SUNKLANDS OF PORT PHILLIP BAY AND BASS STRAIT 
107 
Johnston (1880) records a fossil species Helix simsoniana 
(John.) from the Helicidae Sandstone, a member of the dune 
series in the Kent Group, and probably formerly extending to the 
Furneaux Group. Spencer (1893) records Bothriemhyron gunnii 
(Sow.) as “a fossil found on Kent Island and in the yellow lime- 
stone of tiobart.” B. gunnii is a living arborescent species found 
near the sea clustering on small trees and shrubs generally on 
sandy ground or hillocks a little above high water mark. Charopa 
diemenensis (Cox), Laoma penolensis (Cox), and Succinea aus- 
tralis (Ferr.) are also found in the Helicidae Sandstone. The first 
two are found in Victoria on the Southern fall; the third is 
“subacquatic living in damp places, near the margins of streams” 
(Try on 1883).
