Var. fulva Moq. — An equally common form. 



Var. nana Ckll. (?) — A dingy-grey and very small form from 

 Creech Hill, near Bruton. 



Var. obliterata Pic. — Common in the neighbourhood of 

 Wincanton, Castle Cary, and Bruton. 



Var. lutescens Ckll. (?) — A dirty reddish-yellow, unicolorous 

 form from a quarry on the summit of Castle Cary Hill. This form 

 has entirely adopted the colouring of the stones of the quarry, and is 

 altogether remarkable and interesting. 



Helix virgata Da Costa. —A somewhat local species, judging from 

 the records to hand. It is very common around Wincanton and Bruton. 

 Liable to great variations. We here give in toto Norman's remarks 

 upon it : " Near Burnham one variety is found wholly deep chocolate 

 brown, and another brown with a narrow white band running round 

 the base of the whorls, and more or less lineated round the umbilicus. 

 A third resembles the last, but has in addition to the basal white fillet, 

 a row of white spots round the upper margin of the whorls. A fourth 

 is white, with one, two, or three interrupted spiral bands. Intermediate 

 specimens as well as the more common varieties are also to be found. 

 On the sand-hills at Barrow, these varieties are replaced by a fifth 

 which is milk-white, with the exception of the mouth and apex which 

 are rufous. In Tickenham Churchyard the milk-white variety with 

 translucent bands is to be found. We have taken a reversed specimen 

 on the sea wall near Clevedon." Specimens (loc. ?) in the Jenyns
