136 HELICID^. 



and Hanlerj, B. 31. iv. 69. — Helix bispida. Gilbertsoii, 

 MSS. B.M. 



Inhab. woods (?), north of England. 



Animal greyish, marbled with black. 



Shell subglobular, three tenths of an inch in dia- 

 meter, dark brown, thin, pellucid, with a very obscure 

 whitish central band, giving it a rather keeled ap- 

 pearance, covered with a brown periostraca with 

 distant elongated hairs ; umbilicus rather small 

 (partly covered with the front of the lip), only 

 showing the last whorl but one. 



Mr. Alder, who first noticed this species in England, 

 observes, " It is difficult to say whether or not this is 

 the H. sericea of Muller, I having introduced It as 

 such on the faith of Baron de Ferussac. I leave it 

 Fig. 39. for further investigation." 



This shell varies from dull reddish to nearly 

 pure translucid white. 



Mr. Kenyon gave the accompanying figure 

 as II. sericea of Draparnaud. (fig. 39.) 



This shell is thinner, more globular, and with the 

 umbilicus smaller than //. hispida; of a darker colour, 

 and with the apex more depressed than H. granulata. 



54. 21. Helix hispida. Bristly Snail. — Shell 

 slightly convex, a little carlnate, striolate, trans- 

 parent, horn-coloured; periostraca hairy, with 

 crowded bristles ; umbilicus moderate, deep ; 

 mouth roundish lunate, (t. 4. f. 41.)
