88 THE SCOTTISH NATURALIST 



[ Vivipara vivipara. 



We have seen, through the kindness of Dr G. Gordon, the 



original specimen recorded in his Moray list of 1854 from the 



mouth of the Findhorn ; it was evidently a ballast-shell, being 



bleached, much worn, and broken; and of course is no 



component of the Fauna of Elgin.] 

 Unio margaritifer. 



Elginshire (G. Gordon, 1890); River Spey, Nethy Bridge, 



two (G. A. Frank Knight, 191 1). 

 Anodonta cygnea. 



Elginshire (G. Gordon, 1890). 

 Splnerium cornenm. 



Elginshire, numerous (Elgin Museum, November 1890); near 



Elgin, var. gibbosa, with type {id.); near Elgin (G. Gordon, 



November 1890). 

 Pisidium fontinale. 



Near Elgin, numerous (G Gordon, November 1890). 

 Pisidium pulchellum. 



Near Elgin, Alex. Robertson (Elgin Museum, November 1890). 

 Pisidium pusillum. 



Near Elgin (G. Gordon, November 1890). 

 Pisidium nitidum. 



Near Elgin (G. Gordon, 1890). 

 Pisidium milium. 



Near Elgin (G. Gordon, November 1890). 



The list as given above is an authenticated one, 

 extracted from the Record-books of the Conchological 

 Society of Great Britain, every record being vouched for 

 by the inspection of specimens by the referees, Mr John 

 W. Taylor, M.Sc, the author of the splendid Monograph of 

 the Land and Freshwater Mollusca of the British Isles, which 

 is now in progress of publication, and myself for the Slugs 

 which constitute my own special study. 



The list includes eleven slugs, twenty-nine land and 

 twenty freshwater snails sixty species in all, or eight more 

 than in Gordon's list of 1854. 



The museum at Elgin is to be congratulated upon 

 possessing the local collections of Rev. Dr Gordon, and it 

 may be considered as containing the greater part of the 

 material upon which this list is based.
