Var. minor Jeffreys, Brit. Conch., 1862, vol. i., p. 195. 
Helix rufescens var, ntontana-minory Westerlund, Fauna Extram., 1878, p. 48. 
SHELL smaller with usually a more elevated spire. 
According to Dr. Jeffreys, it is not uncommon, and its occurrence has been 
verified in many parts of the country ; perhaps the most characteristic shell I have 
seen was found by Mr. W. E. Brady at Bretton West, near Barnsley, Yorkshire. 
This variety probably embraces the var. montana-minor Westl., which is 
characterized by a lofty, globosely-conoid spire, and has a diameter of 8 mill. and 
an alt. of 55 mill., and is only recorded from Switzerland and Mariabrunn, Bavaria, 
and is considered by Clessin to also embrace the Zrichia erecta of Hartmann, a 
compact and regularly conical shell, found at Neuwied in Rhenish Prussia. 
The var. montana-minor is recorded from Alsace, Baden, and Rhenish Prussia 
in Germany ; and also from Switzerland, France, and Austria.
