  Mr. 
  G. 
  K. 
  Glide 
  exhibited 
  two 
  sinistral 
  specimens 
  labelled 
  Helix 
  

   cantiana, 
  var., 
  Wiltshire, 
  belonging 
  to 
  the 
  National 
  Museum 
  of 
  

   Wales, 
  Cardiff, 
  which 
  had 
  been 
  submitted 
  to 
  him 
  for 
  examination 
  by 
  

   Mr. 
  J. 
  Davy 
  Dean. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Gude 
  stated 
  that 
  a 
  careful 
  scrutiny 
  had 
  satisfied 
  him 
  that 
  these 
  shells 
  

   had 
  been 
  wrongly 
  named 
  and 
  that 
  they 
  could 
  not 
  possibly 
  be 
  British 
  

   specimens. 
  One 
  of 
  them 
  agreed 
  in 
  every 
  respect 
  with 
  Eulota 
  fortunei, 
  Pfr., 
  

   var. 
  meridionalis, 
  MUdff., 
  a 
  native 
  of 
  China. 
  He 
  exhibited 
  a 
  specimen 
  from 
  

   his 
  own 
  collection, 
  received 
  fi'om 
  a 
  dealer 
  as 
  Helix 
  cantiana 
  sinistrorsa, 
  

   Dorset, 
  which 
  agreed 
  with 
  the 
  Cardiff 
  Museum 
  shell. 
  Both 
  distinctly 
  showed" 
  

   the 
  fine 
  wavy 
  impressed 
  spirals 
  of 
  the 
  Chinese 
  species. 
  The 
  other 
  specimen, 
  

   he 
  stated, 
  was 
  simply 
  an 
  immature 
  albino 
  form 
  of 
  Arioplianta 
  lavipes, 
  Mull. 
  

   None 
  of 
  these 
  shells 
  exhibited 
  the 
  slightest 
  trace 
  of 
  the 
  malleated 
  surface 
  

   characteristic 
  of 
  the 
  Helix 
  cantiana 
  group.
