B44 HELIX HORTENSIS. 
The sub-var. albina Mog. is described as white or whitish. 
The sub-var. subalbida Locard is described by Cockerell as very pale and 
almost white. 
The sub-var. grisea Esmark, being a descriptive name, does not appear to have 
been formally described ; it probably is intended to indicate a sullied whitish form. 
The sub-var. isabellina is also a descriptive term, expressive of a dirty cream 
colour or the hue of very soiled linen. 
The H. hortensis and H. nemoralis obtained from ash trees near York are, 
according to Mr. J. Hawkins, usually pale in colour. 
Herr Dietz observes that specimens of the var. a/bina are more common in wet 
years; but Messrs. Boycott and Bowell point out that, on the principle that 
extremes meet, a succession of dry seasons apparently has a similar effect, as 
during the unusually dry summer of 1896, which was preceded by several seasons 
of similar character, a very marked tendency towards albinism was shown by this 
species around Hereford. 
The unicolorous form is the var. alba unicolor of Boyeott and Bowell (op. cit.) ; 
and the fasciate form is the var. alba fasciata of the same authors. The formula 
00305 has been distinguished as var. grateloupia hy Moquin-Tandon.
