Bath; Clark. 
Bristol ; Jeffreys. 
South. 
VIVIPARIDZ. 
VIVIPARA VIVIPARA, Linné (= Paludina vivipara, Linné). 
A very local species. I have seen specimens obtained in 
the neighbourhood of Dunster Castle, and there are shells 
from the Avon Canal in the museums of Bath and Bristol. 
‘* Found dead on the shore, others naturalised at Wins- 
combe”; F. A. Knight. 
Rare in the pond at Henbury, and at Brislington, 1863 ; 
T. G. Ponton. 
The river at Keynsham; Misses Hele. 
In the Froom; Stoddart. 
Kennet and Avon Canal; Cundall. 
Var. efasciata, Pickering (=unicolor, Jeffreys). 
Bath Canal; Bristol Mus. Coll. 
VIVIPARA CONTECTA, Millet (= Paludina contecta, Millet ; 
Paludina Listeri, Forbes and Hanley). 
A very rare species, of which only one record is known at 
present. “The Rev. W. R. Crotch and the Curator of the 
Bristol Museum inform us that they have taken this species 
near Weston-super-Mare. The latter met with it, we believe, 
near the railway station”; Norman. I failed to find it in the 
neighbourhood of Weston. 
VALVATIDZ-. 
VALVATA PISCINALIS, Muller. 
Generally distributed in ponds and sluggish streams. Messrs. 
Kennard and Woodward record it from an alluvial deposit at 
Castle Cary, and it was found in peat at the Glastonbury 
Lake-village. 
Var. acuminata, Jeffreys. 
River Avon, Bristol; Jeffreys. 
Taylor records (Journ. Conch., 1V, 173) the finding of a 
specimen at Yatton, by Miss F. M. Hele, which ap- 
proached the var. albina.
