and Hanley^ B, M. iv. 69. — Helix hispida. Gilbertson^ 
MSS. B.M. 
Inhab. woods (?), north of England. 
Animal greyish, marbled with black. 
Shell subglobular, three tenths of an inch in dia- 
meter, dark brown, thin, pellucid, with a very obscure 
whitish central band, giving it a rather keeled ap- 
pearance, covered with a brown periostraca with 
distant elongated hairs ; umbilicus rather small 
(partly covered with the front of the lip), only 
showing the last whorl but one, 
Mr. Alder, who first noticed this species in England, 
observes, It is difficult to say whether or not this is 
the H, sericea of Miiller, I having introduced it as 
such on the faith of Baron de Ferussac. I leave it 
Fig. 39. for further investigation.” 
This shell varies from dull reddish to nearly 
pure translucid white. 
Mr. Kenyon gave the accompanying figure 
as i?. sericea of Draparnaud. (fig. 39.) 
This shell is thinner, more globular, and with the 
umbilicus smaller than H. hispida; of a darker colour, 
and with the apex more depressed than H. granulata.
