HELICID^. 147 



in 1820; in 1821 I again noticed it in the Medical 

 Repository, under the name of H. bimarginata. 



Mr. Jeffreys thinks it probable that this species had 

 been introduced from France (Linn. Trans. 509.), 

 but I have seen it quite as common as H. virgata for 

 many miles of the south coast of England, from Dover 

 to Brighton ; and it must have been introduced some 

 years ago, as it was discovered by Mr. Gibbs in 

 1814. 



Mr. Jeffreys Considers his H. rujilabris Far. a to 

 be H. Olivieri of Ferussac, but this must be a mistake ; 

 for the latter is quite a distinct species, and not found 

 in England. It is imperforated : there are specimens 

 of it in the Museum collection.
