23.  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.
