INDEX TO THE LAND SHELLS OF VICTORIA. 
Sub-genus allodtscus, Pilsbry, 1892. 
Obs . — The following species are assigned to this sub-genus by 
reason of their spirally striated nuclear whorls.

Helix subdepressa, Brazier, Proc. Zool. Soc., 1871, p. 641. 
Endodonta subdepressa, Hedley, Proc. Linn. Soc., N.S.W., XX VII. , 
1903, p. 605, pi. xxxi., f. 13, 14, 15. 
Helix dandenongensis, Petterd, Journ. of Conch., II., 1879, p. 355. 
Id., Tate, Proc. Roy. Soc., S.A., IV., 1882, p. 75. 
Habitat . — Snowy River and Fernshaw (Kershaw), Dandenong

District (Jarvis). 
Flammulina meraca, sp. nov. 
(Plate IIP, Figs. 19, 20, 21.) 
Shell small, very thin, subdiscoidal spire slightly elevated, base 
narrowly perforated. Colour pure white. Whorls three and a half, 
parted by deep sutures and rather rapidly increasing. Sculpture : 
The protoconch, of one and a half whorls, is finely spirally striated 
and ends abruptly, the adult shell is perpendicularly traversed by 
fine evenly spaced radial riblets, amounting on the last whorl to 
about two hundred, between the riblets are a few very minute 
radial threads. Aperture lunate-ovate, columella slightly ref ected 
Inner lip overlaid by a callus spread in advance over the riblets of 
the preceding whorl. Base rounded, umbilicus narrow, abou 
one-fifteenth of the major diameter. Height, 2 mm. ; map diam.. 
4 mm.; minor diam., 3 mm. . , , 
Habitat. — Dandenong Range, numerous specimens (Kershaw), 
and Fernshaw (Petterd). Type from the Dandenongs m the 
National Museum. . * , 
The novelty is nearest related to F. nivea, Hedley, from Kos- 
ciusko, which differs in the microscopic details of the sculpture, 
is more closely coiled, and has a sunken instead of an elevated spire. 
It is possible that this may be the species recorded from bern- 
shaw as Helix garthvi , Petterd, M.S. by Professor Tate.f 
* Hedley. Rec. Auslr. Mus., ii., 
f Tate. Trans. Roy. Soc., S.A., 
1896, p. 103, pi. xxiii, f. 2-4. 
iy. , 1884, p. 76.
