HELIX POMATIA. 235 
BALKAN PENINSULA. 
Recorded as extending over the northern and western districts, including Bosnia, 
Bulgaria, Servia, and also in Greece, about Mount Pindus, Thessaly ; while a 
var. sch/aflii, a somewhat globosely ventricose form with dark peristome and 
parietal wall, ascribed to this species, is cited from Servia, Epirus and Corfu. 
; R U, SSL. A . 
Krynicki has recorded this species as diffused over South Russia, but according 
to his own and other records, this is by no means an accurate statement, as it 
would appear to be absent from the extreme south. 
Kaleniczenko quotes Moscow as a locality for H. pomatia, but this is probably 
an error, as Milachevich in his exhaustive account of the mollusea of that district 
especially emphasizes the fact that the characteristic feature of the Moscovian 
region is the total absence of Heliw p;omatia and the larger Helices. 
It is, however, recorded for Courland, Esthland, Kharkov, Kiev, Kovno, Kursk, 
Livonia, Lithuania, Orel, Poland, Podolia, Poltava, Vilna, and Volhynia, and has 
also been recorded from Trancaucasia, where it has probably been introduced. 
ASIA MINOR. 
Mr. J. Bliss reports the occurrence of this species at Priene near Smyrna; Mr. 
xude possesses shells from Trebizond ; and a var. duschekensis is established by 
Dr. Kobelt for specimens collected at Duschek near Tiflis. 
NORTH AFRICA. 
Morocco—Key. A. H. Cooke cites remarkably heavy specimens from Fez; but 
these also are probably not truly native shells. 
NEOTROPICAL REGION. 
Argentina—In March 1892, Dr. W. H. Rush recorded that he found the British 
Cemetery at Buenos Ayres swarming with Helix pomatia, evidently the progeny 
of some imported specimens. 
Uruguay— Mr. Gude has obtained specimens from Monte Video.
