This is the pretty and common snail which spots the 
country hedges after a shower. It 1s remarkably 
abundant on sandhills by the sea, and it has a great 
partiality for chalk and limestone, but it does zo¢ often 
inhabit ‘ groves’ as its name would imply. 
In a wood near Dover, I have seen it climbing the 
trunks of large beech trees in company with HZ. dapicida
