1875.] MR. BRAZIER ON NEW SHELLS FROM QUEENSLAND. 33 
minutely granulated, shining, thin, dirty yellow; whorls 6, convex, 
suture impressed, the last whorl large, obtusely carinated at the 
periphery, base roundly convex, with the strize running into the deep 
funnel-shaped umbilicus; aperture oblique, ovately lunate, interior 
white ; peristome white, thickened, margins approximating and joined 
by a thin white callus, the right thin and descending below the 
centre, columellar reflected slightly over the umbilicus. 
Diam. maj. 144, min. 13, alt. 10 lines. 
Had. Johnson river, Queensland ; in the scrubs (coll, Brazier). 
I feel great pleasure in naming this shell after Mrs. Charles Coxen, 
a lady much interested in Australian natural history. 
6. Hexrx (HapraA) MossMANI, sp. nov. (Plate IV. fig. 6.) 
Shell imperforate, globosely turbinated, very faintly obliquely 
striated, exhibiting minute spiral lines and granulations (only seen 
under the lens), reddish yellow, with numerous spiral chestnut lines 
and bands; spire conical, apex obtuse; whorls 63, slightly convex, 
suture slightly crenulated ; aperture oblique, ovately lunate; peri- 
stome black, reflected, margins approximating, the right descending 
at the upper part, columellar thickened, with a black callus round the 
umbilical region. 
Diam. maj. 19, min. 15, alt. 19} lines. 
Hab, Dawson river, Queensland. 
This fine species comes near to Heliw fraseri in its markings, but 
differs in being more turbinated, and in the lip being thinner. 
7. Heurx (RuyTIDA) SHERIDANI, sp. nov. (PlateIV. figs. 7, 7a.) 
Shell umbilicated, conoidly globose, thin, closely, regularly and 
finely obliquely striated to the periphery, reddish chestnut ; whorls 
44, moderately convex, the last large, flattened at the suture, base 
convex, showing faint, irregular, oblique lines from the periphery to 
the edge of the umbilicus, where they become more conspicuous ; 
umbilicus wide and deep; aperture nearly vertical, roundly lunate, 
bluish within ; peristome acute, margins distant, columellar a little 
dilated. 
Diam. maj. 133, min. 11, alt. 8 lines. 
Hab. Cardwell, Rockingham Bay, N.E. Australia. 
I have named this species at the request of Mr. Coxen after his 
friend Mr. Sheridan, of Cardwell. 
8. Herrx (XANTHOMELON) DAINTREEI. (Plate IV. fig. 8.) 
Shell umbilicated, somewhat depressedly globose, very thin, rugosely 
striated, minutely granulated, pale yellowish brown; spire conical, 
obtuse ; whorls 53, convex, last large, inflated, base convex, nearly 
smooth; aperture oblique, lunate; peristome thickened, white, margins 
approximating, right descending in front, columellar reflected and 
partly covering the umbilicus. 
Diam. maj. 12, min. 93, alt. 93 lines. 
Hab. Muggerbaa, Moreton Bay, Queensland.
