is rounded, as in the two former fpecies, but the mouth is more depreffed j the cla¬ 
vicle has four volutions, and is terminated by a little round button : the fheli is con- 
fiderably thick and firm, and it’s ground colour is a dufky yejlowifh : it has a fingle 
broad fafcia, of a deep brown, following the turn of the {hell, and placed juft in the 
middle of the body; it has alfo fome other faint variegations of brown, and the mouth 
is furrounded with a thick rim of white. 
We have this under fome of our hedges in the Weft of England, but it is not 
common. 
Befides thefe three fpecies, we have, of the common large Snail kind, i. The great, 
brown and white Snail, with a depreffed clavicle. 2. The great, brown Snail, with 
fcarce any variegations, with an elated clavicle 5 and, 3. The large, bluifh Snail. . 
. 2. Of the common fmaller Snails we have a very confiderable variety, and moft of 
them very elegant, even the plain-coloured ones not being without confiderable beauty. 
Cochlea lutea lahio pallido. 
\The plain , yellow Snail, with a yellow lip. 
This is barely half an inch in height, and is about as much in diameter; the body 
is not fo diftind from the clavicle as in the larger fpecies, but the whole fheli may be 
faid to have five volutions or turns: the form is lefs elevated than that of the larger 
kind, but the clavicle rifes from the reft of the {hell, and terminates obtufely • the 
mouth is large, and approaches to round, but it is depreffed, and in part filled up by 
the fucceeding volutions of the {hell: the colour of the whole is a plain, but bright, 
yellow, with no variegation, only the lip or verge of the mouth is of a paler hue than 
the reft, and fometimes whitifh. 
We have this every-where in our gardens and hedges. 
Cochlea flava fafciis Jingularihus . 
The yellow Cochlea , with Jingle fafcice . 
This is a very beautiful {hell; it is nearly half an inch in diameter, and almoft as 
much in height: it confifts of five volutions, and it’s mouth is of a depreffed figure, 
and is furrounded by a whitifh rim or lip : the colour of the {hell is yellow, but there 
runs a fingle broad fafcia or belt of a deep, purplifh-brown colour, in the center of 
every volution following the whole fpiral turn of the {hell. 
We have this fpecies as frequent as the former, in our gardens and hedges. 
Cochlea Jlava fafciis triplicibus. 
The yellow Cochlea , with triple fafcice . 
This is alfo a beautiful fpecies; it is near half an inch in diameter, and as much in 
height: the mouth is roundifh but depreffed, and the whole fheli is compofed of five 
volutions, the clavicle terminating in an obtufe umbo or button : the ground colour is 
yellow, but there runs a triple fafcia, of a purplifh-brown, round the whole volution 
of the fheli, fo that there appear in the center of each turn three lines, the middle 
one broad, and the other two narrower. 
This is frequent with us in gardens and hedges. 
Cochlea flava fafciis quaternatis . 
The yellow Cochlea, with quaternate zones 1 
This is about half an inch in diameter, and is nearly as much in height: the whole 
{hell confifts of five volutions, and the top or extremity of the clavicle is obtufe, and 
formed into a little umbo: the mouth is large, rounded, but depreffed, and edged 
with a rounded, thin rim, of a whitifh colour: the general colour of the {hell is 
yellow, but there run on each volution four narrow lines of a purplifh colour; they 
follow the whole turn of the {hell, and ftand in the midft of all the fpiral rounds. 
This is frequent with the former fpecies in our fields and gardens.
