8. Endodonta (Charopa) Sterkiana, Sut., var. Reeftonensis, Sut. Five 
specimens, slightly larger than the type, but otherwise not distinguish- 
able from it. This variety is very probably distributed over a great part 
of the South Island, since it has been found at Greymouth and Spring- 
burn ; but it seems nowhere to be common. 
9. Laoma (Phrixgnathus) celia, Hutt. Six specimens, typical. 
10. Laoma (Phrixgnathus) phrynia, Hutt., var. mayor, n. var, 
Fourteen specimens of this new variety were found. They differ from 
the type principally in their much larger size, the diameter being 
3°5mm., as against 2°5; the periostracum is almost smooth, but the 
rather distinct radiate riblets are clearly visible near the suture, 
only rarely extending thread-like over the surface of the whorl to the 
periphery. The colour is darker than in most specimens of the 
type-form. 
11. Rhytida australis, Hutt. Three bleached and broken shells, 
Our knowledge of the land-molluscan fauna of Stewart Island has 
thus made some progress, eleven instead of only four species being now 
known. There is no doubt that a thorough exploration of this island 
would reveal many more species, and very likely several new forms.
