586 MR. J. BRAZIER ON AUSTRALIAN SHELLS. [June 20, 



however, there has not been one of the genus Partula found, either 

 in New Caledonia or the Loyalty Islands. 



4. PUPINA MOULINSIANA. 



Pupina moulinsiana, Fischer et Bernardi, Journ. de Conch. 1856*, 

 p. 299, pi. 10. figs. 6&7; Pfr. in Mon. Pneum. Vivent. 1858, tome ii. 

 p. 93, and 18G5, tome iii. p. 92 ; Sowerby, Thes. Couch, vol. hi. pi. 

 265, Pupinidce, fig. 36. 



Pupina leucostoma, Montrouzier, MS. 



Pupina intermedia, Angas, MS. Australian Museum. 



Hab. Woodlark Island, north of the Louisiades, near the coast of 

 Papua or New Guinea (coll. Brazier). 



This species was described from specimens said to have been re- 

 ceived from New Caledonia. It was taken there by the French 

 Missionaries in their voyages from Woodlark Island. Dr. PfeifTer, 

 in his last number of ' Monographia Pueumonopomorum Viventium,' 

 gives the correct locality ; but Mr. Sowerby, in the * Thesaurus 

 Conch yliorum,' a still later work, goes back to the original New 

 Caledonia. In going through the species in the Australian Museum, 

 Sydney, I find two specimens named by Mr. Angas some time back 

 when he was in Australia. 



5. Pupina meridionalis. 



Pupina meridionalis, Pfr. Proc. Zool. Soc. 1863, p. 526; Pfr. 

 Monog. Pneum. Vivent. tome iii. p. 92. 



Pupinella macyillivrayi, Cox, Catalogue of Australian Land 

 Shells, 1864, p. 32. 



Pupina meridionalis, Cox, in Monograph of Australian Land 

 Shells, 1868, p. 100, pi. 16. figs. 7, la, 7b (7c, operculum); 

 Sowerby, Thes. Conch, vol. iii. Pupinidce, pi. 265. fig. 33. 



Hab. Port Denison, Queensland (coll. Brazier). 



This species is not found in South Australia as quoted by Dr. 

 PfeifTer and Mr. Sowerby, their valuable conchological works not 

 being always correct as regards the localities of the species. 



6. Pupina planilabris. 



Pupina planilabris, Pfr. Proc. Zool. Soc. 1863, p. 526; Pfr. 

 Monog. Pneum. Viven. tome iii. p. 93. 



Pupinella whartoni, Cox, Catalogue of Australian Land Shells, 

 1864, p. 32. 



Pupina planilabris, Cox, in Monograph Australian Land Shells, 

 1868, p. 99, pi. 16. figs. 11, 11a, 116; Sowerby, Thes. Concb. 

 vol. iii. Pupinidce, pi. 265. fig. 34. 



Hab. Port Curtis and Port Denison, Queensland, north-east coast 

 of Australia (Coll. Brazier). 



This is another species erroneously stated by the same authorities 

 as in the case of the preceding one to be from South Australia. 



* Dr. Pfeiffer makes an error in his ' Mon. Pneum. Vivent.' 1858 when he re- 

 fers (o the description of this species in the 'Journal tie Conch.' Jan. 1857. 1 

 find the description in that Journal of July 1856.
