1898. J StandKn. — Kenmare Conference. — Mollusca. il'i 



elongating its body to a most remarkable extent — after the manner of 

 Testacella — so as to enable it to enter very narrow crevices. Of this power 

 I had a striking illustration in some specimens Mr. Welch sent to me 

 from Kenmare last Ma}'. They were enclosed in an ounce " Navy Cut " 

 tobacco box, and during transit three had crawled through the small 

 holes — two millimetres in diameter — in ends of box, leaving a mass of 

 slime inside, which had been scraped off their bodies, and were found 

 inside the wrapper of the parcel apparently none the worse for their 

 experiences. 



Llmax maximus, L. — Fine typical specimens at Strickeen (Farran), 

 Killowen old church, Kilmakilloge (Bigger), Tore Woods (Chaster). 

 Some very large and beautiful examples of var. Ferrussaci occurred in 

 Kenmare Demesne, and on island in Middle Cloonee Lake, also at Loo 

 Bridge. 



L. inargrinatus, Mailer. — Common. Its slime tracks maybe seen 

 anywhere on the mossy tree trunks. Near Glengarriff Tunnels a damp 

 knot-hole in an old elm tree was found crowded with individuals of all 

 sizes, evidently seeking shelter from the heat. 



AgTioIimax a^rrestis, L- — Swarming everywhere; vax. phcmbca on 

 Glengarriff road, and var. sylvatica at Sheen, and Galway's Bridge, were 

 both noted. A dark purple variety was also found at Galway's Bridge 

 (Welch). 



A. lasvis, Miiller. — A very dark form at Mucksna Wood, several undef 

 logs near Loo Bridge, one at Roughty Bridge (Welch), a light-coloured 

 form under debris on river bank above Galway's Bridge, (Welch), Tore 

 Woods (Chaster).

 Tore Woods and near the cascade, Killarney (C. & C), and in rejecta- 

 menta of Muckros Lake (Chaster). 



Hi rotundataj Muller.— Generally distributed, but not particularly 

 abundant anywhere, except in Tore Wood (C. & C.)- Four specimens of 

 var. alba near St. Finan's ' holy well ' (Hardy). 



H. rupestris, Drap.— Common at Clady, Sheen, Killowen, and else- 

 where throughout the limestone district near Kenmare; off this area it 

 occurs mainh' on limestone walls, as at Mucksna (Stelfox). 



H. pulchella, Muller.— Type only. Occurs sparingly at Roughty 

 Bridge, Loo Bridge, St. Finan's, Killowen, and in Kenmare demesne.

 Loo Bridge (Chaster), Mucksna Wood, in rejectamenta of Muckros 

 Lake, and in Tore Wood (G. & C). 



H » lamellata, Jeff.— This exquisite little species occurred under Holly 

 bushes in a wooded glen at Inchiquin 5 and also in the same habitat near 

 Loo Bridge, and in the Tore Woods (C. & C). Common under Beech 

 leaves in the Wood just below the Southern Hotel ; and a few were taken 

 on cattle drop J)iligs on the wooded slopes stretchihg down from the
