366 HELIX HORTENSIS. 
On some of the islands in the St. Lawrence it is very plentiful, as on Hare 
Island and the * Brandy Pots,” opposite the Riviere du Loup, where it was found 
in vast numbers in 1857. 
On Anticosti, specimens were collected during the ‘‘ Arethusa ” Expedition in 
1880 at Wreck Harbour, East Cape, and are now in the collection of the Boston 
Society of Natural History. 
At Grand Entry, Magdalen Islands, a number of specimens, all with yellow 
ground colour, were collected in 1901 by a member of the Carnegie Museum Expe- 
dition to Labrador, the prevalent variety being 12345 with (12)345 of much less 
frequent occurrence, although a noticeable tendency of the bulk of the specimens 
towards the coalition of the two upper bands was perceptible ; while the formule 
12045 and 00000 were quite rare. The formula 00300 was not rare, but were all 
referable to the var. arenicola. 
Nova Scotia—Recorded from Halifax and Cape Breton Island by Dr. W. H. Dall. 
New Brunswick—Reported by Prof. E. S. Morse and others from the Island of 
Grand Manan. 
Prince Edward Island—Var. /utew found by Mr. Ives on Curtain Isle, Rich- 
mond Bay (Nautilus, Dec. 1906, p. 95). 
Newfoundland —Helix hortensis ranges along the greater part of the west coast, 
but has not yet been met with on the eastern seaboard. It occurs in considerable 
numbers in the damp wooded valleys of the Great and Little Codroy Rivers, but 
chiefly in the latter, the shells collected in the Little Codroy valley by Mr. Gratacap 
being thin, with dull reddish-brown bands and yellow ground colour, comprising 
the var. swhglobosa Binney, with var. Zutea 00000, 12345, (12345), and (123)45. 
Mr. G. H. Clapp records it as found near the head waters of Robinson's River, 
with the formule (12345), 1(234)5, and 00000. In 1905 it was discovered by Mr. 
J. Bryant, jr., at the Serpentine River, and at the mouth of the East River in 
Hawkes Bay by Dr. John Bryant; at the latter place a good series were obtained 
in 1906 by Drs. C. W. Townsend and G. M. Allen of var. Zuteaw 00000 and (12345), 
and all were feeding upon the cow parsnip. 
Baron Feérussac recorded it as living on the Islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon 
as early as 1822, which probably constitutes the earliest record of this species for 
the Nearctic region. 
Labrador—A specimen in the British Museum, labelled ‘‘H/. hortensis, Labrador, 
Lady Douglas.” It is an example of var. /ufea, with somewhat transparent bands, 
showing the formula 10345, a form distinguished by Moqnin-Tandon as_ var. 
vallotia. 
UNITED STATES. 
Maine—Dr. Gould in 1841 cited the ‘‘region of Portland” as one of its stations; 
and Dr. Mighels in 1843 reported the var. dutea, 00000, 12345, ete., the var. rufo- 
zonata, the var. avenicola, and a sinistral specimen as found by Capt. Walden on 
one of the little islands in Casco Bay; Mr. C. W. Johnson gives Spruce Head ; 
Mr. Schick collected it at Bar Harbour; and Mr. G. H. Clapp the banded variety 
(12345) at Cape Porpoise near Kennebunkport. 
Prof. Morse in 1864 recorded it as abundant on several islands from Casco Bay 
to Grand Manan. On Eagle Island, one of the extreme outer islands of Casco Bay, 
it occurs in great profusion, clinging to the dwarf wild pear. 
On Brown Cow Island, Dr. A. S. Packard found the ‘‘olive-green” variety to be 
the predominant form, but blending into the var. dutea, the var. arenicola and 
banded forms each constituting about ten per cent. of the total shells found. 
Rev. H. W. Winkley has found the species on Inner Green Island; Mr. W. H. 
Weeks, junr., on Cliff or Crotch Island; Mr. H. K. Morrell reports it as living on 
Pumpkin Knob on the east side of Sheepscot Bay, and as abundant on Matinicus. 
Mr. H.S. Colton and Mr. Blaney record it as common on Little Dueck Island, 
near Frenchman’s Bay; Mr. Owen Bryant found the five-banded form on Seal Rock, 
an islet of the Matinieus group; Mr. A. H. Norton on Mosquito or Little Egg 
Rock, Muscongus Bay ; and Mr. G. W. Clapp has found it on Bar Island, and at 
Bar Harbour on the mainland, all the specimens being characterized by the total 
absence of bands, or their reduction to a very faint and transparent condition, with 
the formule 12300, 00300, and 003x40. 
New Hampshire — Specimens in the Whittemore Collection, found by Capt. 
Sloane, on Wood island, Portsmouth. 
Vermont —Amos Binney in 1851 recorded that this species was said to oceur in 
the northern part of Vermont.
