Cochlea cinerea albidave, fasciata, ericetorum, List. An. Ang. 126 — H. 
ericetorum, Mutl. Verm. ii. 33. — H. albella, Penn, Brit. Zool. iv. 132. 
— H. er. Mmt Test. Brit. 437. — Sunny banks. 
Shell about f ths of an inch in breadth ; white, or whitish with’^dark brown 
bands, or brownish with whitish bands ; the upper band of the body whorl 
seen along the separating line of the preceding ones. Mouth rounded exter- 
nally, the lips approaching internally. 3 or 4 whorls visible in the pillar ca- 
vity. Animal with a pellucid foot, tentacula clavated ; body dusky. The 
shell figured by Lister, Conch, t. 78. f. 78, and so generally referred to this 
species, is surely widely different. 
63. H. virgata. — Whorls 6, rounded, a little produced ; pil- 
lar cavity in part covered by the lip. 
Cochlea alba, leviter umbUicata pluribus fasciis circumdata, clavicula 
productiore. List. Conch, t. 59. f. 56. — H. zonaria, var. a. Penn. Brit.

variabilis, Drap. Moll. 84. — Maritime pastures and dry banks, Eng- 
land and Ireland. 
Breadth about half an inch ; colour whitish, with brown bands, the upper 
one |on the body whorl continuing along the separating line to the apex. 
Mouth wide at the pillar margin ; peristome brown, with a white thread-like 
elevation ; pillar cavity a little contracted by the lip, exhibiting only one vo- 
lution. This species is very common on the limestone rocks in the neigh- 
bourhood of Cork. 
64. H. cantiana. — Shell with 6 rounded, wrinkled, volutions, 
inner lip in part closing the pillar cavity. 
Cochlea dilute rufescens, var. List. An. Ang. 126. Mmt. Test. Brit. 
422. t. 22. f. 1.— H. pallida, Dm. Brit. Sh. t. 157. f* 2. 2. Woods and 
hedges, England and Ireland. 
Breadth nearly an inch. Margin rounded with a whitish band ; the base 
of the shell and mouth rufous ; the thickened peristome white. One whorl 
only visible in the pillar cavity. 
65. H. r'lJ^escens . — Shell with 6 rufous, rounded, whorls, 
subcarinated on the margin, pillar cavity large. 
Cochlea dilute rufescens, List. An. Ang. 125, Conch, t. 71 . lower fig. 
H. hispida, Mull. Verm. ii. 73. — H. ruf. Mmt. Test. Brit. 420 Un- 
der stones and moss, common. 
Breadth upwards of half an inch ; spire little elevated ; brown, covered 
with numerous short hairs ; finely striated by the layers of growth ; mouth 
rounded externally, rather narrow at the pillar, where the lip is a little re- 
flected , pillar cavity large, rounded, exhibiting two or three volutions. Ani- 
mal dusky. 
66. H. hispida. — Shell thin ; pale coloured ; whorls five, 
rounded ; pillar cavity with steep sides. 
Mmt. Test. Brit. 423. t. xxiii. f. 3. Drap. Moll. 103. — Among moss in 
England and Scotland. 
Breadth about Jth of an inch ; it is covered with minute short hairs ; spire 
but little raised ; aperture lunate, rather contracted in the middle ; the lip 
a little reflected on the cavity, within which, one or two volutions are visible. 
The shape of the mouth and pillar cavity, and the absence of a subcarina, dis- 
tinguish this species from the young of 7'ufuscensy with which it has very fre- 
quently been confounded.
