Bothrienibryon glauerti sp. iiov, 
Plate IL, %. 24. 
A very distinct form belonging to the indutns series, but easily distin- 
guished by its shape, the very short spire and the swollen body whorl, which 
is more than two-thirds the bulk of the shell. There is a gios.sy green perio- 
stracum which .shows the eharaeterislie "indultm'’ growth stages in darker 
relief. The a|)e.x is elevated, and the incurved earliest iiorliou i.s coarsely 
anastomosely wrinkled, a coarse irregular pitting succeeding, with finally a 
fine wrinkling striae forming; with a strong lens this sculpture can be traced 
on the body whorl, and more notably on tlu' earlier whorls, suiisutural wrink- 
ling being [iresent. The columella is twisted, white, a white glaze crossing 
the body whorl, the aperture within being bluish white, the outer lip thin; 
there is no umbilical fissure left, the shell appearing imperforate though in 
the very juvenile stage a small chink may be noted. The tj’pe measures 
38 mm. in length by 22 mm. in breadth, the length of the body whorl lieing 
30 mm. and that of the aperture 21 mm. The locality is Stirling Ranges, 
which is included in the 20 to 25 inches annual rainfall belt.

Thiele described a very immature s| ecimen which appears to be a repre- 
sentative of a very large series collected by Mr. Sidney W. Jackson many 
years ago in the karri foresLs at Nornalup Inhd., Deep River, which has a 
rainfall of 35 to 40 inches annually, which is tlu' same as at Toi'bay. The 
Denmark shells are here described, and if these should lie later |)roien dis- 
tinct, as Thiele’s figure is not e.xactly agreeable they may be called franki 
suggested by Mr. Jackson. 
Shell largo, elongate, narrow, spire and aperture about equal, latter 
oval, columella slightly thickened, approssed, commonly closing umbilicus, 
but very rarely this may be I’etained as a chink. Coloration varying from 
straw to dark brownish yellow, streaked with darker brown, especially along 
the growth lines. Sometimes the juveniles are uniform straw, at others dark 
chocolate; again shells may be found bearing a broa<l dark band above the 
perijihery, a form of coloration semi in the shells from the Recherche Archi- 
pelago, forms of rhndoslomus. When the shell rests the outer lip edge is 
darkened and tins |>rovides the dark growth streaking, a feature of all the 
indutrs series. The ape.x is elevated, niinuli'ly wrinkling sculptured, the 
wrinkles fading into growth ridge.s, the whorls showing no distinct separa- 
tion but succeeded by a fine concentric lining which never becomes jirominent 
and soon disappears. The growth lines are flattened so that they are more 
notable as colour streaks than ridges, and the faint concentric lines can only 
bo seen with a lens, the body whorl appearing smooth. Length (type of 
franki) 40 mm., breadth 21 mm., length of aiierture 20 mm. These” shells 
are found in hazel scrub up high on hazel trees and h'aves, up to 40 feet on 
the limbs.
