 MS." {Hlust. Conch. Brit., pi. xli, f. 80 & 81, with 

 syn. " Torchus terrestris, Mont.") has been quoted 

 for this genus, under the belief that Brown was 

 I figuring the Helix elegans of Gmelin. His figures 



I (possibly copied from Donovan) are, however, bad 



and like neither elegans nor fulva, to which latter 

 he refers them in his second edition. Brown's name 

 is, therefore, inadmissible. {Cf. Gude & Woodward, 

 Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist., Ser. IX, vol. viii, 1921, 

 p. 625.)]
