160 The Presidents of the Lincolnshive Naturalists’ Union. 
His pen, however, has not been confined to sporting topics, 
for Mr. Walter is an excellent local antiquary, and he has 
published “ Records of Woodhall;’’ ‘‘ Records of (32) Parishes 
round Horncastle;” and ‘A History of Horncastle,” as well 
as divers smaller works. 
He is also an amateur sculptor in wood, and has carved 
pulpit, reading-desk and lectern, in oak, for each of his two 
churches at Langton and Woodhall. His principal recreation 
is pedestrianism, and though no longer young he frequently 
walks twenty or thirty miles; and he has, in Switzerland 
and elsewhere, walked more than seventy miles in a single 
day. His house contains a remarkable collection of curiosities, 
antiquities and natural history objects from which he has 
at various times contributed to the County Museum, 
Lincoln. 
OCCURRENCE OF PISIDIUM SUPINUM—SCHMIDT—IN 
LINCOLNSHIRE. 
It is interesting to record living examples of a shell which 
for the last few years have been regarded as a Holocene fossil. 
On the 24th July, 1908, I succeeded in taking the above at the 
mouth of the Brant—div. 13 W.—when it was identified by 
Mr. J. W. Taylor. It is also recorded by Mr. J. E. Cooper 
in the Journal of Conchology, Feb. 1oth, 1909, page 294, as 
living in the Thames, in a sandy bottom with running water, in 
company with P. amnicum. In appearance it is very distinct 
from any other British Pisidium, being remarkably solid, sharply 
triangular, and very prominently beaked. As the conditions in 
which I took it were similar to those described by Mr. Cooper, 
there seems every probability of its occurring in other parts of 
the county.
