This attractive species is widely distributed in Ireland, and is 
found on the decaying leaves and fallen branches of trees, in moss, 
and under stones in shady and generally mofst situations. I first 
met with it in Sept. 1833, in the Glen at Holywood House, county 
Down, and soon afterwards in various localities throughout this 
county and Antrim; about O’Sullivan’s cascade at the lower lake of 
Killarney, I had the gratification to find it in June 1834, and subse- 
quently in the Glen of the Downs, county Wicklow. By the Rey. 
B. J. Clarke it has been obtained at La Bergerie, Queen’s county, 
and by the Rev. T. Hincks of Cork, at Dunscombe Wood near that 
city, and likewise at Ballinhassig Glen between Cork and Bandon. 
Mr. Hincks remarks that the species appears to be far from uncom- 
mon in that district. 
The following note relates to my most successful capture: April 
30, 1837.—In Colin Glen (near Belfast) during an hour’s patient 
search today, I collected from amongst a mass of the dead leaves of 
trees contained within the area of a square foot, twenty-one full- 
grown individuals of Helix lamellata, and about half this number of 
younger specimens ; both shell and animals of these latter are lighter. 
coloured than the old, indeed almost hyaline, and the lamelle are 
apparent on the very youngest, which also exhibit the satin-like 
lustre of the adult. The mature animal is white beneath; the ten- 
tacula, back and sides greyish black ; lower tentacula of moderate 
length, upper long and somewhat club-shaped. 
In Auchairne Glen near Ballantrae, Ayrshire, I obtained this spe- 
cies in August 1839.

This would seem to be a very local species with us. By Mr. W. 
H. Harvey I was in 1838 supplied with specimens, accompanied by 
a note, stating that the species had occurred to him in “ moist 
places, and the rejectamenta of streams about Limerick and Ballitore, 
(county Kildare).” At the same time Mr. Humphreys, of Cork, re- 
ported it to me as found, but not commonly, at “‘ Belgrove demesne, 
east of Cove.” 
12. Helix sericea, Muller*. Gray, Man. p. 153. pl. 11. f. 134. 
In the rejectamenta of the river Lagan near Belfast, I have ob- 
tained specimens corresponding with those favoured me by Mr. Al- 
der under this name. ‘This shell is, in general form, size of umbi- 
licus, &c. intermediate between H. hispida and H. granulata, but
