Abstract

When Woodward classed the terrestrial mollusks of Tasmania,
with those of Australia, south of the tropic, but little
was known of them. At the time he wrote the number of
described species of Helix was six, two of which have since
proved to be identical, and two others doubtfully Tasmanian,
thus reducing the number to three.
