90 The Irish Naturalist April, 



in Carnboy Lough and illustrated in my notes on our 1905 

 visit, but the}' are much larger and all of a rich brown colour. 

 In the same pool were also living many contorted specimens 

 Q){ PI an or bis 7iauiileus^ a few of my specimens having a distinct 

 spire. The Aplexa hypnorum were taken by Mr. Milne on the 

 elevated bogg3^ area which covers the greater portion of the 

 island. Both Inishmeane and Gola, like the mainland, are 

 composed of granite, and covered with a considerable amount 

 of bog quite useless for sustaining a molluscan fauna. 



The following species were taken on Gola Island : — Agrio- 

 limax ag7'esiis, A. Icevis, A7'io7i ater^ A. horte^isis^ A. intermediiis^ 

 Vitri7ta ptlhicida^ Hyali7iia allia7-ia — type and var. imddula^ 

 Helix 7'otu7idata^ H. pidchella, H. erieetorum, H. 7ie7no7alis^ 

 II. aspersa (dead only), H. aciita^ Cochlicopa l7id7'ica, Piipa 

 cyli7id7'acea^ Li7)i7tcsa pereg7-ay L. trtmcatiila, and Pisidium 

 pusilbinu / 



On the 13th September we drove inland to Dunlewy, and 

 were rewarded with a few interesting finds. Hyali7iia excavata 

 occurred much more commonly in the wood at Dunlewy 

 House than in 1905, while Helix fusca was an addition to our 

 list for this locality. There is a nice little form of Lim7i£Ea 

 peregra to be found in the lough ; but the latter, being so 

 much above its usual level, not many specimens could be 

 procured. >5ear Dunlewy House Mr. Wright turned up some 

 specimens of Helix 7iemo7'alis of the same fragile form which 

 is found in some of our moist old wooded districts, and 

 recorded from Glenveagh in 1905. Some of these were 

 almost as difficult to handle when cleaning as Helix fiisea, 

 owing to the extreme tenuity of the shell. 



14th September. — Moving our headquarters to Sweeney's 

 Hotel, Burton Port, we invaded new ground, and on the same 

 afternoon worked Cruit Island, where the following list was 

 made ; — Agrioliinax ag7'tstis^ A. lavis, Li7nax ma7'gi7iattis . A7'io7i 

 ater^ A. i7itermedius, Vitri7ia pelhicida, Hyali7iia allia7ia — type 

 and var. vi7'id2ila^ Helix pygmcea, H pulchella and var. costata^ 

 H. ericetor7i7?i, H. 7iemoralis, H. aspersa, H. aciita, H. rot7i7idata, 

 H. hispida, Carychiiwi 7}ii7ii77t7i77t^ Cochlicopa 7'tib7'ica, Pupa nms- 

 coriinif Vertigo pyg7ncBa, V. a7itive7tigo, Succi7iea elega7iSt Li7n7ia:a 

 peregra, L. trimcatula, Pla7iorbis 7ia7itilens, P.giaber, P. spiro7bis, 

 Pisiditwi piisillum, and P. 7?iili7im.
