LAND AND KUESH-WATEK MOLIUSCA OF BCTE. 177 



Bpecinien of Helix riifescens at Ettrick Bay, but I did 

 not observe this inolluse here or elsewhere within 

 the area examined. 



When at Ettrick Bay I had a hunt round for the 

 Horned Poppy (Glauciunt luteum) which used to 

 grow by the side ol' a little burn that runs into the 

 bay, but failed to find it. I hope that it has not 

 become extinct. 



St. Ninians District. 



Helix ericetoruin, which Haddin recorded as having 

 been observed here, still exists, but apparently is not 

 very common. With this exception, all the molluscs 

 observed about St. Ninians Bay were common species. 



Ascog and Kerrykroy District, 



The only place where I observed Planorhis spirorhis 

 was in a j)ond above Ascog Bay ; and in the wood 

 by the shore, near the enti'ance to the old coal-mine, 

 I got the curious little Helix acvleata, as well as 

 Vertigo edeiitula. Some of the commoner molluscs, 

 such as Pupa umbilicata, were plentiful in this 

 district. Haddin records finding Pupa ringens in 

 Mountstuai't Wood ; but I did not observe this 

 species in any of the localities examined, and have 

 included it in the list on his authority. 



I have now made a general though hasty refer- 

 ence to the more or less noteworthy molluscs found 

 within the area described. A full list follows of all 

 the species known to occur in Bute, including those 

 recorded by Haddin but which I failed to observe. 

 A map is appended of the portion of Bute specially 

 referred to in this paper.
