“ 7; lucida, M.P!; pellucida, Pen., 184; Gualt.t.2, G. Testa 
pellucida, umbilicata, depressa, leevissima. 
‘“ Pellucid snail shell, about 2 of an inch long, exactly resembling 
the foregoing’ (H. ericétorwm, Mill.) “in figure, but quite smooth 
and glossy, and wholly without striz, marks, or bands. 
‘‘ Found on plants in the River Stour.” 
(Gualtieri’s figure, quoted above, appears to represent a roughly 
striate shell, somewhat high in the spire, with a distinctly expanded 
peristome, and his letterpress runs, ‘‘Cochlea terrestris umbilicata, 
minor, pellucida, flavescens.”’) 
Draparnaud’s description of his Helix lucida (1801) is as 
follows :— , 
“ H, lwcide. H. lucida. Coq. transparente, luisante, corné clair en 
dessus, blanchatre en dessous ; ouverture grande. 
“ Haut. 5-6 mill.; larg. 13-16; diam. 11-14. 
“ Helix cellaria, Mill., Verm. Hist. 230. Gualt. t. 2. £. G. 
‘Hf. commune dans les jardins, sous les haies. (5 tours). Animal 
pale, blanchatre, un peu grisdtre en dessus. Tentacules grisatres. 
Yeux noirs.” 
Miiller’s original description of cellaria is :— 
‘“‘ H, testa umbilicata, depressa, lutescente, nitida, subtus lactea. 
Apertura larga.”’ 
Pulteney’s H. lucida is probably synonymous with cellaria, Mill. ; 
but it is evident that, in using the same name and quoting the same 
figure as Pulteney, Draparnaud intended to allude to Pulteney’s 
species ; while his reference to Miller, whose description of cellaria 
he practically translates, shows that in his opinion lucida and 
cellaria were identical. The fact that in 1805 he rechristened his 
own H. lucida, nitida, and gave the name lucida to H. nitida, Miull., 
does not tend to simplify the matter. 
It appears from the foregoing that if the name lucida be allowed 
to stand at all, it should bear Pulteney’s name as author; but under 
the circumstances it seems preferable to consider lucida, Pult., a 
synonym of cellaria, and to follow the majority of Continental 
authorities in adopting a modification of Beck’s name, draparnaldi, 
for the present much-debated species.

obscurata, Porro in Villa, 1841; blawneri, Shuttl., 1843; fulgida, 
Parreyss, 1851; planulata, Stabile, 1864; septentrionalis, farine- 
stanus, and navarricus, Bgt., 1870; calabricus, Paulucci, 1879 ; 
gyrocurta, Bgt. in Servain, 1880; porrot, Paulucci, 1882; sub- 
farinesiana, Bgt.; barbozana, Castro; and intermissa, Locard, 1894.
