HELIX HORTENSIS. 353 
Var. viridizonata Cockerell. 
Helix hortensis var. viridizonata Cockerell, Nat. World, 1885, p. 145. 
SHELL pale, with apple-green bands. 
This name was applied by Prof. Cockerell to a shell figured by Prof. J. G. 
Hidalgo in his Catalogue of the Land Shells of Spain, Portugal, and the Balearic 
Isles, published in 1875. T have been favoured by Prof. Hidalgo with a co-type 
of the shell figured, whieh is, however, referable to the var. Ayalozonata, ov, more 
correctly, to a pale form of eftrinozonata of Helia nemoralis, whieh species Dr. 
Hidalgo now considers the form to be ; the green tint, which was probably in great 
part due to the body of the animal inhabitant showing through the shell, is now 
only faintly pereeptible, Dr. Hidalgo informing me that it has faded with time. 
Mr. C. Clare Fryer (Science Gossip, Noy. 1890), recorded finding at Bourne End, 
Bueks., Medic hortensis with a white ground and banding of an apple-green tint, 
but T have been unable to get further information or to see the specimen. 
Var. roseozonata Cockerell. 
Helix hortensis var. voseozonata Cockerell, Sci. Goss., 1887, p. 177. 
The var. roseozonata was originally deseribed as ‘ bands pink,” but the 
author at a later date (Sci. Goss., 1889, p. 44) amplified and supplemented the 
deseription by adding ‘‘ shell pale or whitish with rose coloured bands.” 
The var. roseozonata of Swanton (Guide, Brit. Moll., 1906, p. 50) is slightly 
different, being described as ‘‘straw colour with reddish bands.”
