Much larger and more cretaceous than other Australian 

 species. It has the appearance of a desert snail. 



The shell is solid, rather opaque, cream-buff with whitish 

 streaks, a little browner towards the summit, whiter on the 

 last whorl, or the last two or three whorls may be nearly 

 white. The penult whorl is as wide as the last ; above that it 

 tapers rapidly to the small, somewhat obtuse, glossy apex. 

 The later whorls are somewhat flattened, the last slowly 

 ascending in front, saccate basally. The striation is distinct, 

 irregular. The ovate aperture has a narrowly reflected, in- 

 ternally thickened peristome, the columellar margin dilated, 

 insertions widely separated. A small angular tubercle is 

 more or less joined to the lip-insertion. 



Length 6.35, diam. 2.6 mm. ; 6 whorls. Port Lincoln. 



Length 5.6, diam. 2.45 mm. ; 5% whorls. Port Lincoln. 



Pupa ramsayi Cox was subsequently placed by him in the 

 synonymy of adelaidce, and came from the same district. Its 

 length was given as 0.2 inch, about 5 mm.
