HELIX HORTENSIS, NEAR EDGARTOWN, MARTHA' S VlNEYARD, 



MASS. This species has recently been found by Mr. Edward 

 Wigglesworth, on Snow's Point, Chappaquiddic Island, near 

 Edgartown. The species was recorded from near Gay Head, by 

 John H. Thomson in 1885, (Journ. Conch. [Brit.] IV, p. 373), 

 but I have been unable to obtain a record of the species from 

 Martha's Vineyard since that time. Thomson's specimens were 

 all of the bright lemon-yellow variety, while this colony con- 

 tains practically only the five-banded form. In only four spec- 

 imens out of 97 was the third band wanting and of these two 

 were young (under 7mm.), in 12 other young specimens how- 

 ever the third band was the first to appear. In about six speci- 

 mens there was a tendency for the first and second and the 

 fourth and fifth bands to fuse on the outer portion of the body- 

 whorl. C. W. JOHNSON.
