 rock by the Rev. Mr. lyctt. He also sent me at the same time Cochlicopa 

 lubrica from the same locality.

An abnormal Solen slllqua, L. 



Mr. R. Welch, of Belfast, has submitted to me a remarkably shaped 

 shell of this species, found at Ballyholme, Co. Down, by Mr. W. Swanston, 

 in 1896, The peculiarity of the specimen lies in its being strongly 

 curved laterally, that is, in a plane at right angles to the direction of 

 curvature in the var. arcuata, Jeff. When the shell is viewed from above 

 the curve is seen to form the arc of a circle approximately 43 cm. (17 

 inches) in diameter. The convex right valve measures 19 cm. in length. 

 Now, although I have before seen specimens of Solen and Ceratisolen more 

 or less laterally bent, such examples were always found, on close scru-
