158 FARRER: MOLLUSCA OF THE ENGLISH LAKE DISTRICT. 
H. itala L.—This is another of the species introduced by my- 
self last summer, and now increasing in numbers. 
H. caperata Mont.—Commonly distributed throughout the 
district, and forming many vars., the most beautiful— 
var. fu/va—being often almost black. I have a scalari- 
form example from near Bassenthwaite Hause. 
H. virgata Da Costa.—This species I mention only from the 
fact that a large number introduced by the writer in August 
of last year quickly became the prey of birds, and I still 
find many dead and broken shells about the hedgerows, 
but I do not think there can be many left alive. 
Buliminus obscurus (Mill. ).—Not common, excepting where 
the lime crops up, although I have taken a fair number at 
Keswick and Bassenthwaite at the roots of furze bushes 
after a rain; also at Piel Wyke, Grasmere and Ambleside. 
Pupa anglica (Fér.).—In woods throughout and amongst 
moss on the banks of the mountain streams. In the latter 
locality the shells are very black and solid. 
P. cylindracea (Da Costa). —Very common on walls and 
under stones. A few on the Parsley fern on Skiddaw 
summit. One specimen taken with a trifid tooth. The 
var. albina is very common on the white-washed portion of 
a wall at Keswick, the type only on the portion not white- 
washed, which fact is a very strange one indeed. Vars. 
curta and edentula also occur with the type. 
Fairly plentiful at Keswick and 
Vertigo antivertigo (Drap.). 
near Lodore. A few on dead reeds at Little Tarn, Bassenth- 
waite, and half-a-dozen specimens at Ambleside 
V. moulinsiana (Dup.).—I have only taken four specimens 
of this species at Friar’s Crag, Keswick, and have to thank 
Mr. J. W. Taylor, of Leeds, for kindly identifying them for 
me. I may say the specimens were in a living state when 
taken.
