1. Cyclostoma elegans. Occurs plentifully on dry banks in a 

 chalky soil. 



2. Bithinia tentactilala. Common in our running streams. 



3. Valvata piscinalis. As the last-named. 



4. Vitrina pellucida. 



5. Zonites cellarius. 

 G. Z. nitidulus. 



7. Z. lucidus. 



8. Helix aspersa. Far too numerous in our gardens. 



9. H. hortensis. Generally distributed. Numerous in most of our 

 hedge-rows in the lowlands, and several varieties occur, including a 

 clear yellow and a pink, both destitute of markings. 



10. H. nemoralis. Found on the downs amongst juniper-bushes 

 and furze. A pink-coloured banded variety is sometimes found in 

 woods, but is not numerous. 



11. H. obvoluta. Have not yet met with this species in a living 

 state, but have found untenanted shells on a chalky bank near the 

 downs. 



12. H. lapicida. Found in tolerable plenty on the stems of beech 

 trecr. We have no rocks. 



13. H. caperata. Generally distributed, but not numerous. 



14. H. virgala. Plentiful on the chalk downs, but there it attains 

 no great size, seldom exceeding three-eighths of an inch, while in the 

 lower and cultivated ground it reaches three- fourths of an inch in 

 diameter. The only variety is a dull creamy-coloured shell, with the 

 purple lip distinct. 



15. H. ericetorum. Also pretty numerous on the downs ; as a rule, 

 of small size, but in certain parts growing to nearly an inch in 

 diameter. 



16. H. cantiana. In this district our most common shell ; every 

 hedge abounds with it. Clear white examples have occurred to me, 

 though rarely. With Helix carthusiana I am unacquainted, and do 

 not think it is to be found in this immediate locality, although it is 

 given as a Sussex species. 



17. H. rufescens. Common in gardens and hedge-rows. 



18. H. hispida. Is found sparingly on dry banks. I am in doubt 

 about a species which I find in plenty in some marshy meadows: it 

 appears to me a higher shell (more raised) than H. hispida, rather 

 thicker in substance and more glossy in appearance, is generally 

 depilous, but the young would seem to be hairy : whether it will
