[Helix lineata, Olivi (Zool. Adriat., 1792, p. 177) and 



H. maritima, Draparnaud {Hist. Moll. France, 1805, 



p. 85, pi. V, f. 9 & 10), have been largely cited as 



varieties of this species, but there are grave doubts 



as to their identity and consequently they are here 



omitted. 



Germain {Moll. France, ii, p. 97) gives as synonyms : — 



Helix luteata, Locard {non Parr.) ; H. astata, Bourg. ; 



H. plenaria, hocavd; H. arenivaga,Ma,h.; H.leonis, 



Loc. ; H. privatiformis, Hagenm. ; H. lentipes, Loc. ; 



and H. petrophila, Loc. Innumerable additional 



names have been given by continental writers to 



more or less inconstant varieties of this species that 



are here disregarded.]
