characteristic of it), Pisidium fontinale, P. pusilhim, P. 

 milium ( = roseum), Limncea palustris, L. peregra var. lacus- 

 tris, Planorbis font anus ( = nitidus), PL nautileus, PI. albus, 

 PL spirorbis, PL. umbilicatus ( = marginatus), PL contortus, 

 PJiysa fontinalis, Valvata piscinalis, Succinea putris, and 

 Vertigo pygmcea var. quadridcntata, sixteen species, from 

 Lochmaben. All of these are, with the exception of the L. 

 peregra, additions to the list of Dumfriesshire shells which 

 have passed the scrutiny of the Conchological Society's 

 referees ; the specimens have, with one exception, been 

 kindly presented to the Conchological Society's cabinet. 

 Numerous further additions may be anticipated to the 

 Dumfriesshire list, which, so far, only amounts to a total 

 of 38 species. 



12. Helix pulchella and H. caperata in Peebles- 

 shire. — It is to Mrs. Carphin also that we are indebted for 

 an example of H. pulcJiella taken at Peebles, and one of H. 

 caperata at Innerleithen, both additional authentications for 

 this county, for which we have now 36 species on record. 

 As Mrs. Carphin points out, it is interesting to find the last- 

 named species so far inland, as in Scotland it is more usually 

 found in districts bordering on the sea. 



13. ARIOX MINIMUS AND PlSIDIUM PUSILLUM IN 



Selkirkshire. — For these two additions to the county 

 list, which now numbers a total of but 29 species authenti- 

 cated, we arc indebted to Mr. \Vm. Evans, by whom they 

 were found at Tushielaw, 10th July 1892. From this 

 place he also forwarded CocJdicopa lubrica and Hyalinia 

 crystal Una, which have been already recorded for the county. 



14. Limn.ka GLABRA IN MIDLOTHIAN. — From Mr. YVm. 

 Evans we have a couple of specimens of this species, collected 



at Bavelaw Moss, near Balerno, 17th April 1 89 1 : an import- 

 ant addition to the fauna of the count)- of Edinburgh. 



15. Helix hispida (=concinna) and Hyalinia 

 pura in Linlithgowshire. — A consignment of shells 



from this county so far hack as the [8th October 1 890, 

 which has been mislaid and so escaped my attention, in- 

 cludes these two species, additional to my list. A number 

 of shells collected at Philpstoun on the date mentioned
