I9IO. Phiujps. — The Noji- Marine Mollnsca of Inishvwre. 117 



H. ncmoralis, L.--The dry weather prevented my seeing as mucli of 

 tliis species as I expected. I obtained a few specimens of the cha- 

 racteristic large form high up on the elevated limestone between 

 Kilronan and Killean}' ; at lower levels and along the coast the 

 specimens are not remarkable for size. Var. libellula, with and 

 without bands, is the commonest colour form, a large proportion of 

 them being white-lipped. The var. rubella, all bandless and some 

 having pink lips, also occurred in fair quantit}', as well as a few 

 specimens of var. olivacca. On the mountain limestone of the main- 

 land between Black Head and Lisdoonvarna, just opposite the Aran 

 Islands, the same large race is widely distributed, its variation in 

 colour and banding being much greater there than on the island. 



H. aspersa, Mlill. — Common throughout, but mostly hidden for want 

 of moistui-e. I did not see var. exalbida in a living state, but in the 

 little hotel my attention was attracted b^' a home-made picture 

 frame, the corners of which were ornamented with sixteen fine 

 specimens of this handsome vShell. I was informed that the frame 

 was made by a local policeman. 



Cochlicopa lubrica, Miill. — Occurred in nearly all the damp places 

 examined. Var. viridula was found near Bungowla. 



*Pupa angelica, Fer. — In moss on rocks by the lake near Kilronan, and 

 with Succiiiea oblonga by a spring at the extreme west of the island. 



P. cylindracea, Da Costa. — Common and sometimes ver}' large. 

 Vars. ctirta and albina were collected. 



P. muscorum, L.— Recorded by Mr. Stauden {/ojir. Conch. ^ vol. viii., p. 

 182.) 



Vertigo pygmaea, Drap.— Frequent throughout, and variable in size. 



V. anti vertigo, Drap. — Found sparingly by Mr. Stelfox (/. N. 1907, p. 

 360.) 



\v. jHoulmsia?ta, Dupuy.— Recorded by Dr. Scharff (/. Af., vol. i.), but 

 subsequently withdrawn (/. A''., vol. xii., 1903, p. 14.)] 



*BaIea perversa, L. — On a rock between Kilmurvy and The Seven 

 Churches I found a small portionof this shell, just sufficient to show 

 that the species exists on the island. 



Clausilia toidentata, Strom.— Common on rocks and stones every- 

 where, and on trees at Kilmurv}'. 



♦Succinea oblonga, Drap. — I had almost given up hope of findmg 

 this genus represented on the island, when, to my surprise, this rare 

 species turned up by a small elevated spring at the extreme west. 

 The spot was bare and exposed, but the mollr.sks found shelter in a 

 small fringe of Creeping Willow {Sallx repens) growing on the edges 

 of the spring. I got about fifty adult shells, all dead but in good 

 condition, and saw numerous juvenile living specimens. 



*CarychiuiYi minimum, Miill.— Common in all damp places. 



*Limnaea peregra, Mull.- Plentiful m each of the four little lakes. 

 Var. Boissyiy<2L^ the prevailing form, but some specimens from near 

 Kilmurvy have been referred by Mr. J. W. Taylor to var. acuvmiata. 



*L. truncatula, Miill.— In all the lakes and in the spring near which 

 Sttccinea oblonga occurred. The specimens are nearly all var. elegans.
