Neotlnea Intacta in Co. Galway. 



A new locality may be added for Neotinea intacta in Co. Galway, as 

 I found it on May 16th growing with Dryas oclopelela (the latter sparingly). 

 Gentiana verna, Sesleria cczrulea, etc., on " Corbashly's Farm " near Castle, 

 Lambert, four miles inland, due east from Oranmore. It was not 

 growing among crags or rocks as in Burren, but on bare grassy clearings 

 between the heather, in scattered groups of from eight to fifteen plants 

 each. No doubt plenty more of it will be found in that district. I also 

 found a plant of Vicia Orobus not yet in flower.

Land and Freshwater IYIoIIusca of Clonbrock, Co. Galway. 



In a quantity of vegetable debris from about the roots of rushes in 

 marshy ground, kindly sent to me by the Hon. R. E. Dillon, I find, 

 among other species, the following additions to the Clonbrock list given 

 by Dr. vScharff in the Irish Naturalist, 1896, p. 223 \—Hyalinia nitida, a few; 

 Agriolimax /avis, four or five rather large specimens ; Helix pulchella, a 

 dozen or so; Vertigo antive>tigo, a dozen ; Carychiilin minimum, over 600 ; 

 and of Planorbis spirorbis and Ancylus laiuslris, one dead specimen each. 

 Of the rarer species already listed by Dr. Scharff, Hyalinia radiatula and 

 H. pura occurred sparingly with Helix pygnuea, while of Vertigo pygmaa 

 there were over 70 specimens.

Land Shells from Co. Limerick. 



Whilst collecting Land Mollusca last November at Galbally, Co. 

 Limerick, I obtained the shells mentioned below in a beechwood 

 adjoining the old churchyard, and in the Glen of Currane or Carrigan. 

 (about 2 miles north of Mitchelstown) Those from the latter are the 

 results of a small basketful of moss. They have been kindly named for 

 me by Mr. Welch. 



The following ten species were common to both places: — Hyalinia 

 radiatula, H. crystallina, H fulva ; Helix rotundata, H. hispida, H. rufescens, 

 H virgata ; Cochlicopa lubrica ; Pupa cylindracea ; and Carychium minimum. 

 Also in beechwood alone — Vitrina pelludda, Hyalinia nitidula, Helix 

 rupestris, H. aspersa ; Balca pe?-versa, and Clausilia bidentata. In the glen 

 alone — Hyalinia alliaria, H. pura; Helix lamellala, Vertigo edeulula, V. 

 vbstriata, Acme lineata— 22 species in all.
