above tried to pull the shell into a straight line; then resting for a few minutes, it stretched out its body on the right side pulled its utmost but failed; resting again, it protruded its foot on the left side/13/pulled with its full force freed the shell. This exertion of force in three directions, which seems so geometrically reasoned, might have been instinctive. Mr. Lonsdale, the geologist, kept two snails (Helix pomatia) in a small garden ill provided with vegetables; one of the snails

These animals appear also susceptible of some degree of permanent attachment: an accurate observer, Mr. Lonsdale, informs me that he placed a pair of land-shells (Helix pomatia), one of which was weakly, into a small and ill-provided garden.
