LIMN HID A. 49 
LIMNZA STAGNALIS, Linné. (Plate V, 1). 
Widely distributed in lakes, ponds, slow running streams 
and canals. Especially abundant in the moor rhines. 
Var. fragilis, Linné. 
Kennet and Avon Canal ; Cundall. 
Pennard Moor, near Glastonbury ! 
Var. labiata, Jeffreys. 
Clevedon; Cundail. 
Mons. sznzstrorsum 
Kenn Moor, near Clevedon; Norman. 
LIMN#EA GLABRA, Miller. 
Very rare. 
“ Messrs. Forbes and Hanley write of this Limneus, ‘ It 
occurs in several of our southern counties, especially in Wilts 
and Somerset. We have never succeeded in finding it, and it 
should probably be looked for on the eastern side of the 
county.” Norman. 
I found two bleached shells in a ditch at Bratton St. Maur 
in 1890. Repeated searches failed to yield any more, and I 
concluded they were probably dropped there by birds. I 
searched the extreme east of the county very carefully be- 
tween the years 1890-97 for this rare shell, but without 
success. Neither could I find it in Wilts, and its inclusion 
in the mollusca fauna of that county rests upon half-a-dozen 
specimens in the Haslemere Museum, collected at Great Bed- 
wyn by the late Frederick Townsend, F.L.s., in the year 1850. 
Gwyn Jeffreys, in British Conchology, 1862, remarks that 
it had been found in Wilts and Dorset, but makes no mention 
of Somerset. J. C. Mansel-Pleydell gives, in Mollusca of 
Dorsetshire, 1898, p. 22, five stations for it. 
Since writing the above, I have found this species in a ditch 
near Berrow. An examination of the Bratton St. Maur station 
shows that the shells were found in a Holocene deposit. 
AMPHIPEPLEA GLUTINOSA, Muller (= Limnea glutinosa, 
Muller). 
Very rare. The only Somerset record that I can find is that 
given in Vol. I (p. 102), of Gwyn Jeffreys’ British Concholoqy, 
which reads, “in a ditch near Dunster Castle, in Somerset- 
shire (Leach).” Jeffreys probably quoted from William 
Elford Leach’s Synopsis of the Mollusca of Great Britain, 
London, 1852, a book I have not seen. J.C. Mansel-Pleydell
