Helix nemoralis and hortensis. — I should be very pleased if you 
would ask the various conchological readers of “ The Midland 
Naturalist” to kindly furnish me with their records of these two 
shells. What I specially want to know concerning them is as 
follows:—Wliat varieties (with band-formulae) have they found ? 
What number of each variety and band-variation have they taken ? 
What is the environmental condition of the localities where they have 
found them, as regards plant-life and geological formation ? And, in 
addition, I want the records (and this is a special point) from separate 
and distinct hedges or banks.—J. W. Williams, 57, Corinne Road,
