Southcote Lodge.

The snails asked after by MR. H. T. RILEY are to be met with near Dorking.

When in that neighbourhood one day in May last, I found two in the hedgerow

on the London road (west side) between Dorking and Box Hill. They are much

larger than the common snail, the shells of a light brown, and the flesh

only slightly tinged with green. I identified them by a description and

drawing given in an excellent book for children, the _Parent's Cabinet_,

which also states that they are to be found about Box Hill.
