The var. a/picola is constant in its diminutive size and comparatively loftier 
spire and is found most characteristically at great altitudes on the granite or lime- 
stone mountain regions, attaining the regions of perpetual snow on the alpine 
pastures, Mr. Collier having found it at an altitude of 7,500 feet above Arollo. 
Germany—Recorded from the Mittenwald, Upper Bavaria; from Schneeburg, 
Saxony ; and from Silesia; but according to Schmidt not yet found in N. Germany. 
France—Recorded from mountains of Dauphiny, Jura and Auvergne, and from 
Mont Cenis; and Dr. Fischer records it from the zone of H. glacialis at an altitude 
of from 6,000—8,000 feet at Cauterets, Hautes Pyrénées. 
Italy—Recorded from the Piedmontese, Lombardian, and Venetian Alps at 
elevations of about 6,000 feet.

VARIATIONS IN COLOUR OF SHELL. 
Var. albina Charpentier. 
Helix arbustorum c albinos Charpentier, Moll. Suisse, 1837, p. 6, pl. 1, f. 2. 
Helix arbustorum c albinos Moquin-Yandon, Hist. Moll., 1855, p. 124. 
Helix arbustorum var. albida Rimmer, L. & F. Shells of Brit. Isles, 1880, p. 121. 
SHELL with a bluish-white ground, with pure white calcareous fleckings. The 
illustrative woodeut given by Charpentier shows a pale shell, with slightly darker 
fleckings (see Monogr., pl. xxxiv., f. 11). 
Mogquin-Tandon describes this variety as whitish and without markings. 
Though this shell is apparently a true albino, the animal itself is sometimes 
very deeply pigmented.
