Succinea tomentosa, Pfeiffer, P.Z.S., 1854, p. 297; M.H.V., vol. 4, 
p. 814 ; vol. 5, p. 33, No. 108. 
Shell oblougly-couical, thin, covered with downy hairs, not shining, 
pellucid, pale horny; spire conical, acute; whorls 3, the second convex, 
the last three quarters of the entire length of the shell, attenuated at 
the base; columella sub-callous, slightly plaited, arcuated; aperture a 
little oblique, sharply oval, somewhat incumbent; peristome simple, 
rather expanded. 
Length, 8 ; diam., 5 ; height, 3§. Aperture, length,.6 ; breadth in 
the middle, 4 mill. 
Hab., New Zealand (Strange). 
Helix, Linnaeus. 
Shell umbilicated, perforated, or imperforate; discoidal, globosely 
depressed or conoidal; aperture transverse, oblique, lunar, or somewhat 
rounded; margins distinct, remote, or united by callus. 
“ Animal with a long foot, pointed behind; lingual teeth usually in 
straight rows, edge teeth dentated.”—(Woodward.) 
HELIX (PARYPHANTA) BUSBYI, Gray. 
11dix Busbyi, Gray, Ann. Nat. Hist., vol. 6, p. 347; Pfr., M.H.Y., 
vol. 1, p. 109; vol. 5, p. 48, No. 1. 
Shell broadly umbilicated, depressed, sub-discoidal, opaque, white, 
covered with a thick, glabrous, shining, deep-green coloured epidermis, 
which overhangs the peristome; spire flat, sub-rugose; whorls 4J, slightly 
convex, the last smooth, deflexed anteriorily, depressed; umbilicus 
broad, perspective; aperture obliquely lunate-oval, within shining- 
blue; peristome simple, indexed throughout. 
Diam., greatest, 66 ; least, 53 ; height, 29 mill. 
Hab., New Zealand. 
HELIX (PARYPHANTA) HOCHSTETTERI, Pfeiffer. 
Helix Hochstetteri, Pfr., M.H.V., vol. 5, p. 48, No. 2. 
Shell umbilicated, depressed, slightly solid, irregularly plaited, and 
somewhat granulated by impressed, close, oblique lines, viscidly 
shining, fulvous, ornamented above with thickly-set, undulating, chest¬ 
nut-coloured lines ; spire scarcely elevated, with the crown thin, obtuse; 
whorls 54, slightly convex, the last depressedly-rotundate, sub-angulated 
at the periphery, irregularly hollowed beneath, more shining, bound with 
broader chestnut-coloured bands; umbilicus moderate, oblique, not 
pervious ; aperture very oblique, lunar ; peristome somewhat inflexed, 
straight, anteriorly sub-membranaceous, margins joined by a white callus. 
Diam., greatest, 65; least, 56 ; height, 28 mill. 
Hub., Limestone Mountains, New Zealand (Hochstetter). 
The structure of this shell evidently resembles that of the //. Busbyi, 
from which, however, it differs in the depressed form,—in the whorls
