HELIX HORTENSIS, Miller. 
Generally distributed. Perhaps more abundant in roadside 
hedges than elsewhere, especially in the vicinity of villages. 
Like H. nemoralis, it exhibits remarkable diversity in colour 
and banding. Extreme forms alone are recognised as varieties 
in the Conchological Society’s list. A collector may easily 
obtain on the limestone in Somerset a series of specimens 
shewing every gradation of colour between two colour forms, 
such as var. albina and var. lilacina. Some of the intermediate 
forms present a piebald appearance and may be considered as 
hybrids, for example, the var. dutea is sometimes blotched with 
faint lilac spots (var. lutea-lurida, Williams). I have taken 
large forms (var. major, Moquin- Tandon) at Bratton St. Maur ; 
dwarf forms (var. minor, Moquin- Tandon) have been taken by 
Miss Fairbrass at Bath, Miss Hele at Blagdon, Mr. C. D. 
Heginbotham in the neighbourhood of Bruton, and by the 
writer about Bratton St. Maur. 
Messrs. Kennard and Woodward record H/. hortensis from a 
holocene deposit of great antiquity at Castle Cary.
