Soon after the return of the expedition, my friend, Mr. Broderip, to 

 whose inspection Lieutenant Graves had submitted his collection, observing 

 symptoms of life in some of the shells of this species, took means for 

 reviving the inhabitants from their dormant state, and succeeded. After 

 they had protruded their bodies, they were placed upon some green 

 leaves, which they fastened upon and ate greedily. These animals had 

 been in this state for seventeen or eighteen months, and five months 

 subsequently another was found alive in my collection, so that this last 

 had been nearly two years dormant. These shells were all sent to 

 Mr. Loddiges's nursery, where they lived for eight months, when they 

 unfortunately all died within a few days of each other. Soon after 

 the shells were first deposited at Mr. Loddiges's, one got away and 

 escaped detection for several months, until it was at last discovered in 

 a state of hybernation ; it was removed to the place where the others 

 were kept, when it died also. The upper surface of the animal when 

 in health is variegated with ruddy spots and streaks on an ash coloured 

 ground.
