IdrtiMX agrestis, L. Very common. In gardens, woods, and hedgerows. 



I have observed it crawling about during a mild winter. Stanwix, 



Grinsdale, Wetheral, Blaithwaite, &c. 

 L. Icevis, Mull. Rickerby ; upon dead leaves on the damp ground near the 



beck. 

 L. maximvs, L. Not so common as L. agrestis. I have taken it in the 



greenhouse and cellar, as well as in woods. Stanwix, Wetheral. 



Fam. Helicidm. 



Succinea inttris, L. Common and abundant. Ditch near the Water Works; 

 Wreay ; Gelt ; and very small ones in a pond at Blaithwaite. 



S. pfeifferi, Rossm. ; var. parviila, Pascal. I found some small specimens of 

 Succinea adhering to wood at the edge of Eickerby Beck which 

 answered to the description of 8. pfeifferi in Turton's "British 

 Shells. " The shell is much smaller than that of S. putris, and 

 pearly in the interior ; and the spire is less produced than that of 

 S. elegans. I forwarded the shell to Mrs. Fitzgerald, who kindly 

 determined it to be S. pfeifferi, var. parvula. 



Vitrina pellucida, Mull. Generally distributed ; but the individuals are not 

 numerous. Dead specimens are more abundant than live ones. 

 Stanwix, Wreay, Sandysike, Blaithwaite, Patterdale. 



Zonites cellarius, Mull. Not so common as L. nitidulus, but generally dis- 

 tributed. The commonest form is small and very flat above, and 

 may be the var. complanata, Jefifr. Stanwix, Grinsdale, Wetheral, 

 Wreay, and Gelt, 

 var. albida. Rare. Wetheral and Stanwix. 



Z. alliarius, Miller. Generally distributed. The presence of this shell can 

 generally be detected by the strong smell of garlic it emits. 



Z. glaber, Studer. This snail was first discovered in this country by Mr. 

 Thomas Rogers of Manchester, in 1870. Dr. Gwyn Jeffreys recorded 

 it as British in the Annals and Magazine of Natural History in 

 May of that year ; and also states that he had previously found it 

 at Grasmere, but had overlooked it. I found some snails at 

 Wetheral which I thought were this species, so I forwarded them 

 to Mr. Rogers, who kindly identified them as L. glaber. I believe 

 this is the first record of L. glaber being found in Cumberland. 

 Mr. Rimmer, in his "Land and Fresh-water Shells," says that it 

 has a wide range, and that he has found it both in Devonshire and 

 Dumfriesshire. 



Z. nitidulus, Drap. Very common, and widely distributed. It may be 

 found in nearly every hedgerow, bank, and wood. Very plentiful 

 on the rockery in our garden ; Stanwix, Wetheral, Wreay, Grins- 

 dale, Blaithwaite, &c.
