HELICIDA. eo 
Moll. of the Bristol district as having been found by Mr. T. 
Graham Ponton under stones on the Downs in 1863, and in 
Leigh Woods by Mr. Edwin C. Wheeler, but I am not aware 
that these records have been confirmed in recent years. It 
occurs in a subfossil state amongst earth from the rabbit bur- 
rows on the south side of Brean Down, Weston-super-Mare. 
Does it stil] exist there? I failed to find living specimens.

Remarkably abundant on the sand dunes between Weston

form and marking!

HELICELLA CANTIANA, Montagu (= Helix cantiana, Montagu). 
Locally abundant. Gwyn Jeffreys observed that it is “ not

HyGromia Fusca, Montagu. 
Very local. It was described by Mr. J.S. Miller of Bristol 
in the Annals of Philosophy (1822), under the name of Helix 
subrufescens. He remarked that he had found it not infre- 
quently in Somerset. Montagu was the first to recognise this 
species and described it in his Testacea Britannica, 1803.
