Caecilioides acicula (Miiller). — An uncommon species, but 

 abundant where it occurs. " Have found great abundance, amongst 

 a variety of shells brought down by the floods in the River Avon at 

 Lackham " {^Buccinum terrestre, Test. Brit., p. 249). Avebury 

 (E.W.S.); " in decaying bulbs of tulips at Salisbury. The dead shell 

 is frequent " (Vize). 



Jaminia secale Draparnaud. — Frequent on the Downs through- 

 out the county, especially under stones beneath juniper bushes. 

 " We first found it, very sparingly, on an old mossy wall at Easton 

 Grey in Wiltshire, ten or twelve years ago, and never since till lately, 

 when w^e discovered considerable abundance at the roots of juniper 

 bushes on the sides of the hills, near Devizes" {=Turbo juniperi. 

 Test. Brit., p. 341). Great Bedwyn (Townsend) ; Devizes (Miss 

 Cunnington and others) ; Ascombe and Durnford (Vize) ; Edington, 

 Maiden Bradley and Mere (E.W.S.) ; Marlborough (Bromehead). 



Jaminia cylindracea (DaCosta). — A very local species. 

 Salisbury (Vize); Devizes (Miss Cunnington and Vize); Stourton 

 and Edington (E.W.S.). 



Jaminia muscorum (Linne). — Locally abundant. " In great 

 abundance among the rejectamenta of the River Avon, after floods, 

 about Lackham, probably washed from the neighbouring meadows " 

 (= Turbo sexdenlatus, Montagu in Test. Brit., p. 337, which was 

 referred to this species by Jeffreys). Brickearth at Fisherton 

 (Blackmore); Salisbury (Vize); I have taken it at Edington and 

 Devizes ; in the latter locality it has been taken by Mr. C. D. 

 Heginbothom and others. 



Vertigo anti vertigo (Draparnaud). — Rare. It is probable that 

 many of the Vertigines are more generally distributed than the records 

 would indicate ; they often escape detection through their minute 

 size. Stratford-sub-Castle, near Salisbury (Vize) ; Edington (E.W.S.). 



Vertigo substriata (Jeffreys). — Very rare. Specimens from 

 Roundway Hill, Devizes, may be seen in Miss Cunnington's 

 Collection at the Devizes Museum. The Rev. J. E. Vize also 

 records it from this locality. 



Vertigo pygmaea (Draparnaud). — Apparently a very rare species. 

 The only Wilts, station at present known is the banks of the Kennet 

 and Avon canal at Trowbridge (Vize). It is frequent in East 

 Somerset. 



Vertigo angustior Jeffreys. — Very rare. The only locality I 

 can find mentioned is that given (under Turbo vertigo) by Montagu 

 "Rarely amongst the rejectamenta of the River Avon in Wiltshire" 

 (Test. Brit., p. 364). 



Balea perversa (Linne). — Local. Montagu vaguely remarks
