 Not uncommon in parts of Somersetshire and the neigh- 

 bourhood of Swansea : to be seen in hedges after showers of 

 rain. The variety, which exactly resembles some French 

 specimens of Draparnaud's carthusiana in my possession, 

 was presented to me by Mrs. Smith of Bristol, and was, I 

 believe, found by that lady in Gloucestershire. The inha- 

 bitants of this and many of its congeners have a dorsal line 

 or band, of a lighter colour than the rest of the body. It 

 corresponds with the circular lines sometimes observable on 

 the last volution of their shells. 



Local names should at all times be avoided ; but where, 

 as in the present instance, two such happen to be applied 

 to the same species, there can be no doubt of the propriety 

 of changing them.
