NOTES. 



BOTANY. 



Catabrosa aquatica, var. littoralis. 

 In Irish Naturalist, 1902, p. 203, Mr. Praeger quotes me for " Catabrosa 

 aquatica, var. littoralis Parnell = var. minor Bab." This is my mistake. 

 The correct segnonomy is as follows : — 



1. C. aquatica, var. littoralis Parnell, t. 102, 1842. 



C. aquatica var. littoralis Kittel, Tasch. Flora Deutschlands, ed. ii. 

 (1844), p. 102, ex Hackel. 



(2 to 3 flowered). 



2. C. aquatica /3 uniflora Gray, N. A. B. PL, 1821, p. 133. 



C. aqtiatica /3 siibtilis Hook., Brit. Flora, ed. iv., 1838, p. 36. 

 C. aquatica j3 minor Bab., Man. Brit. Bot., ed. i., 1843, p. 266. 

 (i flowered).

ZOOLOGY. 

 Land Mollusca from North Antrim. 



By request of Mr. W. Denison Roebuck, I have been collecting and 

 forwarding to him Slugs from North Antrim. It may be worth while 

 giving a list of the species found, as named by him : — Arion ater and 

 var. brunnea, A. subfuscus and var. cinereo-fusca, A. hortensis (abundant), 

 A. circumscriptus, A. minimus (rare) ; Limax maximus, and vars. 

 ferussaci, fasciata, cellaria ; Limax cinereo-niger var. vera (rare) ; L. flavus 

 and var. antiquorum ; Agriolimax agrestis and vars. reticulata, rufescens, 

 alba (rare) ; Milax sowerbyi, M. gagates var. rava. Miss M. Fitzgerald 

 of Oxford, and my sister, Miss G. E. O'Connor, were on Fair Head at the 

 time I was collecting, and both being on the look-out for me for finds, 

 Miss Fitzgerald found Limax cinereo-niger, var. vera, on grass, among 

 heather, near a marshy place. This was the second record for the British 

 Isles for this variety ; it has since been found at Cork (/. Nat., xvi., 370, 

 1907). With the exception of A. minimus, which we think was found up 

 Glenshesk, the rest were mostly taken from our garden.

Ornithological Notes from Londonderry, 1910. 



During the past year not much of importance has come under my 

 notice, but the following notes may be of interest. As usual the autumn 

 migration of Manx Shearwaters passed over our city, and Mr. E. M'Court 

 obtained a specimen which ahghted in a yard. On the 17th August last 

 a specimen of the Wood Sandpiper {Totamis glariola Gmelin) was shot 

 at Brenagh, Upper Lough Swilly, by Mr. G. B. Butler, R.M. On the 

 2nd November a cartman picked up a Fork-tailed Petrel (Oceanodroma 

 leucorrhoa (Vieillot) at Burt, Co. Donegal, about five miles from Derry. 

 It was evidently driven inland by the strong gale from N.W. on the night 

 of ist November. The two following records I was not able to verify
