Found in woods, plantations, and under hedges, 

 amongst moss, leaves, and stnnt's, yet, owing to the 

 dull and dirt-like appearance «'/" the sliell, it is difficult 

 to observe. It is most abundaui after rain. 



Mr. Jeflreys, of Norton House, near Swansea, in- 

 forms us that it feeds on the Jnnyermannia ylatyphylla. 

 In this neighbourhood it is nmst abundant on fallen 

 boUy leaves, on which it also doubtless feeds. 



There are ouly two localities near Nottingham where 

 it has as yet been found, viz., Highfield House, where 

 it is abundant, and Stauton-on-the- Wolds, where it 

 is rare. 



Specimens have been sent from Penzance by Mr. R. 

 T. Milleit, from Scarborough by Mr. V\. Bean, and 

 from Newcastle by Mr. J. Alder ; they do not differ 

 from those found near Nottingham.
