Var. viridans CkIl. 
YNGLAND AND WALES.

Hyalinia alliaria (Miller). 
1912 Polita alliaria Connolly, Ann. South Afr. Mus., vol. xi., p. 59. 
Geological History.—-//. wiliaria has been found in the Holocene 
old surface-soil at the base of a grave of early Romano-British age in 
Stanley’s Quarry, Ightham, West Kent, and in the deposit near Carrick- 
namoyla on the Isle of Inishbofin, off the coast of West Galway, Ireland. 
In Mid-west Yorkshire, Mr. J. W. Jackson has found one specimen in a 
hill-wash of probably Neolithic age at Clapdale, Clapham. 
Erroneously recorded as found plentifully with human remains at Stoke 
Courcy, South Somerset, in 1907, by Mr. H. St. George Gray. 
Variation.—The variability of this species in Ireland has been discussed 
by Mr. A. W. Stelfox, who remarks that in some old woods, especially in 
the south-western districts, a smaller, more narrowly umbilicated and more 
conical shell is often found, which contrasts greatly with the larger, duller 
and flatter western form living in more exposed situations, which he thinks 
inay be referable to the var. anceps of Westerlund, a native of Sweden. 
Its altitudinal range, according to the observations of Mr. A. W. Stelfox, 
extends in Western Mayo to a height of 1,500 feet, but on the Dingle pen- 
insula in Kerry it attains the summit of Brandon Mountain, which rises to 
a height of 3,127 feet above the sea. 
Geographical Distribution.—'his species is as yet far from being 
correctly understood, and its range will be no doubt materially increased 
as its distinctive characters become more generally recognized. 
Several of the comital and vice-comital areas in the British Isles, from 
which it was previously apparently absent, have been added to the list of 
the inhabited districts; the Scottish one—North Aberdeen—by the aid of 
a government grant for the investigation of the northern range of our 
land mollusca. 
Its foreign distribution has also been increased by the knowledge of its 
presence in East Prussia and Suabia. 
FRANCE. 
Bouches-du-Rhone—The occurrence of this species in the delta of the Rhone has 
recently been established by Mr. B. KR. Lucas. 
Basses Pyrénées—M. Granger records it from Bayonne and St. Jean de Luz. 
SCANDINAVIA. 
Denmark—It is reported from Skaritso and Viborg, Jutland, by Mr. Sell ; and 
Steenberg records it as widely distributed but rare in East Jutland and upon the 
islands. 
Iceland—Mr. I’. H. Sikes reports it from Isafjordr and Hafnafjordr on the north- 
west coast. 
ETHIOPIAN REGION. 
Cape Colony—Major Connolly records the occurrence of this species at Grahams- 
town, on the authority of Mr. Farquhar.
