livida, peristoma expansum, reflexunij sordide violaceum, 

 margine externo sinuato, columellari incrassatOj dilatato,

 Brit.) 



This remarkable snail has a tendency towards a trochi- 

 forrri , :>jut;our. The ground colour appears as a white 

 band on the body whorl marking its most prominent 

 portion just below the centre. The sinuation of the 

 outer lip and impression of the whorl behind the peristome, 

 give a slightly ringent aspect to the mouth. It is very 

 distinct from any known species ; its affinities are more 

 with Australian than with Philippine forms. It was 

 taken on a tree in the South-East Island of the Louisiade 

 Archipelago.

This handsome species is of a rich fulvous hue, with 

 dark chestnut bands and a deep chestnut umbilicus, partly 

 covered by the reflexion of the nearly black lip. It is 

 alUed to the H. Iricei, a well known north-east Australian 

 species. It was found in hollow trees, and under logs 

 and stones at Port Molle, in the same region.
