3. H. pomum, Pfeiffer. (Phil. Icon. Helix, t. 2. f. 8). Locality: Port Essington, about roots of trees (Macgillivray). This appears to be H. sphaeroidea, Le Guillou (H. urvillei, Homb. et Jacq. Voyage au Pole Sud. Moll. t. 3, f. 1-3) of which Pfeiffer remarks, "an varietas praecedentis?" 24. H. janellei, Le Guillou. Locality: North Australia. 25. H. leptogramma, Pfeiffer. Locality: Cygnet Bay, in North Australia (Ince). 26. H. incei, Pfeiffer. (Phil. Icon. Helix, t. 7, f. 3). Locality: Percy Isles, under bark; Port Molle, and Keppel's Isles, in hollow trees (Macgillivray). 27. H. prunum, Ferussac. (Hist. t. 26, f. 7, 8). Locality: Australia ? 28. H. pelodes, Pfeiffer. (Chemnitz, Ed. 2nd, t. 58, f. 6, 7). Locality: Port Essington, on trunks of melaleuca trees (Macgillivray). 29. H. pedestris, Gould. Locality: New South Wales. 30. H. similaris, Ferussac. (Hist. t. 25 B, f. 1-4). Locality: Under decaying logs in the Frankland Isles, chiefly dead (Macgillivruy). This species appears to be most widely diffused. It is recorded from the West lndies and Brazil, Java, the Seychelles and Mauritius, and Bengal and China! This is the first announcement of it as an Australian shell. Does it make its way about on floating timber? 31. H. delessertiana, Le Guillou (H. torresii, Homb. et Jacq. Voyage au Pole Sud. Moll. t. 4, f. 24-27). Locality: Warrior Island, Torres Strait (Le Guillou, etc.) Nogo Island, Endeavour Strait, at roots of grass (Macgillivray). 32. H. gulosa, Gould. Locality: New South Wales. 33. H. tuckeri, Pfeiffer. (Chemnitz, Ed. 2nd, Helix, t. 79, f. 10-12). Locality: Under dead leaves at roots of trees in Sunday Island (Macgillivray). The original recorded habitat was Sir Charles Hardy's Islands, where also Mr. Macgillivray round it in 1844. As Pfeiffer suspects, H. cyclostomata of Le Guillou (H. strangulata, Homb. et Jacq. Voyage au Pole Sud. Moll. t. 6, f. 1-4), is this species; from Warrior Island, Torres Strait. 34. H. cunninghami, Gray. (Griffith, An. Kingd. t. 36, f. 4). Locality: Darling Downs, New South Wales (Macgillivray); brushes near Wide Bay (Strange). 35. H. taranaki, Gray. (Chemnitz, Ed. 2, t. 75, f. 4, 5). Locality: Possession Island, Torres Strait (Ince). The following are not enumerated as Australian in the first edition of Pfeiffer's Monograph: 36. H. strangei, Pfeiffer. Locality: At Brisbane Water, New South Wales, under logs in the brushes (Macgillivray). 37. H
