120 LAND SHELLS OF VICTORIA 



with several others recorded in this communication were presen- 

 ted to the writer by that keen land shell enthusiast, to whom I am 

 much indebted — the late Mr. J. A. Kershaw. 



Type in the collections of the National Museum of Victoria. 

 Reg. No. F. 1065. 



Genus EGILODONTA Iredale, 1937. 

 Egilodonta bairnsdalensis Gabriel. 



1930. Charopa hairnsdalcnsis Gabriel. P.R.S. Vie., XLIII (N.S.), pt, 1, p. 



78, pi. 2, fig S . ii, 12. 

 1937. Egilodonta b<rirtisdalemU (Gabriel). Iredale, Aust. Zool. VIII, p. 328. 



Size of Type — Maj. diam., 2-0; min., 1-8; alt., 0-9mm. 



Localities. — Baimsdale (Type, T. Worcester) ; Jemmy's Point, 

 Lakes Entrance (Self). 



Observations. — The type and two paratypes are imperfect. It 

 is a beautifully sculptured form found alive at the latter locality, 

 a little above tide mark under logs and decaying leaves, in asso- 

 ciation with the new species Charopa jemmysensis. Its removal 

 to the above genus is obvious, as Iredale points out "the mouth 

 shows a long entering palatal lamella, and another shorter basal 

 one, a feature not noticed in the original description." (Type of 

 Genus.) Externally somewhat approaches H. coclilidium Cox, 

 but is flatter and possesses a larger umbilicus.

 1933. Oreomava otivayensis (Pett.). Iredale, Rec. Aust, Mus., XIX, p. 54. 

 1937. Id., Iredale, Aust, Zool, VIII, p. 330. 



Size of Type. — Maj. diam., 2; min., 1-5; alt., 1mm. 



Localities. — Cape Otway (Petterd) ; Fernshaw (Kershaw) ;

 Mitchell Gorge (C. Oke) ; Taggerty (Nat. Mus. Vic.) ; Tarraville 

 (T. Worcester); Mt. Dandenong, Marysville (Self). 



Observations. — An ornate little species, imperforate and with 

 the interstices minutely decussate. The type locality is Cape 

 Otway scrubs. Johnston in Petterd (Joe. cit.) records a variety 

 from north west Tasmania and remarks ' ' Two specimens obtained 

 by T. R. Atkinson and myself in the vicinity of Surrey Hills 

 nearly 2,000 feet above the sea level. It is nearly twice the size 

 of its Victorian representative, and the sculpture is proportion- 

 ately coarser. On this account, and as it is new to Tasmania, I
