66 THE NAUTILUS. 



try was too wet and the woods were too full of suow to be worked at 

 all, in fact it was only in places on the hill side that the snow had 

 melted. 



A broad sandy bar, some 5 or 6 miles long, cuts off the ends of 

 the bay at Barachois, leaving a narrow channel at one end : on this 

 bar I was surprised to find Pujxi mnscormn and Vcdlonia costata in 

 the sand under pieces of wood. Z. radiatuhis, P. striatella, A. harpa 

 and F. subcylindrica occurred here rarely, as well as a Vertigo, of 

 which two specimens only were taken. 



Helix hortensis was very common on the hillside, generally buried 

 in the sand ; several varieties were taken ; the plain form seemed to 

 be the least abundant. At the entrance to some burrows I found 

 quite an accumulation of empty shells, and nearly all being entire, 

 many were in very fair condition. 



A. little collecting under more favorable circumstances would no 

 doubt materially increase this list, from which several of the North- 

 ern or universally distributed species are absent. 



At Gaspe Basin, Limnea palustris, catascopium, desidiosa, and 

 one Physa, most likely heterostropha, were found in drift. Some 

 marine species were also taken, but are not yet identified.

Vertigo. Two specimens (perhaps two species). 



Ferussacia subcylindrica Linn. Common. 



Succinea obliqua Say. " 



" avara Say. A few.
