ABSTRACT
As seen from the literature, each occurrence of sinistral and scalariform shell abnormalities among gastropods may have importance for variously aimed studies (e.g. ecological, developmental, genetic) due to the rarity of such abnormalities in nature. Three new records of atypically developed shells of the Roman snail: one sinistral (Wielkopolskie Province) and two scalariform (one record in Wielkopolskie Province and one in Mazowieckie Province) are reported.
