Inhabits the neighbourhood of Paris. Geoffroy. Saxony. 

 Schroeter. Great Britain, frequently about the roots of Ju- 

 niper bushes, Montagu. 



Shell about a quarter of an inch long, and nearly half as broad, 

 of a dull brown colour, with eight flatlish whirls, which are well 

 defined by the suture ; the aperture has a marginated reflected 

 white border, with three teeth on the outer, and four on the 

 pillar-lip. Lg Grain d'Avoine is described to be only two 

 lines long, but in other respects it answers, and I have no 

 doubt of its belonging to the present species ; Chemnitz, on 

 the other hand, has made his figure rather too large. 



MUSCORUM. 151. Shell ovate, obtuse, pellucid,

 gin, and nearly toothless.

Bulimus Doliolum. Bruguiere Enc. Meth. p. 351. 

 Le grand Barillet. Geoffroy, p. 57. t. 2. 

 Inhabits most parts of Europe, under moss at the roots of 



trees, or in the crevices of the bark, and on old walls. 

 Shell rather more than one-eighth of an inch long, and about 

 one-third as broad, of a yellowish or whitish brown, or horn- 

 colour ; it has commonly six whirls, of which the four low- 

 ermost are nearly of the same size ; the aperture is generally 

 toothless, but the pillar-lip is sometimes furnished with a 

 single tooth. Bulimus Doliolum appears, from the de- 

 scriptions of Geoffroy and Bruguiere, to differ only in having 

 eight whirls, and ia being nearly twice as large.
