78 THE NAUTILUS. 



Morris Schick collected it at Bar Harbor. Mr. H. S. Colton and later 

 Mr. Dwight Blaney record it as " common" on Little Duck Island, 

 near Frenchman's Bay. 1 



It is also reported from Grand Manan, Halifax and Cape Breton, 

 while from the Gaspe region it has been collected by a number of 

 persons. Dr. John M. Clarke found it very common on the lime- 

 stone area at Perce. Mr. A. W. Hanham, in an article on the 

 " Mollusca of the Gaspe region," 2 says : "Helix hortensis was very 

 common on the hillside, generally buried in the sand, several varie- 

 ties were taken, the plain form seemed to be the most abundant." 

 They were collected at Barachois, and in a beautiful series which he 

 sent to me at the time, I find several specimens in which the bands 

 are all united (12345). It has also been found at Gaspe Basin by 

 Mr. F. R. Latchford. Abbe Provancher lists it from the Province 

 of Quebec as " H. nemoralis." 3 



Specimens from Wreck Harbor, East Cape, Anticosta. collected 

 by members of the " Arethusa" expedition in 1880, are in the col- 

 lection of the Boston Society of Natural History. In Newfoundland 

 the species seerns to extend along the greater portion of the west 

 coast. In a recent letter from Mr. L. P. Gratacap he says: "I 

 found H. hortensis in considerable numbers in Newfoundland, in 

 damp, woody ravines, in the two Codroy valleys, principally in the 

 Little Codroy. They were deep in color, with and without bands. 

 I did not see it on the east coast." Mr. Owen Bryant also failed to 

 find it on the east coast. Mr. G. H. Clapp*says: "A friend has 

 just brought me a living example of //. hortensis (12345) from the 

 headwaters of Robinson's River, west coast of Newfoundland." 

 This locality is not far above the Great Codroy. Mr. John Bryant, 

 Jr., found it at the Serpentine River, June 20, 1905, and Dr. John 

 Bryant at the mouth of East River, Hawkes Bay. During the past 

 summer (July 8, 1906) Drs. C. W. Townsend and G. M. Allen 

 also collected a beautiful series from the same locality on Hawkes 

 Bay. They found them only at the one place, feeding OH the " cow 

 parsnip." All were the bright yellow variety (lutea) with (12345) 

 and without bands.
