H. rufescens. Pennant. Very common. I find two distinct varieties ; one 

 of which is light coloured, nearly white, marked transversely with 

 reddish brown blotches, and has a white spiral band ; the shell is 

 thin, and usually very flat above. The other variety is decidedly 

 .stronger, dark brown with sometimes a reddish tinge, but not 

 marked transversely like the other, and generally destitute of the 

 ■white band. The spire of this variety is raised, though that of 

 some specimens is nearly as flat as the other variety. First var., 

 Grinsdale, Corby, Gatesgill, Bothel. Second var., Grinsdale, 

 Corby, 

 var. minor. Grinsdale.
