280 The Irish Naturalist. September, 



Llmax marginatus, Miill. -The commonest species of the genus, and, 



although the weather was so hot and dry, it was taken in nearly 



every locality visited. 

 Agriolimax agrrestls, L. — Very common everywhere. The white 



form was taken at Carrigrohaue (Standen), and on the extreme point 



of the Old Head of Kinsale (R. Patterson). 

 A. Iaevis, Miill. — Common at Ballyphehaue, The Gearagh, Lough 



Allua, Blarney, and Simon's Cove (Hindi). 

 Amalia Sowerpyl, Fer. — Typical specimens were taken at Youghal 



(Balfour Browne), Ardsallagh, Carrigrohane, Ballinspittal, and in 



Cork City. At Upper Aghada a large specimen was taken, very 



much like Amalia marginatus. Drap., a species hitherto only found 



on the Continent. (See Messrs. Taylor and Roebuck's notes in the 



introduction.). 

 A. gagates, Drap. — Much the same range as the last species— Blarney 



(var. plumbca), Glendine Castle (R. Patterson), Rostellan and Kinsale. 

 Helix pygmaea, Drap. — Occurred in moss shakings from Glendine 



and Lough Allua (Standen), and was taken under stones, with 



Succinea oblonga^ at The Gearagh. 

 H. rotundata, Miill. — Common in all localities visited. 

 H. rupestris, Drap. — Evidently well distributed throughout the 



count}'— Ballyphehane, Youghal, Ardsallagh, The Gearagh, Aghada 



church, and Doneraile. 

 H. pulchella, Miill.— Exceedingly scarce, and only taken at Youghal, 



Blarney, and in moss on a bridge at The Gearagh. The var. costata 



was not noted anywhere. 

 H. aculeata, Miill. — Not abundant anywhere— Lough Allua, Blarney, 



and in moss shakings from Rostellan (Standen). 

 H. Iamellata, Jeff. — Fairly common in moss shakings from the old 



woods at Glendine and Lough Allua, but was not found in Mid or 



East Cork, where it no doubt occurs. 

 H. hispid a, L.— Not as common as the next species, but generally 



distributed— Glendine Castle, Ardsallagh, Carrigrohane, Blarney, 



Rostellan, Farrangalway, and Gougauebarra. 

 H. rufescens, Penn.— The type common everywhere, and the var. 



rubens in most localities. 

 H . f usca, Mont.— Rare, and was only taken in East Cork and Waterford. 



Dead shells among Luzula at Glendine, and a few living examples 



on Iris, with Succinea putris, in the marsh at Rostellan. 

 H. vlrgata, Da Costa.— Only seen on the small stretch of sand west of 



Youghal and near Youghal bridge, in which localities it was very 



plentiful. 

 H. Intersecta, Poir.— Well distributed, but nowhere common. Bally- 

 phehane, Youghal, Ardsallagh, Carrigrohane, and Rostellan. 

 H. ericetorum, Miill.— Found in one spot only— on a roadside bank 



one mile south-west of Youghal railway station.
