labelled as a variety of H. incei, Pfr., but //. incei lias no white 

 thread-like line at the suture as in the present species. 



6. Helix (Hygromia) bednalli. 



Shell perforated, rather conoidly globose, very thin, fragile, ob- 

 liquely rugose at the upper part, granulated under the lens, sub- 

 diaphanous, light horny green, with a fine reddish ring encircling the 

 suture, and a rather broad one of the same colour encircling the per- 

 foration ; spire conoid, somewhat obtuse ; whorls 5 to 5^, moderately 

 convex, the last very much inflated, rounded ; base convex, much 

 smoother than the upper surface ; aperture obliquely lunar, rather 

 large ; peristome thin, of a pinkish colour ; margins distant, right ex- 

 panded, columellar margin reflected and covering one quarter of the 

 perforation. 



Diam. maj. 8, min. 6£, alt. 5 lines. 



Hab. Near Adelaide, South Australia {Waterhouse and Bednall ; 

 in South Australian Museum and coll. Brazier). 



This species I received from my two friends Messrs. Waterhouse 

 and Bednall, under the name of Helix adelaidce, Pfr. The Helix 

 iidelaidce is a small depressed species, keeled, and with the umbilicus 

 perspective. Helix bednalli I have compared with some hundreds of 

 H. grayi, Pfr., and H.jervisensis, Quoy and Gaimard, and find 

 sufficient characters to warrant it to rank as a distinct species. The 

 note sent by Mr. Waterhouse with his specimens states that it is a 

 species very rarely obtained in a good state of preservation. 



7. Helix (Charopa) subdepressa. 



Shell umbilicated, depressed, nearly discoid, thin, closely covered 

 with fine silky striae, the interstices under the lens with still finer 

 striae, rather oblique, shining white ; spire fiat, suture channelled ; 

 whorls 5^, rather convex, last angled and descending in front ; um- 

 bilicus wide, rather perspective, and rounded at the bottom, equal- 

 ling more than half of the diameter ; basal whorl convex, with striae 

 the same as on the upper surface, and running into the umbilicus ; 

 aperture nearly vertical ; peristome simple, acute, triangularly ovate ; 

 margins distant, right straight, slightly expanded, columellar margin 

 not reflected. 



Diam. maj. 1£, min. 1, alt. ^ line ; diam. of umbilicus | line. 



Hab. Snowy River, Gipps Land, Victoria (Mr. IV. Kershaw ; coll. 

 Brazier). 



This interesting little species is pure white, and is found in the 

 snowy Australian region that divides New South Wales from Victoria. 



8. BULIMUS (LlPARUS) KERSHAWI. 



Shell imperforate, ovate, thin, diaphanous, shining, dark yellowish 

 brown, marked with numerous longitudinal and irregular dark yellow 

 and brown lines, some broad and some very narrow, rather running 

 one into the other ; and under the lens are to be seen longitudinal and 

 transverse small granulations ; spire moderately conical, rather obtuse 

 at the apex ; suture crenulattd ; whorls 5, convex, the last inflated,
