DESCRIPTIONS of NEW LAND SHELLS. 
By C. Hedley, Conchologist. 
(Plate xi.) 
PUPISOMA CIRCUMLITUM, 71. Sp. 
(Plate xi., figs. 1, 2, 3.) 
Shell globose conical, perforate, thin, translucent. Colour an 
uniform pale tawny olive. Whorls three and a-half, well rounded ; 
suture impressed. Sculpture, — everywhere the whorls are crossed 
by fine, close, raised hair lines ; at irregular intervals these tend 
to rise into lamella?, which latter can scarcely be detected in pro- 
file on the periphery ; the embryonic shell is similarly sculptured, 
no trace of spiral sculpture can be seen ; a break at the completion 
of the second whorl suggests that here ends the nepionic shell. 
Umbilicus minute, funnel shaped, showing only the preceding 
whorl. Aperture very oblique, ovate lunate, lip simple, columellar 
margin broadly reflexed over the umbilicus ; callus thin, trans- 
parent. Height, 1*9 ; breadth, 2 mm. 
Type . — Australian Museum C. 3459. 
Hab . — Received through Mr. C. E. Beddome from Dr. May, 
who gathered it oil trees at Bundaberg, Queensland ; also collected 
on orange trees near Grafton, N.S.W., by myself. 
This snail conceals itself by plastering the shell over with grains 
of earth, etc., entangled in mucus. The device reminded me of 
the European Balea perversa , which adopts the same habit in 
similar situations. Occasional abrasions seem to show that the 
colour resides in a very thin epidermis. 
I have not the advantage of being autoptically acquainted with 
any of the known Pupisoma , but the novelty corresponds so closely
