jeffery: the mollusca of western SUSSEX. 317 



Balea perversa. Common on mossy stems of beech trees and 

 on moss-covered walls. 



Clausilia rugosa. Common. 



C. Rolphii. A very local species : plentiful in restricted areas 

 about Up Park, and has been found at Racton. 



C. laminata. Common in beech woods on the chalk. The 

 variety albida is occasionally met with. 



Cochlicopa lubrica. Common in damp situations. The var. 

 hyalina is found, but not numerously. 



Achatina acicula. Rare: Mr. Haines has found a few empty 

 shells near Woodend. 



Referring to this species the Rev. H. Housman in 

 a little work recently published by him, entitled "The 

 Story of our Museum," writes: "There was lately 

 discovered near Chichester what appears to be an early 

 British burying-ground. Many skeletons were found 

 . . . The bones, which lay about three feet below 

 the surface, were infested with Achatina acicula.'''' 



Carych i u m minimum. This minute species is no doubt often 

 overlooked, but appears to be generally distributed in 

 damp situations, under timber, &c., and amongst 

 decaying leaves. 



Cyclostoma elegans. Numerous on the Downs, about plan- 

 tations and hedgerows extending to about \\ miles from 

 the foot of the Downs on dry banks.
