Helix hortensis v. lutea unicoloy Boycott and Bowell, Contr. Fauna Heref., 1899, p. 63. 
The var. lutea s.s. is defined as of a more or less vivid yellow. 
The sub-var. flavovirens Picard is greenish-yellow; the var. Javoviridis Kickx 
is probably quite identical. 
The sub-var. subglobosa is described by Prof. T. D. A. Cockerell (Nautilus, 
1890, p. 140), as greenish or brownish-yellow or honey colour, with the pale yellow 
parietal wall sharply defined. 
The var. griseo-lutea of Esmark may be regarded as possessing a dulled yellow 
shell, and is also probably identical or allied with the var. Ae/vola of Kickx. 
The sub-var. luteseens includes the paler and less brilliant shades of yellow. 
This variety is co-extensive in distribution with the species itself, and except 
for the Nearctic region, localities are here cited for the sub-varieties only. 
According to Mr. Hawkins, of York, the most brilliantly coloured and finest 
specimens live on the Willow herb (Epilobium hirsutian); its sub-varieties are less 
universally known. 
The unicolorous form is the var. Zutea unicolor of Boyeott and Bowell (op. eit.) ; 
and the fasciate forms are the var. lutea fasciata of the same authors. The follow- 
ing formule have been named by French authors :—
