Charpent, 
On dry banks^ and under stones in hilly places, 
especially near the sea. 
Animal yellowish ash, warty above, foot thickish. 
Shell seldom half an inch in diameter, and a quar- 
ter of an inch high, rather depressed ; the larger vo- 
lution sloping to a somewhat carinate edge in the 
middle, with regular deep transverse striae ; colour 
dull yellowish white, with regular brown bands, which 
are often interrupted, and the tip black; aperture 
crescent-shaped, as long as it is broad, with the mar- 
gin thin and not reflected over the umbilicus, which 
is large and deep. 
Like the preceding, it is equally liable to vary in 
size, colour, and form, and offers nearly the same 
variations. It is immediately known from that spe- 
cies by being more depressed, and strongly concen- 
trically striated.
