MOLLUSCA OF OHIO. 
Polygyra hirsuta (Say, Helix.). 
Over the state, common. Albinos are not infrequent. 
Polygyra fraterna (Say, Helix). 
- Over the state, common, albinos are occasionally found. 
This is what has been taken for monodon Rackett, plus 
var. jraterna in earlier descriptions and lists. 
Peed monodon (Rackett, Helix), /eat Ward. 
Cincinnati; Columbus; lake islands! (Allen); Defiance (St.). 
Not found e. g. in Tuscarawas Co, This is the. Helix 
leat, or monodon var. leat of descriptive works and lists. 
At least in Ohio, the two species appear to be distinct, 
and have always been so regarded by the Cincinnati 
and Columbus conchologists; at Defiance, I have found 
the two side by side, without any intermediate spec- 
imens. 
PHILOMYCIDA. 
Philomycus caroliniensis (Bosc, Limax), Tebennophorus caro- 
liniensis G. W. Binney. 
Over the state, common, but becoming rare in many sec- 
tions. Variable, and its color variations are said to 
indicate varieties and even distinct species, by some 
conchologists. These slugs should be carefully collected 
and studied. 
tPhilomycus sp.—pennsylvanicus Pilsbry? x 
Near Chippewa Lake (St.). Decidedly distinct from the two 
other species. About 30 mill. long, slender, light col- 
ored, the sole tinged with blood-red; the jaw has a 
number of somewhat rib-like, irregular ridges. The 
animal is as active as a Limax. 
{Philomycus dorsalis Binney, Pallijera dorsalis Morse. 
Tuscarawas and:Defiance Counties (St.); probably over the 
state, but overlooked. (It is in none of the Cincinnati 
catalogues. ) 
ENDODONTID&. 
Patula [Pyramidula] solitaria (Say, Helix). 
Over the state, less common than the following. 
Patula alternata (Say, Helix). 
Over the state, common, at some places abundant. Albinos 
are found occasionally, also reversed age 
specimens, ¢. g. at New Philadelphia (St.) 
Patula perspectiva (Say, Helix.) 
-Over the state, common, preferably in the forests, on and 
in decaying wood. Albinos are found occasionally. 
Patula striatella (Anthony, Helix). 
Over the state, common, preferably in the open.
