Geographical Distribution.— 7Theba cartusiana though especially 
southern and western in its distribution is represented in many european 
countries, but shows many of the characters of a retreating species, being 
quite absent from north-central Europe, but is found in England, Denmark, 
Holland, Belgium, Russia, Austria, France, Greece, European and Asiatic 
Turkey, Servia, Albania, Bulgaria, Ronmelia, Roumania, Italy, Spain, 
Portugal. Switzerland, Egypt, “and Palestine, and from the eastern and 
western regions of Germany. 
In the British Isles it is apparently restricted to a stretch of the South 
Downs, extending from Hampshire to Kent, and is found sporadically in 
East Anglia in the living state as well as fossil in the Holocene deposits. 
It formerly existed on the East Moors, near Cardiff, believed to have 
been imported with ballast, but it has also been found in the fossil state
