Abstract

An interesting shell-color phase occurs in Helicina orbiculata tropica ’Jan.’ Pfr., a small land snail found in abund ance in northeastern, southern, and central Texas. Pilsbry and Ferris have noted color variations in this species, stating that "some colonies are all white; others are mingled with red or blue shells".
