100 PROCEEDINGS OP THE ACADEMY OP 



few specimens have been found. Some of these have the reflected 

 margin of the aperture of a beautiful rose color. 



Helix electrina, Gould. 



Formerly abundant, but now quite scarce. 



Helix fallax, Say. 



Two specimens from Litchfield (18U), appear to belong to this 

 species. They differ essentially from the variety of tridentata 

 found here heretofore regarded as fallax. 

 Helix fuliginosa, Griffith. 



Abundant in some of the ravines in Litchfield. 



Helix hirsuta, Say. 



I have never found this species. Col. E. Jewett, of Utica, in- 

 forms me he had found it several years ago near New Hartford. 



Helix indentata, Say. 



Always rare. It has not been found for several years. 



Helix intertexta, Binney. 



Found in ravines and on hillsides shaded by poplars. It is not 

 a very abundant species, but may usually be obtained in the 

 months of July and August. 



Helix ligera, Say. 



I have found a single specimen only. Dr. "William Brown, of 

 Litchfield, has half a dozen specimens taken from under an old 

 fence on a hill in Litchfield. The shells are smaller than typical 

 ligera and the apex is less pointed. It may be placed between 

 typical ligera and demissa, and seems to identify these forms as 

 varieties of one type. 



Helix lineata, Say. 



A rare species. Scarcely twenty living specimens have been 

 found since 1854.' [Since the above was written, Dr. Brown has 

 presented numerous specimens found in Litchfield.] 



Helix inornata, Say. 



Common in ravines. Apparently more abundant than in former 

 3 r ears. 

 Helix minuscula, Binney. 



A rare species. Wet land in the Mohawk Valley.
