HELIX. 117 



HELIX ELECTRINA Gould vol. ii. p. 236, pi. xxix. fig. 1. 



PfeifFer (Symb. ii. 10) considers this a variety of nitidosa, 

 but subsequently refers it to pura, as does also Reeve. 

 It has also been detected in Georgia and New York. 



HELIX OTTONIS Pfeiffer vol. ii. p. 238, pi. xxix. a, fig. 3. 



Also considered a synonym of arbor ea by Reeve, (No. 

 738.) See the remarks under H. arborea. 



HELIX STEENSTRUPII Morch. 



In Morch's catalogue of Greenland Mollusca (Rink's 

 Greenland, p. 75) occurs the following mention of this 

 species, which is the only information I can obtain in 

 regard to it. (See also H. Fabricii.)

 founded on the description alone, not having seen any 

 authentic specimen.
