In hedges In sandy and chalky districts. Kent^ 
Surrey 5 Hampshire, Dorset, Hertford. Now common 
near Newcastle. 
Animal grey, above warty, brown. 
Shell about three quarters of an inch in dia- 
meter, irregularly striate transversely. Fig. 35. 
thin and nearly transparent, of a pale 
yellowish-white or lead-colour, rufous 
about the mouth and underneath ; the 
lower volution tumid and well rounded, not carinated, 
but mostly marked with an obscure pale band in the 
middle ; aperture semielliptic, as wide as long, with 
a thin but not reflected margin; the internal rib 
white or rosy; umbilicus small, (fig. 35.) 
The young shells are very pale, pellucid, and with 
a rather hispid periostraca, 
Ferussac was at first inclined to consider this 
species as distinct from any of the continental shells 
{Journ. Phys. xc. 300.) ; but he afterwards considered 
it as a local variety of H. carthusiana of Drap. 
All the French specimens I have seen are very 
different from our shells, and I think they want 
further examination ; at any rate Lister’s and Mon- 
tagu’s names have the priority, and H, carthusiana
