LAND SHELLS OF VICTORIA 115 



Barrett) ; Geelong (H. W. Davey) ; Sunshine (J. E. Dixon) ; 

 Broadmeadows. 



Observations. — A rather flat species with a broad umbilicus. 

 The authors describe the colour as ochraceous-buff, with a few 

 faint radial streaks of brown, and remark: "in general appear- 

 ance like F. diemenensis and F. marchianae, between which it is 

 intermediate in size. The break in sculpture of F. elenescms 

 readily distinguishes it." It is a species easy of recognition. Type 

 in Australian Museum Sydney.

Observations— The other member of the genus in Victoria is 

 T. fordei (Braz.) var. m'eoyi (Petterd), a form frequently loca- 

 ted in the Dandenong ranges. T. transtucens may be distinguished 

 by a more angled periphery and by its zigzag colour bands; the 

 latter character, where a little variation exists is more evident in 

 the paratype than in the holotype. This species is placed by 

 Iredale in his genus Mutatliena, Aust. Zool., IX., p. 1, 1937, a 

 genus erected by the author Rec. Aust. Mus. XIX, p. 53, 1933 with 

 Helix fordei Brazier as Type.
