species are said to be peculiar to the Balearic archipelago. The 

 affinity of all seems, as might be expected from the geological history 

 of the islands, to be more Spanish than Italian, French, or Algerian. 

 It is the section Jacosta of the subgenus and genus Helicella that is 

 especially characteristic of the Balearic Isles.

There is no public collection of natural history objects in the 

 island, nor could I hear of any private collector, though probably 

 some exist. The island can roughly be divided into a large plain, 

 highly cultivated, in which land shells would not naturally abound; 

 very stony hills, bare but for a scanty growth of prickly and aromatic 

 shrubs and scattered fir trees; and the mountains which are still more
