154 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



again indebted to my friends and former contributors 

 Mrs. Janet Carphin of Edinburgh, Mr. William Evans, 

 F.R.S.E., of the same city, and Mr. Lionel W. Hinxman of 

 the Geological Survey of Scotland, for renewed help and 

 constant vigilance, and have received assistance also from 

 my old helpers Mr. Thomas Scott, F.L.S., of the Scottish 

 Fishery Board ; the Rev. John M'Murtrie, D.D., and the 

 Rev. William Turner, both of Edinburgh ; and from new 

 helpers in the persons of Mr. Andrew M'Lellan and Mr. 

 Robert Kidston, F.R.S.E., F.G.S, both of Stirling. The 

 paragraphs are numbered in continuation of my last 

 paper. 



28. NEW RECORDS FOR ROXBURGHSHIRE. In September 1893 

 Mrs. Carphin sent me a number of shells collected in the county of 

 Roxburgh (16 species), all of which, with one exception, were "new 

 records " for the county in the strictly limited sense in which that 

 expression is used in these papers. From Faldonside Loch were 

 collected \\ilvata piscinalis (a few), V. cristata (a few), Pisidiiun 

 iniliii/n = roseum (one), P. piisillitin (a few), Physa fontinalis (a few), 

 Planorbis albus (several), PI. contort us (a few), /'/. fontanus = nltidits 

 feff. (two, small), Limnica fmlttstris (two, small), L. auricitlaria var. 

 acuta (two, young), and L. peregra var. lacitstris (two) ; the last- 

 named being the one species sent which is not new for the county. 

 From Faldonside came Carychinm minimum (numerous examples) 

 and Hyalinia nitida (several), and from Elwand, near Melrose, were 

 sent Helix p\gnuca, H. acnlcala, and Buliminus obscurus (two of each). 

 This consignment brings up the total list of authentications for the 

 county to 41 species as against 26 in my original paper. 



29. NEW RECORDS FOR SELKIRKSHIRE. A consignment of 

 shells collected by Mrs. Carphin at Clovenfords, in the county 

 of Selkirk, brings up the total for that area to 37 species, the 

 additional ones being Hyalinia nitidiila (several), H. nitida (a few), 

 H. pura var. margaritacea (one), Sucdnea elegans (two), Pupa cylin- 

 dracea (a few), Planorbis contortus (a few), Limncca palustris (two, 

 small), and Pisidiiun fontinale (in abundance). With them were 

 sent a specimen of Helix hispida and several of its variety albida, 

 the species being one that has already been placed on record. 



30. NEW RECORDS FOR LINLITHGOWSHIRE. To Mrs. Carphin 

 we are indebted for three additions to the Linlithgowshire list, bring- 

 ing its aggregate up to the, as yet, meagre total of 39. The shells 

 sent are single examples of Planorbis nautileus and Helix fiygmcea, 

 collected at Dalmeny, and a few Vertigo edentula from Craigiehall
