(*) Shell depressed, subconic, not so glossy as H. cantiana, 

 whitish-horn colour, with a white spiral band just above the

 suture rather deep ; mouth crescent-shaped with a white internal

H. rufcscens. 



(k] Shell suborbiculate, depressed, thin, yellowish-brown, epi- 

 dermis covered with fine white recurved hairs arranged in spiral 

 lines ; whorls six to seven, convex, the body-whorls occupying 

 one-third of the shell ; spire blunt, slightly raised ; aperture 

 crescent-shaped ; umbilicus narrow, deep. Height ^th inch. 

 Among moss, and under stones, etc., in shady places. Common. 



H. hispida. 



(/) Like H. hispida but larger, less globose, hairs more liable 

 to fall off; umbilicus wider. Height \ inch. In similar situations 

 to the last. Common. H. concinna 



(m) Shell subglobular, thin, dark brown or pale grey, marked 

 with a few faintly-marked brown streaks, epidermis covered with

 raised ; v. albida, thin, white or colourless.
