Ohs. A very large and remarkaljle shell, of which a much decorticated example 
was obtained by the late Mr. James Smith. It is now living around Port Curtis and 
Rockhampton. It is a depressed discoid, and very solid shell, with a scarcely pro- 
minent spire ; four or five quickly-increasing whorls, the last being very wide and bluntly- 
keeled, and sudiienly deflected in front. The umbilicus is very large and open, so as to 
form what Mr. L. Reeve calls “ a wide perspective basin,” this being one of the chief 
characters of the shell. The fossil has a diameter of three and three-quarter inches.

Ohs. The suh-fossil form very closely resembles the figures of Reeve. It is a 
depressed-globose umbilicated shell, with a convexly-conoid spire; whorls are six in 
number, the last large and well-rounded, and the columellar margin reflected and 
nearly covering the umbilicus. The shell is finely preserved and encrusted with 
stalagmite. , ■ ,rm i

Ohs. This is an openly umbilicato, depressed-globose thin shell, with a rather 
raised spire ; there are six and a-half flattened whorls, the last descending in front. 
The columellar margin of the aperture is triangular and dilated, half concealing the 
umbilicus. H. Whartoni is found around Port Denison. The shell is finely preserved 
in the fossil.

Ohs. H. Parsoni is described by Dr. Cox as a globose- conical shell, with an 
obtusely conical round spire, and a deep open umbilicus; whorls seven, convex; the 
suture margined with a distinct white line; the ‘last whorl produced and deflected in 
front, and the base flattened. The aperture is ovately lunar, with a slightly thickened
