the large colonies to be found in some districts. The most frequent 

 forms are ooooo and 00300. 



H. hortensis Muller. — More local than H. nenwralis and never 

 abundant. Malvern. Worcester (Reece). Evesham (Doeg). Earls 

 Croome. 



var. lutea Moquin-Tandon — Malvern. 



[Ena montana Drap. — Very rare. Only recorded from Dove- 

 dale, Blockley, by Mr. Uoeg, where it occurs on beech trees. Blockley 

 is a detached portion of Worcestershire surrounded by (jloucestershire]. 



Ena obscura Miiller. — Somewhat local. Malvern. Earls 

 Croome. Near W^orcester (Reece). Evesham (Doeg). 



Cochlicopa lubrica Miiller. — Widely distributed and generally 

 common. Malvern. Earls Croome. Near ^Vorcester (Reece). 

 Evesham (Doeg). Defford Common. Sarn Hill. Witley. Shrawley 

 Wood. 



Azeca tridens Pulteney.— Very local. Generally confined to 

 calcareous soil. Eaughton Hill. Near Worcester (Reece). Hamp- 

 ton churchyard (Doeg). Sarn Hill. " Acock's Green and Malvern 

 district" ("Victoria County History"). 



Caecilioides acicula Miiller. — Owing to the subterranean habits 

 of this minute species it is rarely obtained alive. I have obtained 

 half-a-dozen living examples at the bottom of flower pots sunk into 

 the ground in a strawberry bed at Earls Croome. Malvern (two 

 dead shells in garden). Near Worcester (Reece). 



Jaminia secale Drap. — Very rare and local. "Broadway and 

 Dovedale, Blockley" (Doeg). "Malvern district" ("Victoria County 

 History"). This last is probably an erroneous record. 



J. cylindracea DaCosta. — Widely distributed, frequently in large 

 colonies. Malvern. Earls Croome. Worcester. Evesham (Doeg). 



J. muscorum Linn^. — Local and rather rare. Defford Common 

 (Reece). Earls Croome. Boat Lane, Evesham (DoegV 



Vertigo antivertigo Drap, — "Malvern district" (Victoria County 

 History"). It is not represented in the Worcester Museum local col- 

 lection, and I can find no other records of this species. 



V. pygmsea Drap. — Apparently very local, but careful search 

 should reveal it in many other localities. Newpool copse, Malvern. 

 Earls Croome. Selly Oak ("Victoria County History"). 



V. pusilla Muller. — Very rare. In spite of constant search I have 

 only obtained five adults and one immature example, all within a 

 radius of a few yards. Earls Croome, in a rather dry copse consisting 

 mainly of elms.
