Newtimber and between Brighton and Lewes. The only locality 
off the chalk in which | have found it is Flexham Park, near 
Petworth.—B. Not uncommon in the vicinity of Uppark.—W. 
Coghurst Wood, Hastings (H), and in the neighbourhood of 
Brighton, where, however, it is considered rare (M). It is generally 
found in damp situations in woods amongst dead leaves and moss, 
and under nettles and Mercurialis perennis, as well as on the 
trunks of trees. 
Azeca tridens. The Glossy Trident Shell.—May be regarded 
as a link between Bulimus and Clausilia. Very local; amongst 
moss on the sides of bushy valleys of the South Downs, and 
occasionally in woods near the South Downs. Abundant in a 
valley near Dalegate, in the parish of Newtimber.—B. Found 
occasionally in the neighbourhood of Uppark in company with 
Zua lubrica.—W. 
Zua lubrica. The Common Varnished Shell. — Abundant 
under stones and leaves; at the bottom of walls and posts 
where sheltered by herbage; and amongst the roots of grass in 
meadows. 
Mr. Gwyn Jeffreys places this and the last-named species in the 
same genus, Cochlicopa, notwithstanding their very different 
structure. Azeca tridens has the mouth furnished with teeth and 
folds, the outer lip notched and the inner lip thickened. Zua 
lubrica possesses exactly opposite characters. 
Achatina acicula. The Needle Agate Shell.—Under chalk on 
the South Downs; often buried some inches below the surface, 
and may be mistaken at first sight for a little white maggot, the 
shell being long, thin and cylindrical, and rather smooth. It 
is not uncommon on the hills around Hollingbury Camp, near 
Brighton, and on Clayton Hill, one of the South Downs range.—B. 
Also at the foot of East Harting Down.—W. It is probably local 
rather than rare, aud seems to be confined to localities where the 
soil is calcareous. 
Fam. CARYCHIIDA. 
Carychium minimum. ‘The Little Sedge Shell—May be looked 
for at the roots of grass and other plants, and amongst moss in 
damp situations. In winter it may be discovered in the hollow 
stems of the larger umbelliferous marsh plants. From its very 
minute size, being one of the smallest of our lund shells, a careful
