by Messrs. Chaster and Collier to Killaruey, but also those made b}' Mr. 

 Welch ill May last. For convenience of reference I have used the 

 nomenclature and classification employed by Dr. Scharff in his " List of 

 Irish IMollusca." In all cases where a species was only taken by one 

 individual in a particular locality, the collector's name follows in brackets. 

 The Killarney records of IMessrs. Chaster and Collier are indicated by 

 their initials (C & C ) followinjy the locality. 



Vitrlna pellucida, Miiller, — A small thin form, living, at Loo 

 Bridge, and Rought}- Bridge. A few dead shells from moss-shakings. 

 Mucksna Wood, and Sheen Waterfall ; it occured also near the 

 Southern Hotel, and in a glen above Galwa3''s Bridge (Welch). 



Hyalinia cellaria, Miiller.— Fairly abundant everywhere, but not 

 very large, as a rule. Some good-sized specimens from Mucksna Wood 

 and Tore Wood possess all the outward characteristics oi H. Drapamaldi 

 Beck, but Mr. W. Moss, to whom they have been submitted, informs me 

 that the genitalia and radula show them to be H. cellaria, although the 

 shells are not typical of that species. The animals are all light coloured. 



H. alliaria, Miller. — Plentiful, along with var, viridula, in St. Finan's 

 graveyard, Keumare demesne, Mucksna Wood, Galway's Bridge 

 (Welch), Tore Woods (C. & C). 



H. nftldula, Drap. — Loo Bridge, along with var. Helmii. The type 

 only at Sheen, St. Finan's, Rough ty Bridge, and other localities, and 

 mostly small in size. On an island in Middle Cloonee Lake a remarkably 

 thin fragile form of var. Helinii, almost as thin as Vitnna, Occurred, but 

 the tj'pe was not observed. 



H. pura, Alder.— According to Dr. Scharffs List, this is hitherto un- 

 recorded for Kerry. We found a few specimens in Mucksna Wood, at 

 Loo Bridge, Sheen (Welch), and in woods near the Tunnel, Killarney, 

 All these were the whitish form erroneously named "var. margaTitacea''^ 

 by Jeffrej'S — but which is reall}- Alder's type. The brown form — var. 

 vitidosa — occurred along with the type in Tore Woods (C. .& C.J. 



H. radiatula, Alder. — Occurs everywhere, in suitable situations, 

 and is quite the commonest of the Hyalinia in the district. The var. 

 viridescenti-alba is more plentiful than the type. The North American 

 Zonites viriduhts is identical with our Hy. 7-adiatida^ and it is at least some- 

 what curious, that in the case of S. W. Ireland, where American types of 

 plants and insects occur, most of the specimens should be the greenish 

 variety, which is comparatively rare in other parts of Ireland, and 

 decidedly so in England. The American form was named Z. radiatuhis 

 var. alhts by Jeffrey's {Ann. Mag. N. H. 1S72, p. 245). 



H, crystal I ina, Miiller.— Common at Sheen, Loo Bridge, and 

 Mucksna Wood, A few at Rough ty Bridge, Kenmare demesne, Galway's 

 Bridge (Welch), and on island in Middle Cloonee Lake. Occurred amongst 

 rejectamenta of Muckros Lake, and in Tore Woods (C. & C), Gap of 

 Dunloe (Chaster), and at Strickeeu Wood (Farran). Near GleugarrifF 

 Tunnels it was found three inches below surface of ground in banks of a 

 stream.
