characteristic of it), Pisidiiun fontinale, P. pusilluin, P. 

 milium ( = roseuui), Limncea palustris, L. peregra var. lacus- 

 tris, Planorbis fontanus ( = nitidus], PL nautileus, PL albus, 

 PI. spirorbis, PI. umbilicatus ( = marginatus\ PL contortus, 

 PJiysa fontinalis, Valvata piscinalis, Sucdnea putris, and 

 Vertigo pygmcea var. quadridentata, sixteen species, from 

 Lochmaben. All of these are, with the exception of the L. 

 peregra, additions to the list of Dumfriesshire shells which 

 have passed the scrutiny of the Conchological Society's 

 referees ; the specimens have, with one exception, been 

 kindly presented to the Conchological Society's cabinet. 

 Numerous further additions may be anticipated to the 

 Dumfriesshire list, which, so far, only amounts to a total 

 of 38 species. 



I 2. HELIX PULCHELLA AND H. CAPERATA IN PEEBLES- 

 SHIRE. It is to Mrs. Carphin also that we are indebted for 

 an example of H. pnlchdla taken at Peebles, and one of H. 

 caper ata at Innerleithen, both additional authentications for 

 this county, for which we have now 36 species on record. 

 As Mrs. Carphin points out, it is interesting to find the last- 

 named species so far inland, as in Scotland it is more usually 

 found in districts bordering on the sea. 



13. ARION MINIMUS AND PlSIDIUM PUSILLUM IN 

 SELKIRKSHIRE. For these two additions to the county 

 list, which now numbers a total of but 29 species authenti- 

 cated, we are indebted to Mr. Wm. Evans, by whom they 

 were found at Tushielaw, loth July 1892. From this 

 place he also forwarded Cochlicopa lubrica and Hyalinia 

 crystallina, which have been already recorded for the county. 



14. LlMN^A GLABRA IN MIDLOTHIAN. From Mr. Wm. 

 Evans we have a couple of specimens of this species, collected 

 at Bavelaw Moss, near Balerno, i/th April 1891 : an import- 

 ant addition to the fauna of the county of Edinburgh. 



15. HELIX HISPIDA ( = CONCINNA) AND HYALINIA 

 PURA IN LINLITHGOWSHIRE. A consignment of shells 

 from this county so far back as the 1 8th October 1 890, 

 which has been mislaid and so escaped my attention, in- 

 cludes these two species, additional to my list. A number 

 of shells collected at Philpstoun on the date mentioned
