APPENDIX. 
Rather than entirely pass over those other divisions of the 
¥ Animal Kingdom which are represented in our neighbourhood, we 
have drawn up the following very imperfect list of Mollusca, Pisces, 
F Reptilia, and Mammalia, of which we have seen specimens excepting 
in a few cases when the contrary is stated.

MOLLUSCA. 
‘The land shells—unless it be the minute ones which are to be 
found under stones, and in similar situations—are comparatively 
searce, but the water shells are to be found in great abundance in 
most of our ponds, ditches, and water courses. We are indebted to 
Mr. Samuel Alcock for pointing out the rarest in the subjoined list. 
¥ FRESH WATER SHELLS. 
; ConcHIFERA—BIVALVES. 
_ yclas cornea, Common. Unsworth. 
©. rivicola. Peak Forest Canal, near Hyde. 
Pisidium pusillum. Common. Broadcar, near Bury. 
Anodonta cygnea. Hollins Vale. Hudcar. 
issena polymorpha. Peak Forest Canal, near Hyde.

Sao ea in ponds near Bury some years ago, but have not since been 
of.

P. complanatus. Unsworth. 
_ Physahypnorum. Bredbury.

PISCES. 
As is usually the case with large towns having small rivers, the 
_ State of the rivers and most of the small streams of Bury and its neigh- 
m bourhood is unfavourable for fish; yet the Irwell still contains some, 
_ though neither in great number nor variety. We have seen a quantity 
ay, of Gudgeons, Minnows, and Loaches from below Bury Bridge, and have 
_ tried them cooked, but they had a decided flavour of gas-tar. Most old 
- inhabitants can tell of the fishing there used to be in the river. We 
we heard of a man from Heywood who made his living some years 
s 0 by catching Eels, and selling them, and that his favourite piece of 
Water was about Bury Bridge, and how that angling matches were 
formerly held at Chest- Wheel Bridge, near Woodroad ; but so far as
