The Naturalist. 



H. arbustormn. Near Fairburn, on nettles which had been mowed, in 

 company with Cantiana riifescens, and variety hyhrida of Nemoralis. 



H. cantiana. Abundant in all the hedges, both moist and dry, in all 

 stages of growth. Apparently the commonest of the Helices. 



H. rufe8cen8. Frequent. 



H. pulcJiella. On a wall near Milford. 



H. Mspida. Common ; many greyish in colour and very hispid, 

 apparently intermediate between Mspida and sericea. A few are 

 rufous, and destitute of hairs. 

 H. Mspida^ var. nana. 

 H. caper ata. 



H. ericetorum. On a high bank at Newton lime quarry. All the 

 adult shells I saw were dead ; the young were suspended beneath 

 blades of grass. 



B.. rotundata. 



Pupa marginata. 



Clausilia rugosa. 



Zua lubrica. 



Z. Ivhrica. var. lubricoides. 



I saw no Relix liortensis, and H. aspersa seems to be confined to 

 gardens and old walls near houses. The soil here is red, lying on 

 red sand or clay. 



Lofthouse, Wakefield.
