ZoNITES GLABER ( Stud .). 
In 1875 Mr. H. J. J. Lavis found it “near Otterspool, Berry 
Wood,” in 1873 Mr. Ashford recorded it as found near Hitchin, 
and in 1883 it was recorded for Easneye by Loydell and Howe. 
These records, or some of them, may appertain to the nearly-allied 
species Z. alliarius. 
ZUNITES RADIATULUS ( Aid .). 
Pound by Mr. Lavis in 1875 near Otterspool, Berry Wood. 
Helix pomatia, L . 
The earliest record is that by Martin Lister in 1678, who writes : 
“ Agro Hardfordiensi et alibi in Anglia meridionali abundant.” 
Montagu writes: “Doctor Lister says in Hertfordshire, about 
Ware and Puckeridge.” This seems to indicate that Dr. Lister 
named the localities in some book to which we have not had access. 
The species is cited for this county by subsequent writers, such as 
Dr. Jeffreys, B. Tate, etc. 
Helix pomatia, var. albida, Moq. 
Recorded in 1883 as occurring at Puckeridge, Herts, by Loydell

Mr. H. J. J. Layis found it in 1875 abundant near Otterspool, 
Berry Wood. 
Helix nemoralis, L . 
In 1875 Mr. Lavis found it abundant near Otterspool, Berry 
Wood, and in 1883 Messrs. Loydell and Rowe recorded it as occur¬ 
ring at Puckeridge.

Dr. Jeffreys remarks of this: “ Yar. 3. Hoddesdon, Herts, on 
the marshes by the side of the River Lea, the specimens being 
numerous, and all of the same form and size (Pickering). Such 
a locality is very remarkable for this dwarf variety, which I have 
taken on the Swiss Alps, in the region of perpetual snow.” In a 
paper in the ‘Annals,’ 1877, he remarks on its occurrence in the 
grounds of Ware Priory as well as on the banks of the Lea. Mr. 
Taylor in his Life History of the species, repeats the first of these 
notes. 
Helix Cantiana, Mont. 
Montagu, in his Supplement, writes : “ We have recently taken 
it in Hertfordshire.” In 1875 Mr. H. J. J. Lavis included this 
species with a query as abundant “ near Otterspool, Berry Wood.” 
And in 1883 the species was recorded by Messrs. Loydell and 
Rowe as occurring at Puckeridge.
