™, 
340 HELIX HORTENSIS. 
The variation 10300 is recorded from’ Germany and France, and 000(45) 
from Germany by Meyer, but both forms are quite rare in the British Isles, 
and in North America. 
The formula 12000 has only been found in this country by Mr. R. Cairns, 
and 02300 by Mr. A. Belt and Mr. C. E. Wright, but both are known on the 
continent, from Germany only. 
The formula 0(23)00 is recorded by Cardot for the Ardennes, and by 
von Martens for Germany, and is the only representative of this section 
recorded from the continent which has not yet been discovered in this 
country ; while inversely 10040, found by Mr. C. E. Wright at Racton, 
Hampshire, has not yet been found abroad ; while (12)000, 02040, 02005, 
and 00(34)0 are as yet unrecorded or unknown. 
The one-banded forms are only five in number, and all are known to 
occur in the British Isles and abroad : 
10000 00300 00005 
02000 00040 
Of these, the formula 00300 is by far the commonest variation in this 
country, and is also found in and recorded from Germany, Switzerland, 
France, and the United States. 
The formule 00005, 00040, and 10000 are quite rare in the British Isles, 
and 10000 is only reported from Germany by Schmidt and Sikes ; 00005 
from Germany by von Martens; from France as var. morletia by Locard, 
and as var. barraudia by Moquin-T'andon ; and 00040 from France as var. 
Jfischeria by Moquin-Tandon, from Germany by von Martens, and from the 
United States by Mr. G. H. Clapp : while 02000 is only reported from this 
country by Rev. W. A. Shaw, though also found by Dr. Schmidt in Germany. 
The bandless or unicolorous variation is much commoner in the present 
species than in Helix nemoralis, and like the typical five-banded form is 
coincident in its range with the species itself, and is one of the most 
plentiful of the many forms this species assumes.
