eae ISTORY. — Theba curtusiana was 
he first noticed by Geoffroy in 1767 
under the name of “La Chartreuse.” 
The binomial //elix cartusiana bestowed 
by O. F. Miiller in 1774 probably on account 
of its bemg found in the vicinity of a 
Carthusian monastery, is the latinized form 
of Carthusian, and the change to carthusiana 
made by subsequent writers was due to their 
impression that the letter 4 had been inad- 
vertently omitted by him. 
In 1803 Draparnaud mistaking the //. 
cantiuna Mont. for H. curtusiana applied 
to the true cartusiana the name of Helix 
carthusianella. 
In 1814 Mr. Gibbs discovered the species 
in Britain, and sent specimens to Colonel 
Montagu, who in mss. applied the name 
Helix gibbsii to them; but it was not pub- 
, ’ 
691 YY lished as a British species until 1820, when 
Baron Férussac recorded it as British in the 
Journ. de Physique as Helix gypsii, an evident misapprehension of gibbsi. 
With the present species [ am happy to associate the late Mr. Richard 
Rimmer, F.L.8., of Dalawoodie, Dumfries, and am fortunate in being able 
through the kind interest and sympathy of Miss M. Henriette Rimmer to 
present the accompanying characteristic portrait. 
Mr. Rimmer was an accomplished and enthusiastic conchologist, and 
the author not only of the popular manual “The Land and Freshwater 
Shells of the British Isles,’ but of several interesting special studies of 
the same subject, which appeared from time to time in the Journal of 
Conchology and other scientific magazines.
