Summary. The presence of B substance in saline extracts of albumen glands of Helix pomatia has been reported by K im et al . [5] and the agglutination of Hela cells by anti‐A Hel mentioned by U hlenbbuck et al . [10]. We report in this paper serological differences between related species of snails revealed by haemolysis, agglutination of Hela cells and presence of B‐like substance. The same snail substances have been used as in Part I of this report. Saline extracts of seeds were prepared as described in [2] and anti‐B ST was the same as that used for experiments in Part I of this report.
