Helicella virgata. 



New Galloway, one (David Robertson; Kelvingrove Museum, 

 Glasgow, May 1913). This record requires confirmation or 

 further investigation. 



Helicella acuta. 



New Galloway, one (David Robertson; Kelvingrove Museum, 

 Glasgow, May 19 13). 



New Galloway, being completely an inland locality, seems 

 very unlikely as a station for this species, whose range in 

 Great Britain is exclusively confined to the coast-line of the 

 south and west from Sussex to Cape Wrath, the extreme N.W. 

 point of the island, and it is desirable that the papers of the 

 late Dr Robertson, which I believe are preserved in the 

 Kelvingrove Museum at Glasgow, should be examined for 

 further evidence. Since this was written, Mr Peter M'Nair has 

 been kind enough to refer to the Robertson MSS., which he 

 finds do not throw any further light upon the subject. 



Hygromia striolata (rufescens). 



Maxwelltown, 13th September 1890 (Wm. Evans); Castle 

 Douglas, same date, type and vars. rubens, albida, and

 March 1884) ; under dead leaves in garden near Kirkcudbright,
