Avion ater L. 

 Agviolimax agresiis L. 

 Pyvavnidula vupesivis Drap. 



This species, though by no means restricted to calcareous 



soils, is characteristic of the limestone pavements. On the 



Hygromia rufescens Pennant. Associated with : — 



Vitrea nitidula Drap. 

 Helix hortensis Miill. (rare). 

 ,, nemoralis L. (locally). 

 Cochlicopa luhrica Miill. 



This species might at first sight appear to be universal, 

 but apart from the neighbourhood of gardens, and the influence 

 of such artificial habitats, its place would seem to be on the 

 margins of the Oak-Birch woods of a somewhat damp type, 

 occurring plentifully among the nettles and brambles. 



Vertigo alpest/is Aid. Associated species : — 



Vitrina pellucida Miill. Pupa cylindracea da Costa. 



Vitrea alliaria Miller. Vertigo piisilla Miill. 



Euconulus fulvus Miill. Sphyradium edentulum Drap. (rare). 



Hygromia rufescens Penn. Clausilia bidentata Strom. 

 Cochlicopa lubvica Miill. 



This species is characteristic of the marginal wood, and 

 while associated constantly with V. pusilla, it is evident that 

 its true place is here rather than in the Ash woods. Its centre 

 of distribution is further north. It is the Vertigo of the Lake 

 District, while T'. pusilla gradually disappears in that direction, 

 ranging further south, however, than V. alpestris. While 

 abundant in the Limestone area, it is even more abundant in 

 the Silurian region. It is thoroughly well distributed, and 

 where it occurs is found plentifully in damp situations on the 

 low mossy walls. 



Zonitoides excavatus Bean. Associated with Pyraniidula 



rotundata Miill. (Dominant), and : — 



Limax arborum B. Ch. | Vitrea nitidula Drap. 



Agriolimax IcBvis Miill. ' ,, crystallina Miill. 



Arion subfuscits Drap. i Euconulus ftdviis Miill. 

 Vitrina pellucida Miill. Punctum pygmesurn Drap. 



Vitrea cellaria Miill. Cochlicopa luhrica Miill. 



,, alliaria Miller. 



This species is characteristic of the purer Oak woods of 

 a somewhat damp type, and of which this association is typical. 

 It is, however, not so abundant in this district as it is in the 

 Oak woods of the Coal Measures in South Lancashire and 

 Cheshire, in which the characteristic flora is blue-bell, soft grass 

 and bracken.
