8o BRAZIER : NOTES ON AUSTRALASIAN MOLLUSCA. 



B. fuligineus Pfr. — Aneiteum, New Hebrides. Found under 

 tufts of grass in the mountain ranges in company of B. 

 pyrostoimis Pfr. 



B. dux Pfr. — Bald Head, King George's Sound, south-west 

 coast of Austraha. 



B. Hombroni Crosse == B. Founaki Hombron and Jac- 

 quinot. — Ysabel, Solomon Islands. I quite agree with 

 M. Crosse in changing the specific name of this species to 

 B. Hombroni^ for the name given by Hombron and Jac- 

 quinot is quite absurd, it being^ the native name for that 

 shell, " Founak." Mr. E. A. Smith records it from Faro 

 Island, Bougainville Straits, collected by Dr. H. B. Guppy. 

 During my last visit to the Solomons in 1872 I also found 

 it on Treasury Island with Helix Hombroni Pfr. The 

 specimens I sent of B. Hombroni Crosse are some of my 

 original ones obtained in 1865. 



Partula Layardi Brazier (protype). — Tuker Tuker, Vate or 

 Sandwich Island, New Hebrides. Found under rocks and 

 dead leaves. 



P. Layardi var. alba Brazier (type). Shell all white with 

 fine thickened reflected peristome. 



Vertigo Rossiteri Brazier = /'/,?/« Strangei wdiX. Cox. — South 

 Creek, N.S.W. Generally found under decayed leaves at 

 the roots of trees. Cox figured it in his " Monograph of 

 Australian Land Shells," 1868, as a variety of Fnfyn 

 Strangei Pfr. 



Pupina Thomsoni Forbes. — Fitzroy Island, north-east coast 

 of Australia. Found at the roots of trees at the watering- 

 place in 187 1. 



P. Petterdi Crosse =7'. Macleayi Brazier. — Endeavour 

 River, Queensland. — This species was first described by 

 M. Crosse in the French " Journal de Conchyliologie," vol. 

 xxii, 1874 ,p. 370; vol, xxiii, 1875, p. 141, pi .6, fig. 5, 

 as Pupina Pettd^rdi ; it should read Pupina Petterdi. 



J.C, vi., Apr., 1889.
