INDEX TO THE LAND SHELLS OF VICTORIA. 
Genus Laoma, Gray, 1849.

Id., Monog. Austr. Land Shells, 1868, p. 21, pi. xi ., f. 13. 
Id., Tate, Trans. Roy. Soc., S.A., IV., 1882, p. 7 6. 
Laoma morti, Petterd and Hedley, Rec. Austr. Mm., VII., 1909,

Flartvmulina retinodes, Tate, Horn Exp., II., p. 187, p. xvii., f. 4. 
Habitat. — Mount Eliza (Pritchard), Jan Juc (Kershaw). 
Professor Tate has quoted other Victorian localities, hut since 
that of Melbourne (on the authority of Petterd) refers to L. mucoides, 
we regard them as uncertain. 
Laoma mucoides, Tenison Woods. 
(Plate II., Figs. 9, 10, 11, 12.) 
Helix mucoides, Tenison Woods, Proc. Linn. Soc., N.S.W., III., 
1879, p. 125, pi. Hi., f. 5, 5a. 
Id., Tate, Trans. Roy. Soc., S.A., IV., 1882, p. 75. 
L. mucoides is closely related to L. m,orti, Cox, in form and sculp- 
ture, and has in the past been mistaken for it. L. mucoides has an 
extra whorl, and is larger, darker, and more solid. In L. morti the 
radial lamellae are better developed. One of Tenison Woods’ type 
specimens here figured is 2 '8 mm. maj . diam., 2 '35 mm min. diam., 
and 1-35 mm. in height. The type locality is Melbourne. 
Laoma penolensis, Cox. 
Helix penolensis, Cox, Proc. Zool. Soc., 1867, p. 724. 
Id., Monogr. Austr. Land Shells, 1868, p. 8., pi. xi., f. 12. 
Helix pictilis, Tate, Proc. Linn. Soc., W.$.1F., II., 1878, p. 290. 
Laoma pictilis, Petterd and Hedley, Rec. Austr. Mus., VII., 1909, 
p. 294, pi. Ixxxvi., f. 35-37. . 
Cape Northumberland, the type locality of H. pictilis, is but a 
short distance from Penola, where the type of H. penolensis was 
found. Professor Tate distinguished II. pictilis from the Penola 
shell by “ its coarser ribbing, its colouration, and the presence of 
transverse striae.” The first and second characters aie variable, and 
we find that the type of H. penolensis in the Cox collection has micro- 
scopic spiral striae. So that II. pictilis may be safely reduced to a 
svnonym of II . penolensis. 
Found at Port Fairy, by the Rev. W. T. Whan ; near Melbourne 
and at Oberon Bay, Wilson’s Promontory, by Mr. J. A. Kershaw; 
at Lome, by Dr. G. B. Pritchard. 
Genus Flammulina, von Martens, 1873. 
Flammulina excelsior, Hedley. 
Flammulina excelsior, Hedley, Rec. Austr. Mus., II., 1896, p. 103, 
pi. xxiii., f. 2-4.
