Land andFresh-ivater Shells in the Neighbourhood of Preston. — Sir, As 

 you think a list of the species of land and fresh-water shells found in this" 

 neighbourhood may be interesting to some of your readers, I will endeavour 

 to furnish it. I have thought it better to make as complete a list of the 

 British land and fresh-water species as I am able *, distinguishing such as 

 occur in this vicinity by an asterisk. 



Any of your readers following the same pursuits, and desirous of becom- 

 ing possessed of species found here, will, at the same time, be thus fur- 

 nished with a list of those wanting, any one of which would be acceptable 

 fo the Preston collectors, and several of which are, doubtless, common in 

 many places within the range of your useful Magazine.
