1907- STKI.FOX. — L. 6° F- W. Mollusca of Galway 6 s District. 359 



Point, Dog's Bay, were of the yellow form, while those from Eara- 

 walla Point were all var. rubella. These two habitats are only 

 separated by about half a mile of sand. The prevailing form was 

 undoubtedly var. libelhda, with a band-formula of 00000 or 00300. 

 The only white-lipped specimens which I saw were from Inishmac- 

 dara. This seems strange, as in West Donegal, a \ r ery similar locality, 

 var. albolabiata frequently outnumbers the type. Mr. Wright collected 

 a few specimens with rather remarkable band-formulae, viz; — 

 10305, 00340, 02305, 12300, 10345, 00005, 00305, and 003055. 

 H, aspersa, Mlill. — Very common in old walls throughout the dis- 

 trict. Abundant on Inishmore and Inishmacdara, and especially so 

 in the churchyard at Clare-Galway. In a field near Rouudstone Mr. 

 Wright discovered, among heaps of stones, a colony of very large 

 specimens, all var. tenuior, some having a band formula of 10005 and 

 10040. The var. exalbida was taken by Mr. Standen near Killeany on 

 Inishmore, from which locality several specimens were taken in 

 1895. The shells of this species taken from the Dog's Bay deposits, 

 like the H. nemoralis from this source, were remarkable for their 

 great thickness and weight. 

 Cochlicopa Iubrica, Mlill. — Common at Kilbeg, Ballindooley, 

 Clare-Galway, Ross, Inishmore, Ballynahiuch, Dog's Bay, and 

 Inishmacdara. 

 Pupa anglica, Per.— Two forms of this species were taken ; the first, 

 pale grey, short, and somewhat squat in appearance, was found in 

 the old woods at Kilbeg, Ross, and Ballynahiuch, while the second 

 was much taller, dark brown and very highly polished, and inhabited 

 the damper areas along the coast from Rouudstone to Ballinaboy. 

 P. cylfndracea, Da Costa.— Very abundant everywhere, Inishmore 

 and Inishmacdara included. The var. albina was taken on Inish- 

 more. 

 P. muscorum, L.— This species has been recorded by Mr. Standen 



from Dog's Bay, Inishmore, and Inishmacdara, but ve could not find 



any trace of live specimens on this occasion.] 

 Vertigo edentula, Drap Nowhere common, but was not searched 



for keenly. Specimens were taken at Kilbeg, Ross, Ballynahiuch, 



and in moss shakings from Dog's Bay. 

 V. Lilljeborgi, West.— Guided by Dr. Chaster we visited the habitats 



for this species at Ballynahiuch and Cregduff Loughs, where, after a 



very keen search, we were successful in finding a few specimens each. 



This shell lives among the rejectamenta of the lakes mentioned, 



which consists chiefly of the roots of Eriocaulon septangulare and the 



hollow stems of Scirpus lacustris. 

 V. pygmaea, Drap. — Common in most localities, including Inishmore 



and Inishmacdara. This species, like the rest of the genus, was 



noticeably commoner on the granite than on the limestone areas. 



All my specimens from Inishmore and most of those from Dog's Bay
