 shell, slightly striated ; thin peristome, which is not 

 reflexed ; spire scarcely raised. Six convolutions. 

 Colour dirty-white, banded with yellowish brown. 



Diameter four-fifths of an inch. In this neighbour- 

 hood the largest specimen obtained measures three- 

 quarters of an inch in diameter. 



The colour of the animal is pale green. 



Mr, Bridgman has sent me specimens without any 

 coloured bands. [They appear to be the H. obliterata 

 of Hartmann.] I have since found this variety near 

 Bath, amongst limestone rocks, in a rabbit warren. 



According to M. Bouchard Chautereaux, it begins to 

 lay eggs in July, and continues to deposit them until 

 November, laying from 40 to 60 at a time, which are 

 hatched in three weeks, and fully grown in eighteen 

 months. 



Inhabits dry heaths and open fields, especially in 

 calcareous districts.
