This fpecies feeras to be pretty generally difFufed, but 

 is rather fcarce in (ome fituations: it is found under mofs 

 at the roots of trees, or in the crevices of the bark, and 

 on old walls. 



Doftor SoLANDER had named it Turbo dolioliformis , 

 as Mr. Boys informs us. 



We have followed mod authors in quoting T. Mufco- 

 rum of the Britijh Zoology for this (hell, but cannot 

 help exprefling fome doubt, as the figure does not in the 

 lead reprefent it, but is more like Helix lubrica. 



G.MELiN has erred in quoting tab. i. fig. 6. of Schro- 

 eter's Erdconchylien I'ov a. variety of this, which he fays, 

 is furniflied with eight teeth. That fhell is perfeftly 

 diftinft, and is certainly our Turbo Juniperi. The viiif- 

 corum never has more than one tooth; and, as we be- 

 fore remarked, is as frequently without any. 



Fig. 8. tab. 2. Lister Anim. AnglicE which Gmelin 

 has referred to for this (hell, though with doubt, is cer- 

 tainly the Helix objcura. 



In company with this is fometimes found, what mufl 

 at prefent be confidered as a variety ; it is not above half 

 fo large, with the fame number of volutions, and is ex- 

 a6lly fimilar in (hape, but the aperture is not margina- 

 ted ; and is always deflitute of the tooth.
