The sub-var. scharffi is another form of this species which Kennard 
and Bowell have described and proposed to raise to distinct specific rank 
as Vitrea scharffi and which the authors regard as having been confused 
with H. helvetica by the celebrated conchologists, Dr. O. Battger, Dr. Blum, 
Dr. Westerlund, ete., a strange and very unlikely circumstance; they also 
regard their proposed species as confused with lucida, celluria, helvetica, 
or nitidula by other writers. 
Mr. Stelfox and other Irish conchologists regard this form as immature 
examples of the conical, highly polished, woodland form of HZ. cedlariu. 
‘he shell is described by Mr. Kennard as :— 
Vitrea scharffi.—SHELL convex above and beneath, very glossy, light fulvous 
horn colour above, opaque white beneath, with irregular curved strix parallel with 
the mouth. WaHorts 54, body-whorl about half the size of the shell ; SUTURE 
shallow ; UMBILICUS narrow and deep. Altitude 6 mm.; diam. 12 mm. 
Pic. d381.—I thea scharfi K. & B., Cloughjordan, Tipperary (enlarged about one-third), after Kennard. 
Mr. A. 8. Kennard further adds that there is but little difficulty in 
distinguishing /7Z. scharfi, for its colour is very striking and quite sufficient 
to separate it from either //. lucida, H. cellaria, or H. hibernica. 
Compared with //. cellaria it 1s larger, more robust, and with a much 
smaller umbilicus, whilst it may readily be distinguished from /7/. lucida 
by the last whorl not being so expanded, and from H/. hibernica by the 
smaller umbilicus and far more polished surface. 
The organization of the animal is described by Mr. Bowell, who also 
remarks that the external aspect of V. schar(i bears a strong superficial 
resemblance to nitidula, most striking in living specimens, the prevailing 
tint of the animal of scharfi being dull-brown, more or less flecked with 
small patches of black, but not forming a pattern or lines. 
The authors of this proposed species are, however, far from being in 
accord with each other as to the essential characters and affinities of the 
shell, Mr. Kennard as above, comparing it with and pointing out its dis- 
tinctions from //. lucida, IH. cellaria, and HH. hibernica, while his colla- 
borator, on the contrary, describes the shell as answering to the description 
of IT. nitidula var. nitens, but possessing a radula lke that of cedlaria, 
and stating that he always closely examines any doubtful x/t/du/a, and 
these if not nitidula are generally scharffi.
