8 THE SCOTTISH NATURALIST 



being written, sent a number of species which he collected 

 about Castle Douglas and Maxwelltown ; and about the 

 same time I received a number of slugs from the latter 

 place from Mr Robert Service, a naturalist to whom southern 

 Scotland owes much. About 1895 the Rev. G. A. Frank 

 Knight collected a few species at Gatehouse of Fleet. 



A single record of Acanthinula lamellata about 1890 

 was from the Rev. John M'Murtrie. 



In 1903 my friend Miss M. V. Lebour, of the Leeds 

 University, collected a few good things at Dalbeattie, and 

 she is the only observer who has taken Vertigo substriata 

 and Acicula lineata in this county; while in 1907 the Rev. 

 R. Godfrey sent a number of records from Kippford, near 

 Dalbeattie. 



In 1912 my old friend Mr Edward Collier, of Manchester, 

 sent a number of slugs and snails from Creetown, on the 

 western border, a locality which he has been the only one 

 to collect in ; and in the same year the Rev. W. H. Daubney, 

 of Bury St Edmunds, who is not a malacologist, sent me a 

 few slugs from Maxwelltown, on the eastern border. 



As to the literature of the subject, I am not aware that 

 any list has ever been published, except in my own " Census 

 of Scottish Land and Freshwater Mollusca," in the 

 Proceedings of the Royal Physical Society of Edinburgh for 

 1889-1890, vol. x., 1891, pp. 437-503, in which I gave 

 localities for fifty-three species. 



This was supplemented by notes as follows : Limax 

 flavus [and L. maximus\ in Kirkcudbrightshire (Ann. Scot. 

 Nat. Hist., April 1892, p. 105); and Kirkcudbrightshire 

 Limnsese (op. cit., July 1895, p. r 5 2 )- 



The following casual notes were published in the old 

 Scottish Naturalist : F. Buchanan White and R. Wood on 

 Bythinia tentaculata m. decollation (Scot. Nat., 1874, ii. 274); 

 and R. Rimmer on the occurrence of Vertigo pusilla and 

 three other species (Scot. Nat., 1881, vi. 61); while Dr F. 

 Buchanan White's important " List of Scottish Land and 

 Freshwater Mollusca" (Scot. Nat., 1873, vol. ii.) contains 

 Kirkcudbrightshire records on pp. 167, 205, 207, 209.
