Probable Range. HBS Recorded Distribution. 
BRITISH ISLES. 
Though probably inhabiting all the comital and vice-comital areas into 
which the British Isles have been divided, yet in England and Wales it 
has not been actually recorded from West Norfolk, South Essex, or Mont- 
gomery. ‘The record for the Isle of Man is on the authority of Prof. 
Forbes, who in his Malacologia Monensis, published in 1838, described 
this species as not common in damp shady places, but its occurrence there 
has never been confirmed. 
In Scotland, it is not yet recorded from the Hebrides or Easterness. 
In Ireland, although according to present knowledge chiefly restricted 
to the north, it probably exists in more or less sparsely scattered colonies 
throughout the country. It is actually known to inhabit Antrim, Armagh, 
Cavan, Donegal, Fermanagh, Londonderry, Leitrim, Sligo, and Westmeath, 
and has‘been recorded from Co. Down by Mr. ‘Thompson, from Dublin by 
Capt. Brown, from Killarney, Co. Kerry, by the Rev. Thomas Hincks, 
while specimens existed in the collection of the late Dr. W. H. Evans, 
collected by himself near Limerick. 
GERMANY. 
Diffused throughout Central and Northern Europe, and has been reported from 
Alsace, Anhalt, Baden, Bavaria, Brandenburg, Bremen, Brunswick, Cassel, Darm- 
stadt, Franconia, Hanover, Holstein, Lippe, Luneberg, Mecklenburg, Merseburg, 
Nassau, Oldenburg, East, West, and Rhenish Prussia, Pomerania, the Palatinate, 
Pyrmont, Reuss, Saxony, Schleswig, Silesia, Suabia, Thuringia, Waldeck, West- 
yhalia, Wurtembure, and the Isles of Rugen and Heligoland.
