the last large, inflated in front, depressed above, base convex, yel- 

 lowish, glossy, sculptured with striae giving it a wrinkled appearance ; 

 umbilicus large and deep, rounded at the edge, with the striae more' 

 distinct and running into the interior; aperture oblique, ovately 

 lunate, interior pinkish ; peristome simple, thin, margins nearly ap- 

 proximating, the outer arched, columellar thin and reflexed. 



Diam. maj. 8, min. 6, alt. 4 lines. 



Hab. Mount-Lofty rauges, near Adelaide, South Australia (coll. 

 Brazier). 



This species appears to be quite common in a subfossil state in 

 and around Adelaide.

Shell somewhat perforate, rather turreted, very thin, transparent, 

 shining, moderately smooth, with very faint oblique striae (as seen 

 under the lens), bright yellowish horn-colour ; spire very little elon- 

 gated, obtuse at the apex ; whorls 5, convex, impressed at the suture, 

 the last equalling about half of the length ; aperture ovate, with a 

 thin central vertical tooth ; columella twisted and entering spirally • 

 peristome simple, acute. ' 



Length 1 line, diam. § ; length of aperture \ line. 



Hab. Lord Howe's Island {coll. Australian Museum). 



6. 1 SlMPULOPSIS MASTERSI. 



Shell somewhat globose, thin, very faintly and irregularly trans- 

 versely striated, marked with irregular reddish- and yellowish-brown 

 flames running rather obliquely ; spire very small, conical ; suture 

 impressed; whorls 3|, convex, the last very largely and openly 

 dilated; aperture rather large, wide, ovately lunate; columella 

 arched, and not thickened ; peristome simple, acute. 



Length 3|, breadth 2{ ; length of aperture 2\ lines, breadth 1 J line.

 Tornatellina inconspicua, by Mr. Masters when collecting at the 

 above island. 



8. Additional Notes on the Raptorial Birds of North-western 

 India. By A. Anderson, F.Z.S. 



[Eeceived April 9, 1872.]
