 liams creek and the other was in a 

 woods about two miles from where the 

 first specimen was found. 



Zonitcs fulvits. Draper, common.

 cept in extreme southern part of coun- 

 ty, it is reported as being plentiful in 

 that section. I have found a few live 

 specimens, with the variety, costata, 

 on tombstones in the cemetery. The 

 cemetery is full of cedar and maple 



trees, the cedars are mostly in the 

 center and the maples more to the 

 outer edge of the cemetery. Having 

 read about snails seldom being found 

 under cedar trees I thought I would 

 investigate and see how true the state- 

 ment was. 



After carefully investigating the 

 tombstones and ground under a great 

 many of the cedars, I failed to find any 

 snails excepting some Pupa arnifera, 

 and they ivere on the bark of a large 

 cedar.

 mon. 



After tramping mile after mile along

 streams.
