Testacella vagans,ii. s. = Daudebardia novce-zealandia, Trans. N.Z. Inst., 

 xiv., p. 152 (not of Pfeiffer). 



Shell auriform, subspiral, depressed, imperforate ; elongately oval, the 

 sides nearly parallel, the anterior end rather broader than the posterior ; 

 columellar margin callous ; apex subspiral, posterior ; pale horny, striated 

 with growth-lines. Length of aperture 037; breadth 0'22. Teeth, 15-0-15. 



Animal (in spirit) above slate grey, gradually passing into yellowish 

 white on the sides ; sole yellowish white ; the sides rather marbled with 

 grey. 



Hab. Auckland (T. F. Cheeseman), and Waiuku (T. Kirk). 



The specimen described in the Trans. N.Z. Inst, for last year was with- 

 out its shell, and consequently I thought that it was Vaudebardia novaz- 

 zealandice, the shell but not the animal of which species I know, but Mr. 

 Cheeseman has sent me a specimen with the shell on, and it proves to be 

 quite different. The shell is much like that of T. mangel, but the dentition 

 appears to be different.

Leptopoma pannosa, sp. nov. 



Shell conical, subcarinated, umbilicated, brown, covered with a dark 

 fuscous, ragged epidermis. Spire acutely conical ; whorls six, rather 

 flattened, the last convex below and rounded at the angle ; apical whorls 

 showing close oblique growth-lines ; base fiattish with close growth-lines 

 crossed by delicate spiral striae ; suture impressed : epidermis forming 

 ragged oblique, rather distant plaits on the whorls, and at the periphery 

 produced into triangular pointed processes : umbilicus narrow, open : aper- 

 ture rather oblique, broadly ovate ; peristome thin, regularly arched, or 

 slightly angulated at the periphery, slightly patulous, margins not meeting. 



Height 0'13, diameter - ll inch. 



Operculum thin, transparent, horny, yellow, subcircular, of five gradually 

 enlarging whorls ; nucleus subcentral. 



Animal like Cyclostomus ; pale grey, the tentacles darker; rostrum 

 whitish. Tentacles short, rather stout, pointed ; eyes large, at their outer 

 bases. Dentition, 8-1-3. 



Hab. Greymouth, under very damp logs and earth (Mr. E. Helms). 



In shape this species is much like Hydrocana rubens, Q. & G. (Cyclo- 

 stoma) from Mauritius, figured in Adams' Genera of Mollusca, pi. 87, fig. 2, 

 but the operculum is quite different. 



Leptopoma calva, sp. nov. 



Shell conical, reddish brown with a thin spiral pale band below the 

 periphery ; spire acutely conical ; whorls 6^, rather flattened, the last con- 

 vex below and rounded : epidermis smooth, forming numerous fine oblique
