11. with a thin, pellucid, horn-coloured fhell, with 

 five or fix fpircs : has much the habit o^ Helix paluflris, 

 but not half the fize, and the volutions rounder, more 

 deeply divided, and the aperture not fo oblong: is alfo 

 more generally flender, and rarely has any tranfverfe 

 wrinkles. Length three-eighths of an inch ; breadth not 

 one half its length. 



This fpccies is not uncommon in mod parts of the 

 kingdom, in moid places, particularly in muddy ditches, 

 drams, and water-courfes, which are frequently dry, in 

 which cafe the animal periflies ; for though it is more 

 amphibious than any other fpecies we are acquainted 

 with, yet it cannot exi'i without moifture; it is, how- 

 ever, more frequently found at the edge of water, than in 



it.
