Soon after the return of the expedition, my friend, Mr. Broderip, to 
whose inspection Lieutenant Graves had submitted his collection, observing 
symptoms of life in some of the shells of this species, took means for 
reviving the inhabitants from their dormant state, and succeeled. After 
they had protruded their bodies, they were placed upon some green 
leaves, which they fastened upon and ate greedily. These animals had 
been in this state for seventeen or eighteen months, and five months 
subsequently another was found alive in my collection, so that this last 
had been nearly two years dormant. These shells were all sent to 
Mr. Loddiges’s nursery, where they lived for eight months, when they 
unfortunately all died within a few days of each other. Soon after 
the shells were first deposited at Mr. Loddiges’s, one got away and 
escaped detection for several months, until it was at last discovered in 
a state of hybernation ; it was removed to the place where the others 
were kept, when it died also. The upper surface of the animal when 
in health is variegated with ruddy spots and streaks on an ash coloured 
ground,
