September, 



Hyalinia nitidula, Drap.— Several specimens iu Legrehy. Very 

 high-spired and much dilated towards the aperture, which is 

 greatly depressed. 



H. crystallina, Mull.— Several young specimens in Legrehy. 



Helix rotundata, JMUll. — Common on the cliffs. Pale, small, and 

 rather flat. 



H. ncmoralls, Midi. — Very abundant on the cliffs at Balor's Castle 

 and at West Town in the old walls. The great majority of the shells 

 were thin and very brittle, and resembled in several ways the form 

 usually associated with woodland areas. Most specimens, also, were 

 white-lipped, but in one of the little sea-gullies near Port Doon, 

 which faced south, all but one had a dark peristome. The following 

 particulars of the various band- formulae, &c., observed, may be of 

 interest considering the isolated locality : —
