species) which occur on walls or rocks is much more 

 frequently smooth than that of specimens found on 

 trees, and consequently I infer that the partial absence 

 of striae is due to the friction created when the 

 animal trails its shell along the hard surface of the 

 stones. In the 'Scottish Naturalist* for July, 1872, 

 Dr. Grant Guthrie states that this species occurs on 

 Ben Lawers, in Perthshire, at an elevation of 2400 

 feet.
