NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN SPECIES 



OF BITHINIA, SEGMENTINA AND FUSUS, 



AND DESCRIPTION OF A NEW MELANIA. 



By EDGAR A. SMITH, F.Z.S. 

 Zoological Department, British Museum. 



In the list of Australian species of the genus Bithinia, 

 which I published in the Journal of the Linnean Society, 

 Zoology, vol. xvi., 1881, pp. 266, 267, I omitted to mention 

 B. vtctorm, described by Tennison-Woods.* This omission 

 was the result of relying upon "the Zoological Record," in 

 which no mention was made of the publication of this species. 



The British Museum has recently received from Mr. John 

 Brazier, of Sydney, two series of Bithinice, the one from Eastern 

 Creek, New South Wales, which he informs me consists of 

 typical examples of his B. hyalina, the other from Parramatta 

 Park, Parramatta, New South Wales, comprising specimens of 

 the species described by Tryon, as Gabbia australis. 



On carefully comparing these two series I fail to discover 

 any distinguishing features in the shells, and therefore unite 

 them under the name of Bithinia australis.
