/. Species from Australia : — 
The Monograph of Australian Land-shells,^^ by J. Cox, has 
been mentioned above, p. 421. The species of Helix are treated 
on pp. 1-68 ; they are distributed in groups, for which some- 
times names are used properly belonging to extra- Australian 
forms, with which they should not be united. It would take 
too much space to enumerate here all the species, and we must 
be satisfied to mention those only examined by the author ; but 
we must again state thht the work is indispensable to the student 
of Australian malacology : —

Xesta of Albers, which belongs to Nanind] : villaris (Pfr.), p. 2, pi. 10. fig. 8 ;
