of 1. hispida, we must distinguish the ordinary very his- 
pid form, and perhaps we cannot do better than adopt 
Mousson’s name, Azspidosa.” 
This common shell is found throughout the British 
Isles as far north as Cantire. Though very few official 
records exist for Ireland it will doubtless prove a common 
species there, and it is so certainly in the north. 
It is found in moist hedge-banks, at the roots of grass, 
and on decaying vegetation among moss, &c., having the 
same proclivities and habits as H. rufescens. I think it 
may be stated that wherever HZ. rufescens is found there 
will #7. hespida be found also, though the converse is by 
no means true.
