GASTEROPODA. HELICIDZ. 71 
The longitudinal bands often interrupted, or composed of irre- 
gular ragged and confluent spots. It is sometimes entirely of 
a reddish-brown or fuscous colour, with whitish longitudinal 
bands. The apex of the common varieties is sometimes black- 
ish, which has given to the species the common appellation, 
black-tipped snail. 
Teba caperata is very common in the vicinity of Plymouth, 
and on the borders of Dartmoor. It is found likewise in Kent ; 
near Lackham, in Wiltshire; on the dry granitic districts of 
Cornwall ; at Tenby ; and sparingly in the south of Ireland. 
It inhabits dry and hot situations. Its animal is very variable 
in colour. 
7. TEBA HISPIDA. 
T. testa elevata, tenui, lutescente, pellucida, hirsuté ; umbilico 
parvo. 
Helix hispida, Linn. Syst. Nat. xii. i. 1244 ; Mill. Verm. Hist. 
268; Mont. Test. Brit.423; M. and R. Trans. Linn. Soc. 
vil. 198; Flem. Edinb. Encycl. vii. 79; Drap. Hist. des 
Moll. 103. pl. 7. fig. 20; Dill. Desc. Cat. 915. 
Habitat in humidis, passim. 
Shell elevated, pellucid, inclining to luteous, fragile, hairy. 
Longitudinal diameter three-eighths of an inch. 
Teba hispida inhabits moist places, and is found under stones 
or amongst moss. It appears to be a local species; but is by 
no Means uncommon in the woods that skirt Dartmoor, and in 
the vicinity of Kingsbridge in shady places. It is found like- 
wise near Penryn, in Cornwall; near Lackham, in Wiltshire ; 
near Bristol and Swansea; and in Rivelstone Wood, near 
Edinburgh. 
The umbilicus, which is very small, will at once distinguish 
this from all the preceding species. The hairs are of a whitish 
colour, and are formed by elevations of the Epidermis. 
Colour of the animal greyish, or ash-grey. Eyes black. 
Tentacula generally of a darker colour, rarely brown. 
The tentacula are rather more slender in this than in any 
other British species that I have examined.
