IS 
sistent. One great distinction between this species 
and the concinna is in the animal of the latter being 
of a reddish colour, and the foot smaller, while 
the hispida has a yellowish white thick foot. This 
shell is very abundant everywhere beneath stones and 
among the herbage of woods and hedges. Kinnoull 
and Moncreiffe Hills, G-lenfarg, Barnhill, and Quarry- 
mill Hen are well known localities in this neighbour¬ 
hood, and it is found in the Breadalbane and other 
Highland districts of the county. 
7. Helix fusca, or dark brown Helix.—The shell is 
about the size of the last, very thin and transparent, 
glossy, brownish olive, transversely marked -with 
strong irregular wrinkles. It is described as local, 
but found from Aberdeenshire to Devon. Only one 
shell has yet been found to my knowledge in this 
district, and that by Dr Buchanan White at Glen- 
farg. Mr Tate mentions in his book that he found 
this shell in the glens of the lake district of Scotland, 
which I suppose means the Trossachs, and which 
must be set down as another station in the county. 
8. Helix rotundaia^ the rounded Helix.— This 
shell is smaller than the foregoing, flatter, and 
rounded, of a horn colour, marked with transverse 
reddish-brown streaks, and numerous curved trans¬ 
verse ribs. It is very common in the district, and 
met with everywhere. The variety alho. of a pale 
yellowish white, with greenish tinge, has been found 
at Barnhill. 
9. Helix rupestris, the rock Helix.—Shell much 
smaller than the foregoing, slightly glossy, of a dark 
brown or purple colour. It is not very abundant, but 
has been found in one or two spots on the rocks of 
Kinnoull, and also on Moncreiffe, and is likely to 
occur on other rocks in the county. 
10. Helix pygmcea, or tiny Helix, is the smallest 
of the genus—in size less than a pin-head. This shell 
is circular, thin, and half transparent, glossy, and of 
a light brown colour. It is found in woods among 
decayed leaves, and about the roots of grass and 
rushes. It appears to be very common throughout 
the country, and in this district is to be found in 
Glenfarg, and on Kinnoull and Moncreiffe Hills.
