jeffery: the mollusca of western SUSSEX. 3x3 



quantity of very watery slime on being captured. It is 

 common among the beeches at the back of the Good- 

 wood race stand. Has not been noticed in Sussex by 

 other observers. 



Limax maximus. Common. 



Testacella has not been recoided in Sussex, but is numerous in 

 a garden at Newport, Isle of Wight, as many as 200 

 having been counted in one evening. 



I turned down in my garden half-a-dozen specimens 

 sent me thence a year or more ago, but have seen 

 nothing of them since until I found a quarter grown 

 young one last September. It is also found in other 

 gardens at Newport. 



Succinea putris. Common and generally distributed in suitable 

 situations. In some localities the animal is of a light 

 yellowish colour, in others nearly black. 



S. elegans. Found in Hayling Island. 



Vitrina pellucida. Local but plentiful where it occurs. 



Zonites cellarius. Common. 



Z. alliarius. Generally distributed but not numerous. 



Z. nitidulus. Fairly distributed. 



Z. purus. Common, but nearly all belong to the variety 

 margaritacea. 



Z. radiatulus. I find this snail on my lawn at the roots of 

 grasses, clovers, &c., in company with Helix pidchella; 

 also in pastures but not plentifully. 



Z. nitidus. I took some specimens of this snail near Ratham 

 some years ago, but have not met with it recently, the 

 ground having been drained. 



Z. excavatus. Found a single specimen near Midhurst in 

 1 88 1. Mr. Borrer also records a single specimen from 

 St. Leonard's Forest (Zoologist, 1878).
