GASTROCOPTA, AUSTRALIA. 157 



Series of r. pediculus. 



Cclumellar lamella horizontal, submedian. 



G. margaretae and G. moretonensis are lost species, of 

 which the columellar structure is not known. Until new col- 

 lections are made in the type localities, one can do no more 

 than copy the original descriptions and figures. 



94. GASTROCOPTA STRANGEI (Pfeiffer). PI. 26, figs. 3 to 6. 



The shell is sinistral, rimate, oblong-conic, striatulate, 

 glossy, hyaline ; spire convexly turrited, the apex rather acute. 

 Whorls 5, a little convex, the last about % the length, ribbed 

 in front, the base of a somewhat swollen compressed shape. 

 Aperture subvertical, large, truncate-oval, nearly 7-toothed : 

 two close together on the parietal wall, 2 on the columella, 

 and 3 deep within the outer and basal margins. Peristome 

 white calloused, expanded throughout. Length 3, diam. 1% 

 mm. (Pfr.).

This common species in New South Wales is readily known 

 by the large size, sinistral coil and simple columellar lamella. 



The angular lamella approaches the middle of the parietal, 

 and is united thereto by a callous, the whole having the shape 

 of the letter "y". The union is less complete in specimens 

 seen from Sydney (pi. 26, fig. 3) than in those from Narrabri, 

 an inland locality (pi. 26, figs. 4, 6). The columellar lamella
