Var. flavescens Moq. — Bath; Bristol (Bristol Mus.); Gants 

 Mill, near Bruton, Castle Cary, a conoidal form. 



Var. cincta Taylor. — Near Bruton, rare (Heginbotham). 

 Helix cantiana Mont. — An extremely local species. " Brisling- 

 ton is the only locality in Somersetshire in which we know this shell to 

 occur. It was first taken there by Mr. Miller " (Norman). All attempts 

 to introduce it (and I have made several) at Bratton St. Maur, have 

 failed. There are specimens- in the Jenyns collection (Bath Mus.), 

 probably from the Bristol district. Ashleigh Hill, and Leigh Woods, 

 Bristol (Cundall, and verified by Mr. Wilson) ; Avon Gorge (Bristol 

 Mus.). "Common in one extended locality at Hatch Beauchamp, 

 near Taunton " (Bowell). 



Var. albida Taylor. — Bristol (Bristol Mus.). 



Var. minor Moq. — Dundry, near Bristol (Bristol Mus.). 

 Helix rufescens Pennant. — " Varies according to the habitat. 

 Those among brambles and in hedges are mostly large and horn-coloured 

 while specimens from drier situations are smaller, deeper in colour, and 

 more elevated in the spire " (Norman). Commonly distributed. 



Var. depressa Loc— Toomer, near Henstridge. 



Var. minor Jeffr. — Abbott's Leigh (Bristol Mus.). 



Var. rubens Moq. — Bath. Common throughout the Wincanton 

 district. 



Var. albo-cincta Ckll. — With a white peripheral band. From 

 rejectamenta of the stream at Sbepton Montague, Feb. 1897. 



Var. alba Moq. — A frequent form. I have often observed it 

 on the leaves of Arum maculatum. Bath, Wincanton, Glastonbury, 

 Bruton, etc., etc. " Near Clevedon, stones lying by an old lime 

 kiln " (Norman). 



A pronounced variation, which is probably new, very convex, with 

 spire generally elevated and deep sutures, was obtained from rejecta- 

 menta of stream at Shepton Montague, and from hedge-banks, Bratton 

 St. Maur. 



Helix hispida L. (=£?• concinna Jeffr., which for a long time 

 was considered a distinct species). — Jeffreys' H. hispida being identical 

 with Mousson's var. nispidosa, it now ranks as that variety. Albino 

 varieties of both forms having been recorded, I have discarded 

 albida-hispida and retained Jeffreys' albino form of concinna. A very 

 common species. 



Var. albida Jeffr. — Ashley Downs (Cundall); Bath; Castle Cary; 

 churchyard at Bratton St. Maur. 



Var. nana Jeffr. — There is a variety minor recorded for Bath by 

 Mr. Clark, which might be referred to v. ?iana, which is much smaller, 

 with a strong labial rib.
