R. STANDEN : LAND AND FRESHWATER MOLLUSCA. 



var. olivacea Gassies. One specimen of (12) (345) from Goosnargh. 

 Frequent about Whalley (H. Stephenson). 

 Helix hortensis Mlill. Not common along the coast, but fairly so in 

 several inland localities, yet is rather a local species. Very 

 common in district around Whalley, Ribchester, CHtheroe, and 

 Padiham (H. Stephenson). 



' Hedge-banks, road-sides, etc. Pretty common in many 

 places. Chorlton Chapel' (Hardy's List, 1865). 



' Middleton road opposite Heaton Park, upon the hedge- 

 backings. Here is a variety, amongst about a dozen others, 

 nearly white, with transparent bands ; rare. Found also near 

 Preston' (Dyson's"List, 1850). 



It is very odd that I never found any but a few ' dead shells ' 

 of this species or H. nemoralis. The larger Helices seem to 

 have vanished from the Chorlton district — partly by very 

 numerous collectors having worked, and partly by poisoning of 

 the herbage (R.D.D.). 



var. fuscolabiata V. Mart. 00000, Newsham, and Southport. Rare. 



var. minor Moq. Whalley (H. Stephenson). 



var. lutea Moq. 00000, 12345, (i2)(345), 12(34)5, common at 

 Newsham. About Southport, Goosnargh, and Burnley (F.C.L.), 

 12345 and 00000 are the only forms yet met with.

 nargh and Newsham.
