Show 322 MR. J. BRAZIER ON RECENTLY DESCRIBED SHELLS. [Apr. 18, tralia. Mr. Sowerby unfortunately places Botany Bay ou the southwest coast. Since I obtained the two specimens that Mr. Sowerby mentions, I have obtained six more at the Bottle-and-Glass Rocks, Port Jackson. The animal at present I have not examined. 2. HELIX (TROCHOMORPHA) FESSONIA. Helix (Trochomorpha) fessonia, Angas, Proc. Zool Soc. 1869, p. 626, pl. 48. fig. 7. Trochomorpha transarata, Mousson, Journal de Conch. 1870, part i. p. 121, pl. 7. fig. 1. Hab. Kantavu, Fiji Islands, on trees (Brazier) ; interior of Viti Levu, or Great Fiji (Graffe). 3. HELICINA (TROCHATELLA) TECTIFORMIS. Helicina tectiformis, Mousson, Journal de Conch. April 1, p. pl. 8. fig. 7. Helicina mangoensis, Sowerby, Proc. Zool. Soc. April 28, 1870, p. 250. Hab. Mango Island, Fijis (Brazier). I presume that this species, described by M . Mousson, was also obtained at Mango by Graffe. 4. HELICINA PLICATILIS. Helicina norfolkensis, Pfeiffer, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1856, p. 391 ; Pfr. Mon. Pneu. Vivent. suppl. 1, p. 189, and suppl. 2, p. 220 ; Sowerby, Thes. Conch, vol. iii. p. 292, figs. 373 & 374. Helicina plicatilis, Mousson, Journal de Conch. 1865, p. 178. Hab. Upolu, Navigator's Islands ; found inland on trees (Brazier). No Helicina has been found on Norfolk Island up to the present time, and the locality given to this species by the late Mr. II. Cuming is incorrect. I visited that island seventeen years ago, and a second time only six years ago. There are only two operculated species found on it, Palaina coxi, H. Adams, and Omphalotropis ceres, Pfr. 5. COLUMBELLA (MITRELLA) ANGASI. Columbella interrupta, Angas, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1865, p. 56, pl. 2. figs. 9 & 10. Hab. Shark Island, Port Jackson (coll. Brazier) ; York's Peninsula, South Australia (Mr. G. F. Angas) ; Hobart Town, Tasmania (W. F. Petterd). Mr. Gaskoin described a Columbella interrupta in Proc. Zool. Soc. 1851 ; as the species described by Mr. Angas requires a fresh name, I have called it after him. |
