478 APPENDIX—HELIX POMATIA. 
Var. depressa ‘T'aylor. 
The var. depressa is based on the figures of Dr. Biichner, which are from the 
photographs of the actual shells, from Wurtemburg, and show a very depressed and 
openly umbilicated form, 48 mill. in diam., and 37 mill. in altitude. 
M. Bollinger regards the H. rustica Hartmann as closely related to this variety, 
describing it as flatly coiled, thin shelled, and openly umbilieated, but this view is 
not borne out by Hartmann’s text or by the figures which represent the normal form 
of the species.

Var. gesneri Hartmann. 
The sub-var. plagiostoma of Biichner, which as a subsidiary form of var. 
gesneri was described on p. 222 of the present volume, belongs to the conoidal section, 
in which the spire is more produced and the mouth diminished in size.
