q. Species from California : — 
Helix. The Californian species have been reviewed, principally with regard 
to their distribution into subgenera, by J. G. Cooper, Proc. Calif. Acad. Nat. 
Sc. iii. The subgenera Aglaja, Arionta, and Polgmitg are rejected as foreign 
types, but HgaUna, Comdus, and Patula achnowledged. The author re- 
marks that the Californian species are generallg aufficicmtlg distinct, although 
hybrids undoubtedly occur j and, indeed. Dr. Newcomb has bred many speci- 
mens in his garden which combine the characters of several species, so that it 
is impossible to determine their names. By these observations, Tryon (Am.
