Inhab. Italy and the south of France, on the shores of the Mediterranean.

Dr. Fleming inserted this in the Fauna: he says a single specimen was found, in 1810, at St. Andrews, Scotland. (Brit. Anim. 260.) On his authority, I inserted it in my list of new British shells, in the Medical Repository for 1821, p. 239.; but there can be little doubt that he was mistaken in the species.

5. HELIX conspurcata Drap. H. M. 105. t. 7. f. 23. 25.; Rossm. Icon. t. 26. f. 351*.; Lam. n. 104.

A native of France and Sweden.

Introduced by Mr. Jeffreys as a synonym of H. hispida, but it is not allied to H. caperata - Linn. Trans. xiii. 338. 510.

6. HELIX Olivieri Férussac, Prod. 255., not Pfeiffer, Jeffreys, Linn. Trans. xiii., Rossmäsler, Icon. t. 27. f. 369.

Inhab. south of Europe, Syria. (?)

Introduced by Mr. Jeffreys, who thought one of the varieties of Helix Gibsii was this species.

7. HELIX candidula Studer, Rossm. Icon. t. 26. f. 350. 353.

H. striata var. Drap. t. 6. f. 20., Pfeiffer, 4. t. 2. f. 21, 22.

Inhab. France, Germany, and Switzerland.

Introduced by Mr. Jeffreys (Linn. Trans. xiii.) as a synonyme of H. caperata. But I agree with Mr. Alder in believing that this species has not yet been found in Britain. Rossmasler refers to Turton, Man. f. 21., for this species, but this is a mistake.

8. HELIX sylvatica Drap. t. 6. f. 1.
H. austriaca Rossm. Icon. t. 1. f. 7.
H. vindebonensis Pfeiffer.

Inhab. south of France near
Lyons, and Switzerland.

Introduced into the list by Mr. Kenyon. (Mag. N. Hist. i. 427.) Deshayes believes it is only a variety

of H. nemoralis (Lam. H. ed. 2. 55.), but it is quite distinct.

9. HELIX lucorum Linn. s. n. 1247., Müller, 46., Férus. Moll. t. 21. f. 2.

H. castanea Olivier, Voy. t. 17. f. a. b.

Helix mutata Lam.

A native of Italy and the Levant.

Introduced by Pulteney, who believed it was

our H. aspersa.

10. HELIX cæspitum Drap. 109. t. 6. f. 14, 15., Pfeiffer, 17. t. 6. f. 11, 12., Rossm. Icon. t. 1. f. 16., t. 36. f. 513, 514, 515 (not 516.).

A native of the south of France, Spain, and Syria.

Introduced by Mr. Jeffreys, who believed it to be the same as H. ericetorum, from which it differs in being rounder and higher.

11. HELIX neglecta Drap. 108. t. 6. f. 12, 13., Rossm. Icon. t. 26. f. 355.

A native of the south of France, Italy, and Syria. Introduced by Mr. Jeffreys as a variety of H. virgata. It is more like a variety of H. ericetorum, than of H. virgata, but is still distinct from either.

12. HELIX plebeia Drap.

A native of France, Switzerland, and Germany. Mr. Jeffreys introduced this shell as being sometimes found with H. concinna, and probably another variety of H. hispida.

13. BULIMUS detritus Deshayes.

Bulimus radiatus Brug. E. M. 312., Drap. 73. t. 4. f. 21., Rossm. Icon. t. 2. f. 42.

Helix detrita Müller, ii. 101.

H. sepium Gmel.

Bul. sepium Hartmann, Lister, C. t. 8. f. 2.
Helix radiata Férus.

Buccinum leucozonias Gmel.

Inhab. France and Germany.

This species was introduced into our Fauna by Baron Férussac, who considered that the Helix detrita of English authors must have been described from a specimen of this species, their Helix detrita being a tropical shell, —our Bulimus exilis, p. 17.

14. BULIMUS ventricosus Drap. 78. t. 4. f. 31, 32., Rossm. Icon. t. 28. f. 377.

Helix cochlicella ventrosa Férus. Prod. 52. 377. A native of the south of France, Italy, Syria, and Spain.

Introduced by Dr. Turton (Man. ed. 1. 86.), who believed that a variety of Bulimus acutus, which he had received from Cornwall, was referrible to this species. Mr. Jeffreys thought it was a variety of H. acutus (Linn. Trans. xiii. 347. 513.), and Rossmäsler has referred to Turton's figure without a doubt, as belonging to that species.

15. BULIMUS pupa Brug. E. M. 349., Rossm. Icon.

t. 28. f. 379.

Pupa primitiva Menke, Cat. 34.

Pupa normalis Menke, MSS.

Bulimus tuberculatus Turton, Zool. Journ. 363. t.

13. f. 4., Man. ed. i. 82. f. 64.

Helix pupa Dillwyn, 960.

Inhab. Sicily, Italy, and North Africa. Introduced by Dr. Turton on the authority of Capt. Blomer, who stated that he found it in a wood about Pershore, Worcestershire; but he has since doubted the accuracy of this information (Man. ed. i. 142.), and M. Férussac says that it has never been found within 15 degrees of Britain. 16. PUPA cinerea Drap. 65. t. 3. f. 53, 54., Rossm. t. 23. f. 336.

Bulimus similis Brug. E. M. 96.

Turbo quinquedentatus Dillwyn.

Inhab. south of France, Italy, Switzerland, and South Germany.

Introduced, in error, by myself, a specimen of this shell having been accidentally mixed by Dr. Leach with some specimens of other shells which I had collected at Battersea. Mr. Jeffreys has thought that he also had discovered a fragment of this species in the same locality, but this, too, is probably an error, like some of the other habitats of doubtful species in the same paper, which the author afterwards corrected.

17. PUPA tridens Drap. 68. t. 3. f. 57., Brard, t. 3. f. 11., Rossm. Icon. t. 2. f. 23. Bulimus tridens Brug. E. M. 90.

T. quadridens Alten.

P. tridentata Brard.

Inhab. the continent of Europe.

Introduced, by mistake, by Baron Férussac, who considered it the same as Turbo tridens of the English authors. Journ. de Phys. 1821, p. 295. 18. PUPA obtusa Drap. 63. t. 3. f. 44., Rossm. Icon. 19. t. 23. f. 337.

Pupa germanica Lam. vi. 108.

Cochlostyla obtusa Férus. P. 48. t. 109. f. 4.
A native of France and the Alps.

Dr. Fleming (Brit. Anim. i. 269.) mistook the P. alpestris of Férussac for this species.

19. CLAUSILIA labiata Turton, Man. ed. 1. f. 57. Turbo labiatus Solander, Montag. T. B. 363. Clausilia solida Drap. 7. t. 4. f. 15., Rossm. Icon. t. 18. f. 267.

Strombiformis perversus Dacosta, 107. t. 8. f. 15.
Inhab. France (?), Malta.

Introduced by Dacosta. It is said to have 3 been found at Battersea and in Hyde Park in 1790, by the late Mr. Swainson: most probably it was carelessly placed in the cabinet for C. laminosa, which is common in these localities.

20. CLAUSILIA papillaris Drap. t. 4. f. 13.; Rossm. Icon. t. 12. f. 169.

Clausilia bidens Turton, Man. ed. 1. f. 56.
