By J. C. Cox, M.D., and C. Hedley, F.L.S. (P lates I., II., III.) At the invitation of theD irector of theN ational Museum, Melbourne, wo have undertaken a brief survey of the land shells of Victoria. Material from theN ational Museum and from the private collection of Mr. J. A. Kershaw has been confided to us. We have also drawn upon the resources of the Cox collection and of the Australian Museum, Sydney. Previous studies on the Tasmanian land shells by the late Mr. W. F. Petterd and one of us, formed a suitable introduction to the present task. But little attention lias yet been paid to the land molluscan fauna of theS tate. Recently Dr. T. S. Hall wrote, As to our land and fresh water mollusca, again, we in Victoria are sadly in the dark. Collecting has been done in the south-west of theS tate, but the rest is a blank. }A lthough the search has not been exhaustive and several species doubtless await discovery, sufficient has been done to show that Victoria is poorer in land shells than other parts of A ustralia. Professor Tate, in discussing this remarkable paucity, suggested that A deluge of igneous mass must have destroyed terrestrial forms of life over the greater part of the southern region of Victoria. JP robably the first conchologists toW ork in Victoria were the naturalists of the A strolabe, who, in 1826, visited Western Port and found Helicarion cuvieri andS uccinea australis. In 1868, but five species, including two lately collected by Mr. Gr. Masters, were recorded from Victoria, in Dr. Cox sM onograph of Australian Land Shells. A few more species have since been added by desultory collecting. In the earliest paper written exclusively on the molluscs of Victoria, Mr. Maplestone observed the scarcity of land shells around Melbourne. In 1884, Professor Tate published a list and general discussion of the land shells. It was his intention to comp(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
