Cochlea fiavefcens fafciis quinath. 
"Tide yellowifh Cochlea , with quinate fafeice. 
This is half an inch in diameter, and nearly as much in height: the fhell is thinner 
than in moft of the other fpecies, and is eafily burft or crufhed to pieces: the clavi¬ 
cle terminates in a little, whitifh umbo 5 and the mouth, which is large and depreffed, 
is furrounded with a thin rim or lip of a whitifh hue: the colour of the fhell is a 
pale whitifh-yellow, but in the center of the body there run five narrow fafciae or 
zones: they are continued, though in a lefs determinate manner, to the top of the 
fhell, running along the center of each turn. 
This fpecies is as frequent as the others, in our fields and gardens. 
The other fpecies of the fmaller Snails are, 1. The plain, white Cochlea. 2. The 
white Cochlea, with a fmglezone of a purplifh-brown. 3. The white Cochlea, with 
ternate fafciae or three zones on each volution. 4. The white Cochlea, with quater- 
nate zones. 5. The white Cochlea, with quinate zones, or five ftreaks on each volu¬ 
tion. 6. The plane, reddifh Cochlea. 7. The reddifh Cochlea, with a fingle faf- 
cia. S. The reddifh Cochlea, with three fafciae. 9. The reddifh Cochlea, with four 
fafciae. 10. The reddifh Cochlea, with five fafciae. 11. The pale brown Cochlea, 
with a thicker fhell. 12. The fine, thin, very pale brown, and tranfparent Cochlea. 
13. The brown Cochlea, with fingle zones. 14. The brown Cochlea, with ternated 
zones. 15. The brown Cochlea, with four zones. 16. The brown Cochlea, with 
five zones. 17. The thin-fhelled, plane, yellow Cochlea, with a brown lip. 18. The 
brown Cochlea, with a purple lip. 19. The very thin, reddifh Cochlea, with a 
purple lip. 
Thefe are the fpecies of the fmaller Cochleae I have hitherto obferved ; they are all 
to be met with about Batterfea, near the gardens, in great abundance ; and, on throw¬ 
ing them into boiling water, the animal is readily taken out, and the fhells are fit for 
laying up. 
3. Of the depreffed, or broad and very little elevated fnails, thefe are the following 
fpecies. 
Cochlea depreffa carnea, fufco radiata , ore marginal. 
!"the depreffed , fief-coloured Snaif radiated with the brown, and with a 
marginated mouth . 
This is an extreamly beautiful fpecies 5 it is near an inch in diameter, and little more 
than a third of an inch in height: it is formed of four volutions, and the clavicle, 
which is fcarce at all elated, terminates in a rounded extremity: the mouth is large, 
rounded, and edged, with a round and thin rim ; it is expanded to confiderably more 
than the diameter of the fhell: the colour is a faint reddifh or flefh colour, and it is 
elegantly radiated with a deep purplifh-brown. 
I have met with it on the bufhes in Lancafhire, but very rarely; in Germany it is 
frequent. 
Cochlea depreffa 5 alhida, purpuro-fufco radiata . 
The whitifh , depreffed Snail , variegated with rays of purplifh-brown . 
This is a very depreffed or flatted kind ; it meafure9 about three quarters of an inch 
in diameter, and it’s height or thicknefs is not more than a third of an inch: it con- 
fifts of about three volutions, and has a rounded but depreffed mouth, filled up in 
great part by the fucceeding volution, and edged with a thin rim: the colour of the 
whole is a pale greyifh-white, but it is faintly radiated with lines and clouds of an ob- 
l'cure purplifh-brown. 
We have it on the bufhes and in gardens in Yorkfhire, but it is lefs frequent in 
other parts of the kingdom j in Germany and France it is common.
