Achatinella wakefieldice Cox, Monograph, of Australian 

 Land Shells, p. 78 (1868). Tornatellina wakefieldia Petterd, 

 Journ. de Conchy!., xxv, 1877, p. 361. PFEIFFER, Monogra- 

 phia, viii, p. 318. Tornatellina wakefieldce Cox, HEDLEY, 

 Records of the Australian Museum, iii, 1899, p. 153, pi. 28, 

 fig. 14. 



The shell is globosely-ovate, corneous, and under a lens, very 

 finely but not very distinctly striate spirally. The parietal 

 lamella is very low. Columellar plate is quite short and dis- 

 tinctly bilobed. Length 2.5, diam. 2.1 mm. ; 3% whorls (fig. 

 10). Mr. Hedley's figure of E. wakefieldicz from Bryon Bay, 

 N. S. W., is copied in fig. 9. Fig. 10 is from a younger New 

 South Wales example. 



The distinctions between this species, T. eucharis and T. 

 terrestris have not been pointed out, if any exist. According 

 to Hedley's figures, eucharis has a shorter spire and larger 

 aperture, but these differences may be due to the different 

 ages of the examples figured. We have not seen either of 

 Brazier's species, and until they are furnished with differ- 

 ential characters it hardly seems worth while to admit them as 

 species. All published information is repeated below. 



Tornatellina eucharis Brazier. PL 30, fig. 8. " Shell im- 

 perforated, somewhat ovately conical, thin, transparent, 

 glossy, very finely striated and decussated with finer striae; 

 pale-straw color. Whorls 31/2, convex, the last large and in- 

 flated, three-fourths the whole length, spire very short, apex 

 roundly obtuse ; thickened long callus tooth on the centre of 

 body-whorl entering spirally ; base rounded. Aperture nearly 

 vertical, ovate, peristome membranous, margins regular, the 

 outer arched, columella twisted, rather thickened, entering 

 spirally inwards, leaving about it a small groove. Length l 1 /^, 

 breadth 1 line" (Brazier).
