ae 
350 HELIX HORTENSIS. 
The sub-var. filholia is described as “olivaceous.” 
The sub-var. Simonia is described as ‘‘ brown.” 
The sub-var. grisea-brunnea is a descriptive name, and probably implies a 
paler and less pure brown. 
The sub-var. hepatiea is a descriptive name, and expresses a liver colour. 
The sub-var. roseo-hepatiea is probably intended to distinguish the liver- 
coloured shells with a perceptibly rosy shade. 
The sub-var. de eorti is described as ‘‘ereenish-black, lip red-brown.” 
A var. picea is recorded without description by Meyer; it is probably identical 
with the sub-var. de corti of Schlesch. 
Mr. J. Hawkins has observed and placed on record, that about York, the Hore- 
hound (Ballota nigra) generally yields dark brown or nearly black specimens of 
this species.
