FRANCE. 
This species is recorded by Moquin-Tandon as inhabiting northern and central 
France, while Reeve states that it inhabits chiefly the central and southern depart- 
ments. As H. cantiana, H. carthusiana Drap., or other of its different names, it 
has, however, been reported by various observers from Alpes Maritimes, Basses 
Alpes, Basses Pyrénees, Bouches-du-Rhéne, Calvados, Dréome, Gard, Haute 
Garonne, Herault, Languedoc, Isere, Meurthe-et-Moselle, Nord, Pas-de-Calais, 
Rhone, Somme, Var, Vaucluse, Vienne, Vosges, and the Istand of Corsica. 
PAR Ys

Italy or Sicily, but in the various varietal or subspecifie forms it is widely distributed 
and actually 
Recorded from numerous localities by many observers in Abruzzi, Campania, 
Emilia, Liguria, Lombardy, Marches, Piedmont, Tuscany, Umbria, Venetia, and 
the Island of Sicily.

be a form of this species, is recorded from Kalamata in Messinia by Blane; from near 
Athens, from Parnassus in Phocis, from Patras, and from the Ossaspitze in Thessaly, 
by Dr. O. Béttger; reported by Mr. J. R. le B. Tomlin from Olympia, Delphi, Corinth,

Spain—Graells cites Helix carthusiana Drap. as common throughout all Spain ; 
and Prof. Hidalgo also lists H. cantiana as an inhabitant of the country ; but M. 
Morelet states that its existence is doubtful. 
Portugal—Lovell Reeve (British Mollusks, 1863, p. 67), noted H. cantiana as 
Portuguese on the authority of M. Morelet’s record of a larger and opal white 
variety of Helix carthusianella found only about Oporto. M. Morelet informed me 
in 1887 that Reeve was in error in attributing this larger variety to H. cantiana, 
the species being as stated H. carthusianella.
