 a. minor, albida, striata, subcarinata.

 ginat^. 



Common under stones &c. in shady places. The var. a. 

 is found in moist willow grounds, and may be a distinct 

 species. /3. is not uncommon on the Swansea Burrows, at 

 the roots of the Rosa spinosissima. 



I do not think that Draparnaud's hispida has ever been 

 found in this country : ours, which is that of Miiller, Da 

 Costa, and Donovan, and probably also of Linnaeus, is the 

 Helix conspurcata of Continental writers, and constitutes a 

 variety only remarkable for its more depressed form, and 

 the dark irregular blotches or spots which are often ob- 

 servable on the surface. The spots are noticed by Miiller, 

 and originate in the mantle of the animal. 



19- Ericetorum. 



Animal albido-griseum. Sustentaculum, tenue, pellucidum.
