IvisT OF Species. 



Vitrlna pelluclda, Mull.— Generally distributed, but not plentiful, 



dead shells only. 

 Hyalinia cellaria, Miill.— Sparingly over the district during both 

 visits, partial to old graveyards ; Inishmurry. The fine specimens 

 some 12.75 mm., from Glen car prove to be the large non-typical 

 form, with dark cobalt or indigo animal, often mistaken for 

 H. Draparnaudi, It s common in parts of I^aucashire, the Isle of Man 

 and especially so in the glens near Ballycastle, Co Antrim (see 

 Adams, I.N., March, 1S98). Mr. J. W. Jackson kindly compared 

 them with special collections of typical H. Drapaniaudi in Manchester 

 for us. 

 H. alliaria, Miller.— Rare ever}- where ; Rosses Point, Raghly, Rock- 

 wood, Glencar, Church Island, Dromahaire, Inishmurry. The 

 greenish variety not noted anywhere. 

 H. nitidula, Drap.— More abundant than the two last. Rosses Point, 



Drumcliff, Lissadill, Raghly, Glencar, Rockwood, Inishmurry. 

 H. pura, Alder.— Fairly common among Hypnwn in suitable situa- 

 tions, usually the vslV. nitidosa ; a few of the type at Rosses Point, 

 Rockwood, and Swiss Valley. 

 H. radiatula, Alder— Rosses Point, Rockwood, Glencar, Church 

 Island. The var. viridescenti-alba, so common in Kerry and Antrim, 

 was noted only at Glencar. 

 H» crystallina, Mull. — The most abundant of all the Ifya/zmce, hut 



not met with on Inishmurry. Common in the shell pockets. 

 H. fulva, Mull, — Decidedly rare; Rosses Point, Raghly, Rockwood, 



Swiss Valley, Glencar woods, Dromahaire. 

 H. nitida, Mull. — Along a stream-side at Rosses Point; Lough Gill 

 shores at Tobernault; common with Stcccitiea elegans on Watercress in 

 a marsh near Carrowmore. 

 Arion atcr, L. — The previous dry season may possibly have accounted 

 for the scarcity of this species. At altitudes above about 1,000 feet, 

 the jet-black form only was noticed, and these were the only adult 

 specimens found. A few partly grown, at Rockwood and Rosses 

 Point, of the brown and lead-coloured forms. In 1900 also at 

 Inishmurry, Ballysadare, and Drumcliff. 

 A. subfuscus, Drap. — A few only at Lissadill, Slish wood (Rock- 

 wood), in the cave mouth at GlenifT (altitude about 1,400 feet) and 

 slopes below, and east end of the Swiss Valley. The only adult 

 specimen noticed was among those found at the cave. 

 A. hortensis, Fer.— Sparingly in each locality visited, mostly young 



specimens ; moderately common in September, 1900. 

 A. circumscriptus, Johust — Decidedly rare ; Lissadill Glen, below 

 Doonee Rock, Glencar near fall. Ballysadare and Dromahaire 

 Abbey, 1900.
