Lane, at the roots of nettles, and under stones at the foot of walls. 



Being in doubt about the identification of this species, we submitted 

 specimens to Mr. J. W. Taylor, who verifies them as dniparncildi. 



Hy. cellaria (Miiller). — -Common, found with previous species, 

 " Finest at Hele ; some lovely (albino) specimens with the Testa- 

 celte"(J.R.B.T.). 



Hy. alliaria (Miiller). — Not common; Berrynarbor Road, Rap- 

 paree Lane, with cellaria and draparnaldi. " Hele, Combe Martin, 

 Bittadon" (J.R.B.T.). 



Hy. nitidula (Draparnaud). — Sparingly with cellaria. Mr. Tomlin 

 says " equally common with H. cellaria,^'' but this was not our 

 experience. 



Hy. pura (Alder).— "At Hele and Combe Martin" (J.R.B.T.). 



Helix rotlindata (Miiller). — Fairly common under stones, at 

 roots of nettles, and among decaying hedge-trimmings. 



Var. alba (Moq.).— This variety predominated at Hele, as re- 

 corded by Mr. Tomlin. " Elsewhere the variety never occurred," 

 but the shells were not " oi the extremely fine size" he mentions, 

 having evidently deteriorated in this respect, the largest not measur- 

 ing more than six millimetres in diameter. 



H. aculeata(Muller).— Woolacombe, Hele Bay (J.R.B.T). 



*H. pulchella (Miiller). — Scarce; one dead shell on wall near the 

 harbour. "Occurred only twice on the cliffs between llfracombe and 

 Lee (Torr's Walk)" (J.R.B.T.). 



H. aspersa (Miiller). — Type shells abundant in the hedges and 

 stone walls in nearly all parts of the district, with few varieties. 



Var. nigrescens (Moq.). — Two specimens of this variety found 

 at foot of a wall among coarse grass. Both type and varieties were 

 very thin, and approached the form teniiior (Shuttl.). 



H. nemoralis (Linne). — Not abundant, but appearing to exist in 

 small colonies in favoured localities, especially in hedges and walls, 

 where the growth of ivy is thickest. Most of the shells were thin (as 

 were H. aspersa and H. hortensis), semi-transparent and very beauti- 

 fully coloured and banded. They occurred in the following places : 

 (i) Berrynarbor Road (from Hele) ; (2) Combe Martin Road (beyond 

 Hele) ; (3) New Barnstaple Road ; (4) Torr's Walk (towards Lee). 



Var. rubella (Moq.). — 00000 (scarce), 00300 (the commonest 

 form except the type), 00300, 0030,5, O2334 : The majority of these 

 three forms are peculiarly mottled with red and white, and the third 

 band is in most cases superimposed on a broader whitish sub-band, 

 which gives the shells a very beautiful appearance (localities i, 2, 3, 4, 

 above).
