Geographical Distribution.—'he area over which this undoubtedly 
ancient species has become diffused is very wide, but its habit of frequent-

Fic. 197.—Geographical Distribution of Zonitoides nitidus Miiller 
in the Western Palearctic region. 
In the British Isles it is probably universally distributed in suitable 
localities, but examples have not been authenticated from further north 
than Easterness, although it has been recorded by Fleming from the 
Shetland Isles. 
Zonitoides nitidus is widely distributed over the whole of Europe, and 
has been reported from Algeria; it also ranges over Siberia, ‘Turkestan, 
and ‘Tibet, and was reported by 'lheobald from Cashmere. 
In the New World it is diffused over the whole northern continent from 
Alaska to Alabama, and has been transported by commerce to Australasia, 
where it has probably now secured a permanent footing.
