12. Notes on two Australian Land-shells. 
By Joun Brazier.

Helix edwardsi, Cox, Mon. Austr. Land-shells, p. 109, pl. 19. f. 3. 
Hab. The banks of the Liverpool River, Arnheim’s Land, North 
Coast of Australia (Coll. Brazier). 
The specific name is altered, because Mr. Bland described in 1858 
an American species under the name of H. edwardsi. 
Heurx (PaTuLA) STELLATA. 
Helix (Discus) similis, Cox, Mon. Austr. Land-shells, p. 23, pl. 12.

described a Jamaican Helix similis many years ago.
