Art. XXIX.—Further Contributions to the Molluscan Fauna 
of New Zealand. | | 
By Henry Suter. 
Communicated by Captain Hutton, F.B.S. 
[Read before the Philosophical Institute of Canterbury, 5th November 
1895.) : 
In volumes xxiv. and xxv. of these Transactions I published 
lists of the land and fresh-water shells found at various places 
in this colony. More material having accumulated in my cq): 
lection, I now wish to publish some additional lists, thus help- 
ing to enlarge the knowledge of the geographical distribution 
of some of our Mollusca, which is still very far from satisfac- 
tory. Most of our land-shells being minute or small, and 
living concealed in the bush under logs, stones, dead leaves, 
bark, &c., during day-time, it is not astonishing that much 
remains to be done in the way of collecting, and that new 
are still turning up when a careful search for shells is 
made. 
I.—Mount Wellington Lava-fields, Auckland. 
_ In volume xxiv. of the Transactions, pp. 277, 278, a 
list of shells from this locality was given, collected by Mr. 
C. Musson. Last summer I had a couple of hours collect- 
Ing on these lava-fields, and found the following additional
