FAUNA OF GALASHIELS AND DISTRICT 201 



Family HELICID^. 



Helix rotundata (Miill.), common. 



Helix pygm^a (Drap.), found at Ellwyn ; very rare. 



Helix aculeata (Miill.), very scarce; only locality known is 

 at Ellwyn. 



Helix tulchella (Miill.). This pretty little Shell is very 

 local ; found in a field at Easter Langlee, on the rail- 

 way bridge at Leaderfoot ; and on the Abbey walls at 

 Dry burgh. 



Helix aspersa (Miill.), also very local; is only found in 

 Bridge Street Gardens ; no other known station nearer 

 than Roxburgh where it is very plentiful. 



Helix nemoralis (L.), very common on hedge banks every- 

 where. 



Helix hortensis (Miill.), not very common in this district; 

 Buckholm Tunnel and Melrose Road, near Oaklea. 



Helix arbustorum (L.), more plentiful than the last; has 

 been got at Buckholm Tunnel, Langhaugh, near Abbot's 

 Mill, and Galafoot. 



Helix rufescens (Penn.), found near Denholm. 



Helix jiispida (L.), moderately common; var. albida, found 

 at Oaddon Linns. 



Helix granulata (Alder), only three specimens have been 

 found at Ellwyn. 



Helix fusca (Mont.). The only station for this Shell is at 

 the foot of Blakeburn, where it enters the Ellwyn. It 

 is easily got by shaking the lower branches of the trees 

 into an umbrella, especially in the autumn. 



Helix caperata (Mont.), fairly common on trees near Joppa, 

 and on railway bridge at Galafoot; although not scarce 

 it seems not to thrive, as no perfect specimen has yet 

 been obtained, all having few or no markings on them, 

 and being without a lip. 



Family PUPID/E. 



BuLiMiNUs oBscuRUs (MulL), Buckholm Tunnel and Ellwyn-
