new Li'mmecB are described, L. Brazieri (pi. v. fig. 15) Glebe 

 Point, Sydney, N.S.W. ; and L. Victories (pi. v. fig. 16) from 

 Barnsdale, South Australia. Nine new Physce are described, 

 wiz., F. gradlenta (pi. vi. fig. 20); F. produda (fig. 21); F. 

 Brazieri (^'g. 22); F. Qiieenslandica {^g. 23); F. Quoyi {^g. 24); 

 F. Etheridgii {^g. 25); F. breviculmen (fig. 26); F. temnlirata 

 (fig. 27); F. exarata (fig. 28). Two new Fla7iorbes are also 

 described, viz: — essingtonensis (fig. 33-35), and Macquariensis 

 (pi. vii. fig. 4-6). 



Flanorbis spirorbis Miill. is also included in the list on the 

 strength of two series labelled N. Australia in Cumingian 

 Museum. Two new Segmentince are also added to the list — 

 Australiensis and Vidoria. The latter species has no lamellse, 

 and we think it is hardly correctly placed in this genus, being 

 deficient of its essential character. Two new CorbicidcK are 

 described, Deshayesii (pi. vii. fig. 28-29), and sublcevigata 

 (fig. 30-31). The new Sphceria are Queenslandicum (fig. 33), 

 and Macgillivrayi (fig. 34), and a new Fisidium not unlike 

 casertanutn is described as Etheridgii (fig. 35). 



The whole work is ably and thoroughly done, and is a most 

 desirable contribution to our knowledge of the freshwater shells 

 of that vast continent, and it forms a most welcome basis for 

 further investigation — J.W.T. 



Land and Freshwater Mollusca in the Arctic 

 Regions of Norway. — By Miss Bergith Esmark. 



Thirty-five species are enumerated, but several are consider- 

 ed by British Conchologists as varieties only. A new variety of 

 Z. truncatula is described and figured — v. Sdmeideri — which was 

 found very numerously on Floifjeld. 



Helix harpa has been found at Kirkenaes in South Varanger 

 and H. fruticum at Lofoten. IT. arbustorum and its varieties 

 alpestris and viorbosa-albina also, are found in the Region under 

 consideration. An addition to Norwegian species is Ftcpa 

 ardica, Wallenberg, found by Mr. Schneider on Horno at Vardo.
