176 PNEUMONOBRANCHIATA. 



Inhab. under decayed wood, and timber that has 

 lain some time on the ground. 



Animal lead-coloured. 



Shell about one quarter of an inch in diameter ; 

 it very much resembles Z. lucida, but may be dis- 

 tinguished from it by its greater convexity both above 

 and below, and by its peculiarly large umbilicus ; the 

 whorls are also rather more convex and more closely 

 set, and the outer whorl is not so large in proportion 

 to the rest; the striae are rather stronger, the animal 

 lighter coloured, and it frequents a different situation. 

 The Shell varies in being paler.
