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?"

It is recorded from the West lndies and Brazil, Java, the Seych.e.l.les and Mauritius, and Bengal and China! This is the first announcement of it as an Australian sh.e.l.l. Does it make its way about on floating timber?
