ANIMAL with a variable ground tint, with irregular dark spots and interstitial 
lineolation. 
The sub-var. sylvatiea is described by Moquin-Tandon as of variable ground 
colour, with irregular spots, the head often of a clear brown. The var. 7 of Férussac 
is quoted as synonymous. 
The sub-var. maculata is described as irregularly spotted. 
The sub-var. subreticulata is described as having the interstitial lineolation 
more diffuse. . 
The sub-var. fuseconotata Less. & Poll. has brown spots, or is subreticulate upon 
a pale ground colour. 
The sub-var. nigricans Westerlund is described as grey, with somewhat coal- 
escent black spots and dark tentacles. 
The sub-var. obseura is described as reddish with brown spots. 
The var. reticulata and its sub-varieties really represent the most prevalent type, 
being probably found in every locality where the species exists in the British Isles.
