82 The Irish Naturalist. [March, 



Mr. lyionel B- Adams collected fifty-two species in the 

 district on both sides of the Bann in 1883, including Vertigo 

 alpestrisy the first and only specimen obtained in Ireland, till 

 ten years later Mr. Standen sifted a few more specimens out 

 of the Portsalon '' pockets." 



In May, 1896, I obtained about a dozen species in a series 

 of small hollows between two dunes at east end of Whitepark 

 Bay, and in September of that year Mr. Standen and I 

 collected twenty-six species in the same place, including 

 Vertigo alpestris alive. These he lists in the Irish Nattiralist 

 for January, 1897, and on the Field Club excursion there six 

 months later an additional rare species — Acme lineata—^d^s 

 found. 



With Dr. Scharff's kind assistance I listed eighteen species 

 from the material collected from the Portsalon cliflf deposit 

 as follows : — Vitrina pelhicida, Hyalinia cellaria, H. Drapar- 

 naudi, H. 7iitidtilay H. crystallina, H. fulva ; Helix pii'chella 

 and var. costata, H. ericetoriim, H. acitta^ H. 7iemoral:s, H. 

 hortensiSf H. aspersa ; Cochlicopa Inbrica ; Pupa cyli7idracea, 

 p. muscorum ; Vertigo pygnicsa^ V substriata ; Carychium 

 minimum.

BY IvIONE^I, E. ADAMS, B.A, 



In the Irish Naturalist for July, 1897, I included Hy. Drapar- 

 7iaudi in the list of species from Murlough and Rathlin 

 Island. I now wish to withdraw this species, for the present 

 at any rate, for the following reasons : — 



There has been found in lyancashire and in the Isle of Man 

 a large form of Hyaliuia with a dark blue animal, which has 

 been placed under the name of Drapa7'7iaudi by greater 

 authorities than myself, the correctness of which I have only 

 recently questioned. This same form our party found on 

 Rathlin Island and at Murlough Bay, together with the 

 typical Hy. ccllaria with the pale-coloured animal. By the 

 kindness of Mr. R. Welch of Belfast I have been enabled to 

 examine a large series of specimens from Murlough, and
