 occurs. Always in damp situations. Corsham and Salisbury (Vize) ; 

 Amesbury and Salisbury, amongst sedges on the banks of the Avon 

 (E.W.S.). 



Huconulus fulvus (Miiller). — Common throughout the county 

 in damp places, Montagu, describing it as Helix trochiformis in 

 Test. Brit., p. 427, remarks that " it is a rare shell ; we first observed 

 dead specimens amongst the drifted sand in the river Avon in Wilt- 

 shire ; and afterwards found it sparingly alive in Lackham Wood in 

 the same county." Stourton, Edington and Amesbury (E.W.S.); 

 brickearth at Fisherton (Blackmore); Swindon (Cockerell) ; Devizes

 find it most frequently on Greensand soil. It is common in the pine-

 alteriiius." Banks of the Avon at Salisbury and Edington (E.W.S);
