The other additions to the fossil fauna of 

 the Uphall Brickyard will be indicated 

 throughout this paper by an asterisk (*). 



I am able to list no less than eleven 

 additional land and freshwater moUusca, 

 thus bringing the total number from these 

 sections up to forty-eight. They are : — 

 ■■Agriolimax laevis (Miill.) ? 

 "^-Vitrea nitidula (Drap.) 



Hygromia hispida (Linn.) 

 '''Vertigo pusilla (Miill.) 

 '^'Succinea piitris (Linn.) 

 ''"S". oblonga (Drap.) v. elongata (Braun.) 

 Planovhis lineatus (Walker). 

 Pisidium fontinale (Drap.) 



V. henslotmanuni (Shepp.) 

 V. pnlcheUnm (Jenyns). 

 *P. milium (Held.) 

 '^'•P. pusillum (Gmel.) 

 There are now only six records which 

 I am unable to confirm, viz.: — Unio 'pidovum 

 (Linn.), Bythinia leachii (Shepp.), Planovhis 

 alhiis (Miill.), Planovhis covnens (Linn.), Pyva- 

 midnla rndevata (Stud.), Vitrea fulva (Miill.) 

 Specimens of the first three are preserved 

 in the British Museum (Natural History) 

 and in tiie Museum of Practical Geology, 

 but no examples are known of the remaining 

 shells, which, however, all occur in other 

 Pleistocene deposits in this country. Pyva- 

 midnla vudevata is the most interesting, for 

 although it ha? a wide distribution at the 

 present day on the mainland of Europe, it is 

 no longer an inhabitant of Britain, where it 

 is very rare as a fossil, one or two from 

 Copford and Clacton. and a single example 

 from Barnwell being the only specimens 

 extant. 



The occurrence of Succinea elongata is note- 

 ^ '5 o worthy, as it has not previously been recorded 

 i!,x.ZV: from this island, either fossil or recent, though 

 ^ ^ ° ■" it is still living on the Continent." 



See C. L. F. SANU13ERGER, DU Land unci Siissivasser Conchylicn lUr Vorwdt, where 

 the shell is figured.
