Banffshire Molluscan Additions. I am again indebted to 

 Miss J. Gowan, of Cullen, for additions to the Banffshire list, as 

 follows: Pisidium subtruncotum, numerous examples which Mr 

 J. W. Taylor identifies as this species, some from among beech 

 leaves in a ditch in Crannoch Wood, Cullen, others from a ditch at 

 foot of Bin, Rathven parish, and others from a ditch leading into 

 mill-dam at Cruat's Farm, Portknockie, same parish, all 18th June 

 191 7; Pisidium pusillum, a few with P. subtruncatum, in a ditch 

 at foot of Bin, Rathven parish, 28th July 191 7; Pupa anglica from 

 the cliffs at Sunnyside in Fordyce parish, 30th July 191 7, one 

 amongst rank herbage and a number amongst wet moss and 

 liverworts ; small examples of Succinea putris were very numerous, 

 with a few Limncea peregra, in a small weedy stream close to the sea 

 near Cullen ; Succinea e/egans, a few amongst wet moss on the cliffs 

 near the mouth of Glassaugh Burn, Fordyce parish, 3rd August 

 1917; Acanthimda lamellata, several amongst dead beech leaves 

 under ferns in wood at foot of Bin, Rathven parish, 4th August 

 191 7 ; and Hygromia granulata of a rather flat form, several under 

 stones and on walls of ruined cottage near Boyne Castle, Boyndie 

 parish, 6th August 191 7. 



To her enthusiasm and assiduity we are also indebted for the 

 addition of the following to the Banffshire list : one or two Planorbis 

 crista, var. Icevigata, and a few Pisidium milium in a pond in Cullen 

 House grounds, Rathven parish, 24th August 1897; one Pisidium 

 pu/chelluvi, one Vertigo pygmcea, and a few Vallonia pulchella 

 taken in moss on Sandend Links, Fordyce parish, 27th August 

 1917. 



Miss Gowan's work has been most valuable as a contribution to 

 the working out of molluscan distribution in what I regard as an 

 important region from the point of view of northern limits, and I 

 should be glad to have assistance of a similar character from 

 Inverness-shire and all counties north of it. W. Denison Roebuck,

Porcellio lsevis, Latr., a Woodlouse new to the Scottish 

 Fauna. I have recently received this species from Miss JE. J. 

 Jardine, who collected it in company of P. rat/ikii, Br., and 

 P. dilatatus, Br., at Helensburgh, Dumbartonshire. From other 

 members of the genus it may at once be recognised by its 

 comparatively wide and smooth body, the elongated exopodites of 

 the uropoda, the form of the pleural plates of the mesosomatic 

 segments, and to a lesser extent by its colour. Walter E. 

 Collinge, St Andrews.
