NOTES ON QUEENSLAND LAND-SHELLS, 



Several species have recently come under my notice as occurring 

 in Queensland, and appear to me worthy of record. Since Mr. 

 Brazier has been kind enough to compare specimens collected by me 

 with the types in the Sydney Museum, these identifications are 

 reliable. 



Diplomphalus vinitincta, Cox, var. Wolston Scrub. 

 Helix porteri, Cox, Little Neiang Creek. 

 Vertigo kingi, Cox, var. Burleigh Head. 

 Tatea rufilabris, A. Adams. Curumbin Creek. 

 Assiminea affinis, Mousson, Curumbin Creek. 

 Pupina pineticola, Cox, Burleigh Head. 



I find that I have accidently omitted from my list of Queens- 

 land shells the variety meridionalis of Helix palmenis, see Pro. 

 Linn. Soc. of N.S.W., Vol. V. p. 458 ; also Helix banned, 

 Macgillivray, a species figured and described in Cox's Monograph. 

 Some copies of this work are not supplied with plate 20, which 

 deficiency prevented me from quoting the figures of Helix curtisiana, 

 Pfr., Pupina strangei, Pfr., and Truncatella ferruginea, Cox. 



L. Island, the habitat of H. arthuriana, Cox. and H. challisi, 

 Cox, is incorrectly located by me in Torres Straits ; its real position 

 is in the neighbourhood of Broadsound, 20° 52* S. Lat; and 149° 

 ZT E. Long. 



Torres Straits is also credited with Helix aureedensis, Brazier. 

 That author nforms me that the true locality is the vicinity of Port 

 Denison. 



In the plate accompanying Pt. IV., Vol. V., the figure of the 

 animal of C. delta is by a mistake stated to be the ' natural size.' 

 It is really magnified by about 4£ diameters as indicated in the 

 letterpress. The mistake arises from the omission of a line 10 m.m. 

 long, to which the words refer.
