Hurron.—On New Zealand Land Shells. 165 
Hab. Greymouth (R. Helms). 
The surface of the shell between the ribs is finely reticulated. 
PATULA IGNIFLUA, Reeve (—lambda, Pf.). Pl. x., fig. n. 
Animal with the mantle sub-central, slightly reflected over the peristome 
of the shell : tail pointed, with a caudal mucous gland, but no papilla ; eye- 
peduncles approximated at their bases. White, with clusters of brown 
spots and an interrupted brown line round the sides, below which the 
margin of the foot is striped with brown and white transverse bands; a 
streak on each side of the head black; sole of the foot mottled with brown, 
arranged in irregular transverse bands, which slope backwards and form an 
obtuse angle in the centre.

PATULA PORTIA. Gray. Pl, ix., fi 
Jaw arched, not tapering, with about 34 flat ribs, or plates. 
Dentition, 24-1-24. Laterals about 9. 
Central tooth rather wedge-shaped, broader behind, longer than broad ; 
the reflexed portion triangular, slightly constricted, not covering half the 
base, the point small; laterals rather oblique, broader than the central, the 
reflexed portion bicuspid with a long point on the inner cusp. They pass 
gradually into the marginals which are rather broader than long, with a 
long cutting point, and a small one on each side of it. 
Hab, Auckland (Cheeseman). 
PATULA VENULATA, Pfeiffer. Pl. xi., fig. v. 
Jaw arched, with about 10 flat ribs in the centre ; the ends striated. 
Dentition, 17-1-17.  Laterals 6 
Central tooth rectangular, longer than broad; the reflexed portion 
tricuspid, the lateral cusps small and constricted on the outer side ; central 
cusp reaching nearly three quarters of the length of the base, the cutting 
point large. Laterals like the central, but broader, and the lateral cusps 
with points, of which the inner is the larger. The cusps get smaller, and 
the inner cutting point gets larger until the inner marginals have two, 
nearly equal, points and a small outside point. The outer marginals have 
the two points coalesced into a single bidentate point; while the outer point 
gets larger. The 17th marginal has only two small points.
