, diam. 20 * mill. The color of the lip varies from 

 pink to nearly white ; the color of the surface from dark chestnut 

 to yellowish-brown. 



This species is probably a synonym or mere variety of H. gulosa 

 Gould, described a year previous. H. scotti Cox is perhaps a local 

 variety. 



H. SCOTTI Cox. PI. 43, figs. 47. 



Shell narrowly umbilicated, turbinately-globose, radiately roughly 

 striated, minutely granular throughout, sub-pellucid, chestnut col- 

 oured, paler at the apex ; whorls 6, slightly convex, the last tumid 

 and rounded ; aperture Innately sub-circular ; peristome moderately 

 thickened, straight, partly reflected, white within. ( Cox.) 



Alt. 0'90, greater diam. 1*50, lesser 1*25 inch.

Closely allied to If. coriaria (=gulosa Gld.), of which it is pro- 

 bably a variety. 



H. MONACHA Pfeiffer. PI. 43, figs. 39. 



Shell imperforate, globosely-conical, solid, roughly striated, and 

 under the lens, minutely granulated, of a chestnut color ; spire con- 

 oidly elevated, rather obtuse ; whorls 5?, moderately convex, grad- 

 ually increasing in size, the last slightly decending in front, obsoletely 

 sub-angled in the middle; aperture for the most part diagonal, 

 rotundately-lunar, livid within, shining, peristome flesh-colored, short- 

 ly expanded throughout; margins separated, the columellar mar- 

 gin being expanded at its insertion into a triangular adnate plate. 

 (Cox.) Alt. 19, greater diam. 27, lesser 23 mill.

 Kurrajong, N. S. Wales, Australia.

 Viv. v, p. 278. Cox, Monogr. Austr. L. Sh. p. 38, t. 18, f. 13. 



More elevated than H. coriaria, with dark specimens of which it 

 is likely to be confused.
