‘NOTES ON THE LAND AND FRESHWATER 
l MOLLUSCA OF VICTORIA. 
By Rev. W. T. Wuan, M.A. 
So far as I kerer this branch of natural history has not re- 
ceived much attention; but as I have access to few publica- 
tions on the subject, I write these notes with the view of 
eliciting information from collectors who may have came 
across some of our rarer mollusca. I 
I have now 22 species:—20 from Victoria and 2 from 
Western Australia, but all of them have not yet been identi- 
fied. The species in the following list have been identified by 
Charles Hedley, Esq., of Sydney, the others I hope to have 
identified shortly. 
Charopa retepora, Cox.—This is a pretty little shell of a 
light horn colour and beautifully ribbed. Mr. F. L. Billing- 
hurst, of Castlemaine, has kindly sent me specimens which he 
collected in the crater of Mt. Franklin. 
> Succinea australis, Férussac.—Vhis shell is found under 
moss, and is common at Port Fairy and all over the colony. 
I found it first on the sea coast and thought it marine, but it 
must have been carried down by water from adjoining land. 
Amphipiplea papyracea, Tate.—This shell has been col- 
lected by Mr. J. F. Bailey at Merrigum, and by Mr. Billing- 
hurst at Daylesford. 
Amphipiplea subaquatilus, Tate.—Stawell. Sent me by 
Mr. Billinghurst, elegant shell. 
Bulinus alicie, Reeve-—Found at Castlemaine by Mr. 
Billinghurst, and together with 4. papyracea was kindly given 
me by that gentleman. : 
B. cingulatus, Clessin.—This is a variety of B. aliciæ. 
My spécimens are from Roseneath, Casterton. They were 
found in stagnant water, andare smaller than B. alicie. 
u? B. tendystriatus, Tate.—Common. 
B. inflatus, Adams and Angas, Stawell.—A very hand- 
some shell, with large body whorl. It was collected by Mr. 
Billinghurst. 1 
B. lincolnensis, Clessin.—This shell I found in a swamp 
at Port Fairy, near the sea. 
B. pectorosus, Conrad, var. badius Ad., and Ang.— 
Abundant in the Glenelg Valley, at Argyle Station, Lindsay. 
Aso found by Mr. Billinghurst near Guildford.
