In moist beech woods, among decayed leaves, and 

 on the bark of trees. 



Animal pale; tan tacles club-shaped. (Mont, Sturm.) 



Shell five eighths of an inch long, and a quarter 

 of an inch wide, deep chocolate-brown varying to 

 light grey, conically elongated; spire consisting of 

 seven slightly raised but well-defined volutions end- 

 ing in a rather acute point, irregularly and obliquely 

 striate longitudinally, and when magnified having 

 the appearance of a shagreen-like roughness ; aper- 

 ture oblong-oval, with the peristome chocolate- brown 

 and reflected, forming an umbilicus behind the 

 pillar. 



The shell varies considerably in size and ventri- 

 coseness; also in colour, being sometimes whitish 

 horn-colour, and semitransparent, arising, as in other 

 varieties of the kind, from a disordered state of the 

 animal, preventing the secretion of the colouring and 

 chalky matter. 



This species, though not uncommon on the Con- 

 tinent, appears to have been first described by 

 Colonel Montagu, who received it from the south 

 of England.
