390 MR. G. F. ANGAS ON NEW SHELLS. [June 1, 
descending in front, a little contracted behind the aperture ; aperture 
very oblique, ovate, purplish brown within ; peristome not thickened, 
widely expanded, the margins approximating, joined by a thin callus ; 
the right margin slightly flexuous, brown ; the columellar margin 
white, dilated and refiexed, nearly concealing the perforation. 
Diam. maj. 10, min. 7, alt. 7 lines. 
Hab. North-west Australia. 
This shell differs from the other Australian Helices to which it is 
allied, in having the outer lip thin and very widely expanded. I 
have named it after Mr. John Forrest, whose recent explorations in 
Western and Central Australia have added to our knowledge of a 
hitherto unknown portion of that island continent. 
2. Hexix BROUGHAMI, n. sp. (Plate XLV. figs. 4, 4a.) 
Shell narrowly perforate, conically globose, rather thin, obliquely 
striated and obscurely minutely granulated, very pale brown above, 
white below, with three narrow reddish brown bands—one at the 
suture, one above, and one below the periphery of the last whorl ; 
spire obtusely and depressedly conical; whorls 53, slightly convex, 
the last rounded, descending in front ; aperture oblique, circularly 
lunate ; peristome slightly expanded and reflexed, the margins ap- 
proximating, the columellar margin almost straight, dilated above, 
and nearly covering the perforation, 
Diam. maj. 12, min. 10, alt. 10 lines. 
Hab. Port Lincoln, South Australia. 
Allied to H. cassandra, Pfr., but differs in having the spire con- 
siderably more elevated, and in the columellar margin being straight- 
ened and dilated and reflexed, nearly concealing the perforation. 
3. EuryYTA BRAZIERI, n. sp. (Plate XLV. figs. 5, 5a.) 
Shell somewhat narrowly fusiform, the spire a little longer than 
the aperture, white, shining, ornamented with three broad transverse 
sharply defined bands of irregular descending olive-brown lines here 
and there passing into blotches, the central band the broadest ; apex 
olive-brown ; whorls 7, slightly convex, longitudinally plicate, the last 
whorl more narrowly and finely plicate, with the interstices crossed 
by fine lire, the plicee ceasing above the central band, faintly trans- 
versely sulcate at the base; aperture narrow; columella slightly 
subflexuous and covered with a thin callus; outer lip simple, acute. 
Long. 6, lat. 14 lines. 
Hab. Dredged off Port-Jackson Heads, in 25 fathoms. 
A prettily marked shell, quite distinct from any of the other 
Australian species of this genus hitherto described.
