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. dupuyana, Pfeiffer. (Chemnitz, Ed. 2nd, Helix, t. 124, f. 15, 16).  Locality:  Bellingen River, in the brushes (Macgillivray).

38.  H. pachystyla, Pfeiffer.  Locality:  Facing Island, Port Curtis; Dunk Island; Cape Upstart, at roots of bushes; Wide Bay, under bark of Eucalyptus resinifera (Macgillivray).  This fine species was originally recorded as a native of New Zealand; was not the supposed habitat a mistake?

39.  H. yulei, Forbes. (Voyage Rattlesnake, t. 2, f. 6).  Locality:  Port Molle (Macgillivray).

40.  H. iuloidea, Forbes. (Voyage Rattlesnake, t. 2, f. 4).  Locality:  Port Molle (Macgillivray).

41.  H. ptycomphala, Pfeiffer.  Locality:  Roots of trees among dead leaves at Cape Upstart (Macgillivray).

42.  H. dunkiensis, Forbes. (Voyage Rattlesnake, t. 2, f. 7.) Locality:  Dunk Island (Macgillivray).

43.  H. macgillivrayi, Forbes. (Voyage Rattlesnake, t. 3, f. 1).  Locality:  Frankland Isles (Macgillivray).

44.  H. franklandiensis, Forbes. (Voyage Rattlesnake, t. 2, f. 2).  Locality:  Frankland Isles and Lizard Island (Macgillivray).

45.  H. inconspicua, Forbes. (Voyage Rattlesnake, t. 2, f. 3).  Locality:  Islet in Trinity Bay (Macgillivray).

46.  H. brevipila, Pfeiffer. (Chemnitz, Ed. 2, Helix t. 124, f. 28-30).  Locality:  Under dead leaves at roots of trees in Sunday Island (Macgillivray).

47.  H. fraseri, Gray. (Beechey’s Voyage Zool. t. 38, f. 6).  Locality:  Wide Bay and Clarence River, New South Wales, in the scrubs (Macgillivray).  The true locality of this species—­first given by Beck—­is thus verified.

48.  H. gaertneriana, Pfeiffer.  Locality:  Night Island, on trunks and branches of a Bombax (Macgillivray).

49.  H. sericatula, Pfeiffer.  Locality:  Port Jackson (Strange).
