Smith — Land Shells of Torres Straits, 11 



Habitat. — Mount Ernest Island, Torres Straits [or Nagir] : 

 (Andromache Eiver). 



* Stenogyra [Opeas] tiickeri, Pfeiffer. 



Pfeiffer, 1846, Proc. Zool. Soc, p. 30 ; Cox, 1868, Monogr., 

 Austr. Land Shells, p. 69, pi. xm., fig. 9 ; Garrett, 1887, Proc. 

 Zool. Soc, p. 185 (extensive synonomy). 



Habitat. — Sir Charles Hardy's Islands (Pfr.) ; Clarence Heads, 

 N. S. W. Generally distributed throughout Queensland and its 

 islands, from Brisbane to Cape York (Cox) . Garrett claims for it 

 s, wider range than any other land-shell, embracing Australia, the 

 whole of Polynesia, Eastern and Southern Asia, probably the 

 ■east coast of Africa, and the West Indies, where it was acci- 

 dentally introduced with the bread-fruit plants from Tahiti. 



Some of the specimens obtained at Mabuiag by Professor 

 Haddon are considerably more slender than this; variation in 

 size, sculpture, and the acuteness of the spire has also been re- 

 ferred to by Cox. Neither his figure nor Eeeve's (Conch Icon. 

 Bulimus, fig. 481) is characteristic. The former has the sutures 

 ioo oblique, the whorls not sufficiently convex, and the last much 

 too long. In the latter the spire is too tapering, and the apex 

 too acuminate. 



*Pupa pacifica. 



Pfeiffer, 1846, Proc. Zool. Soc, p. 31; id., Mon. Hel., ii., 

 p. 309 ; Kiister, Conch. Cab., pi. xix., figs. 26-28. 



Habitat. — Mabuiag, Torres Straits (Haddon). 



The only locality hitherto quoted for this species is "Sir 

 ■Charles Hardy's Island." I presume this is the " Hardy Island " 

 .given on maps, as situated off the east coast of North Queensland.

 figured.
