THE LAND SHELLS. By EDGAE A. SMITH (British Museum). 



[cOMMinsriCATED BY PEOPESSOE, HADBON.] 



[Eead June 18, 1890.] 



No special attention was given to collecting terrestrial Mollusca, 

 as the study of marine zoology was the principal object of Professor 

 Haddon's researches. However, a few species were collected ; hut, 

 beyond adding a little to our knowledge of their geographical 

 range, and in one or two cases exhibiting considerable variation 

 in size, these specimens possess slight interest. 



In order to give a better idea of the land shells of this district, 

 all the forms from Torres Straits and Cape York, recorded by Mr. 

 C. Hedley of the Brisbane Museum, in his useful "List of the 

 Land Shells recorded from Queensland " {Proc. Roy. Soc. Queens- 

 land, 1888, v., p. 45), have been added, as weU as the corrections 

 noted in Mr. H. Tryon's " Errata" in the above Paper (t. c. p. 131). 



The species collected by Professor Haddon are marked with an 

 asterisk ; other localities than those of Torres Straits are put within 

 brackets.
