LIMNAlA GLABRA AS A SCOTTISH MOLLUSC 115 



it will show that it is quite boggy. The most conspicuous 

 plants are the exceedingly abundant Marsh Cinquefoil and 

 the Equisetum. 



The plants cited from the loch in Hennedy's Clydesdale 

 Flora show the boggy character of the habitat. 



It would be of interest to learn what is the exact 

 character of the particular place where the species occurred, 

 and what other species were actually with it. The loch 

 is cited as a locality for Planorbis contortns, Pisidium 

 fontinale, P. nitidum, and L. palustris, but the last is the 

 only one specifically mentioned as associated. 



East Kilbride is another Lanarkshire locality, from which 

 we have seen numerous examples in the Rev. G. A. Frank 

 Knight's collection. I regret that I have not been able to 

 obtain any information as to the nature of this station. 



V.C. 83. Edinburghshire. We have records for three 

 localities in this vice-county, and I am indebted to Mr Wm. 

 Evans, F.R.S.E., for information in addition to my own 

 records. The localities are three, Braid Marshes, Bavelaw 

 Moss, and Rosslyn. 



The Braid Marshes record rests on Rhind's Excursions , 

 second edition, 1836, p. 142 (it is not in the first edition), 

 and on a MS. entry in the books of the Royal Scottish 

 Museum as follows: "Braid Wood, Roy. Soc. Ed. 1859." 

 Lymncza elongata is the name used by Rhind. The site 

 of the Braid Marshes is now occupied by a skating-pond. 

 No further information has been obtainable. 



In 1 89 1, on the 17th April, Mr Evans took three or 

 four specimens by the side of Bavelaw Moss near Balerno, 

 which were seen and authenticated by us. He has since 

 noted it on many occasions, giving extracts from his diaries 

 as follows : 8th May 1895, hundreds of fine specimens in 

 a "water-hole" by side of Bavelaw Moss; 5th April 1902, 

 a good many; 15th May 1905, common, spreading. In June 

 1916 he could see none in the pool where they were formerly 

 so abundant, but found plenty in another some distance 

 away on the other side of the road, and also a few in 

 a shallow ditch. These pools are on the edge of a moor or 

 "peat moss." They are quite small, 2 or 3 yards across, and
