band on the periphery and a dark brown narrow band above and 

 below it ; spire depressedly conical ; whorls 5^, rather flat, the last 

 rather large and convex, slightly angled in the middle, base moder- 

 ately convex ; covered with a horny-green epidermis ; aperture an- 

 gularly lunar; lip simple, acute, columellar margin shortly reflected. 



Diam. maj. 4, min. 3§, alt. 2\ lines.

2. Helix (Conulxjs) liardeti. 



Shell perforated, depressedly globose, very thin, pellucid, shining, 

 faintly and irregularly, closely, obliquely striated, horny-green ; spire 

 obtusely convex, suture moderately impressed ; whorls 3|, roundly 

 convex, slowly increasing, the last large, convexly rounded, base con- 

 vex and striated in the same manner as the upper surface ; umbilicus 

 minute ; aperture oblique, roundly lunate ; peristome simple, mar- 

 gins distant, columellar margin recurved and partly concealing the 

 minute umbilicus. 



Diam. maj. |, min. |, alt. f line. 



Hab. Picton, New South Wales ; under wood in company with 

 H. morti, Cox {coll. Lieutenant Liardet, R.N.). 



This minute species was collected by my friend Lieutenant Liardet, 

 who only found one example during his stay of a month at the 

 locality given above. 



3. Helix (Galaxias) liverpoolensis. 



Shell perforate, globularly conical, thin, rather strongly rugosely 

 and plicately striated, (under the lens) finely granulated, covered with 

 a horny-yellow epidermis, with a small narrow chestnut spiral band 

 below the suture; spire conoid, obtuse; whorls 4|, convex, the last 

 large and inflated, descending in front, base convex, smoother than 

 the upper surface ; perforation small, more than half covered, en- 

 circled with a faint broad chestnut band ; aperture oblique, roundly 

 luuate ; peristome moderately straight, thin on the upper part, 

 thickened and reflected at the columellar margin, which is white. 



Diam. maj. 8, min. 6|, alt. 6^ lines. 



Hab. Liverpool range, interior of New South Wales {coll. Austra- 

 lian Museum).- 



This shell was obtained by Mr. George Masters during his visit 

 to the above locality. It approaches nearly to Helix leptogramma, 

 Pfr., but differs in having a narrow chestnut band just under the 

 suture, with a faint one of the same colour round the perforation. 



4. Helix (Zonites) gawleri. 



Shell umbilicated, convexly depressed, thin, very closely rugosely 

 wrinkled with oblique striae to the periphery, interstices smooth ; 

 shining, horny-brown, with dark reddish oblique streaks here and 

 there ; spire small, suture impressed ; whorls 4|, moderately convex,
