 tribution). KORMOS, Nachrbl. D. Mai. Ges. 39, Oct. 1907, p.

 the ruins of Nehaj, on the coast). Helix moricandi FERUSSAC, 

 Prodr., p. 60, no. 480, no description. 



Rossmaessler found this species when on a shell hunt in 

 company with his friend Kokeil, of Klagenfurt, in whose 

 honor it is named. The shells were covered with soil, resem- 

 bling little balls of earth, and were found on rocks and old 

 walls. The species had previously been found at Idria by S. 

 Moricand, in 1812, and named, but not described, by Ferussac. 



Form mitescens Westerlund. PL 41, fig. 11. The smaller 

 plicae on the peristome are wanting and only the six larger 

 ones are developed (West.).
