 commonly upon fome of the hills in the fbuth of Devon- 

 JJiirc, efpecially about Stanborough and WooLcomb, a- 

 mongft the niort flunted herbage of the barren pafture 

 land. It is alfo rarely met wiih in Cornzoall; but the 

 fined and largefl are found in ilie barrack-yard of 

 George* s-Square, at Plymouth Dock, againft the wall 

 facing the fouth; fo hot a fituation in fuuimer, that 

 fcarce any other fpecies is ever found. 



We have alfo received it from Kent, of a light cine- 

 reous colour, with fo little appearance of bands ov fafcice, 

 that it might readily have been miftaken for a dilHncl 

 fpecies, was it not for the llrong, regular ftria?, which, 

 amongft the Britijfi Helices, feems to be confined to this 

 and the radiata. Mr. Boys favoured us with this Ihell, 

 by the name of Apex-niger, by which it was known to 

 Doclor SoLANDER, and placed as fucli in the Portland 

 cabinet.
