HYGROMIA HISPIDA. 27 
In the Lower and Mid Pleistocene beds he cites it from Oberweiler, Sulzburg, 
Steinbach, and Oos, in Baden; from Oppenheim, Weilburg, and Wiesbaden, in Hesse 
Nassau ; from Frankenhausen and Sondershausen, Thuringia; Priesa, Meissen, 
and Dresden in Saxony; from Passau, Bavaria; also at Nidda and Geisnidda in 
the Niddathal. 
It is recorded by Herr von Ihering from tufa of Streitberg and Ober Zaunsbach, 
Franconia; and by Hesse from calcareous tufa and peat at Pyrmont. 
France —The var. depressula is recorded by Dumont and Mortillet from Grande 
Chartreuse and other places in Istre, and from Mont Cenis, etc., in Savoy. 
The sub-var. depressa Pascal is recorded by Pascal from Puy, Haute-Loire; and 
from the environs of Paris; the sub-var. depressa Germain as being quite gregarious 
about Angers, Maine-et-Loire ; and the sub-var. putonii is quoted from the Vosges 
by Clessin. 
The sub-var. feni is rather common in France, and is specially recorded from 
about Angers, Maine-et-Loire, by Germain ; and from the Meuse by Cardot. 
Dr. Germain records it as common in the fossil state in the loess about Lyons ; 
and Jodot from the tufa of Celle-sous-Moret, Seine-et-Marne. 
The sub-var. ealcica is only known in the fossil state, and is from the quaternary 
deposits near Lyons. 
The sub-var. decora was found on a species of Carex in the Forest of Hez, Oise. 
Belgium—The sub-var. putonii reported by Dr. Westerlund ; and a ‘very flat” 
spired variety is recorded from Grez in Brabant by Raeymaekers and Loé. 
Sweden—The sub-var. gyrata is recorded from Sweden by Dr. Westerlund. 
Denmark—The sub-var. plana is recorded from Soro, Zealand, by Steenberg; the 
sub-var. gyrata is found at Klint, Isle of Moen.

The var. globulosa D. & M. is described as of an elevated, globose, and nearly 
trochoid form, with a narrow umbilicus. 
The sub-var. subglobulosa of Locard is somewhat globose, clear horny yellow, 
and varies from 6-7 mill. in diameter. 
The sub-var. econica Baudon is globose in shape, spire conical. Diam. 7 mill. ; 
alt. 5-6 mill. The sub-var. conica Jeffreys is described as shell smaller, spire more 
raised. The sub-var. conica Clessin has 5-63 whorls, the last expanded. Diam., 
8 mill.; alt., 5 mill. 
The sub-var. subeonieca Watt. is small, globose, conoid, whorls quite convex, 
thin, glossy, and without hairs in the adult, and links the variety with the type. 
The sub-var. eonoidea Broeck is conoid and very elevated. 
The sub-var. liberta is narrowly umbilicate, and sparingly hirsute, or even 
smooth above. Diam., 6-7 mill. ; alt., 4-5 mill. Though in recent years this form 
has been frequently referred to H. sericea Drap., yet such allocation was especially 
deprecated by its author Dr. Westerlund. 
The sub-var. septentrionalis Clessin is described as possessing a narrower 
umbilicus and a more elevated spire. Diam., 9 mill. ; alt., 4 mill. 
The sub-var. falsani is distinguished from the type by its somewhat more 
globosely-elevated form and more distinct sutures. 
The sub-var. perforata is relatively smaller and more globose, and is more 
narrowly umbilicate than the type, of a horny-fawn colour, with a broad whitish 
peripheral band, and is intermediate between H. hispida and H. sericea. 
The vars. globosa, subglobosa, and alta Germain also probably belong here.
