In West Kent, it is recorded by A. 8S. Kennard from a rainwash at Darenth,

IRELAND. 
In Antrim, Mr. R. J. Welch found this species quite common, wacten out by 
a small stream from an exposed old land surface, now overlaid by about 15 feet of 
blown sand at the east end of Whitepark Bay. 
In Donegal, Mr. Welch found . i/a/a commonly in the exposed earthy layers 
of an old land surface on the dunes at Narin, and also found examples in a vreyish 
sandy old land surface at Rosapenna, and in the later ‘‘ shell-pockets ” as well as in 
an old ‘ kitchen-midden ” of uncertain age. The species was also common among 
some remains of an old land surface at Tranarossan, Rosguill peninsula, while at 
Carricktin, Mullaghderg and Pollan bay he found it commonly in ‘ shell-pockets,” 
and less frequently at Bundoran under similar cireumstances. 
AX. (tala is also common in a deposit exposed in an ancient dune at Horn Head, 
discovered by Dr. Chaster and Mr. C. E. Wright, while Mr. Welch records it as 
present in myriads in a rainwash in an old dune on Tramore sandhills. 
Mr. A. W. Stelfox found it common in a rainwash in the sand dunes at 
Inishmeane, and also obtained specimens from a deposit of blown-sand and bands 
of black-earth representing flood deposits at the mouth of the Ray river, Falearragh., 
In West Mayo, Mr. Welch found two specimens of Verophila itala beneath a 
deposit of sandy peat in a marsh at Dooaghtry, Achill Island, and Dr. F. Corner 
found this species on the bed of a dried-up lough in the same island. Mr. Welch 
has also found examples in a section beneath a ‘‘ kitchen-midden,” exposed along 
the shore of the harbour on Clare Island. 
In West Galway is the famous deposit at Dogs’ Bay, Roundstone, discovered by 
. Glover, of Manchester, and first deseribed by R. D: Darbishire. It is deseribed 
as an old sward, which showed as a black band in the section of the sand hills, but 
this is now apparently represented by a grey layer of earthy sand, and A. ifala is 
common therein. On Inishbofin, it was found in a comparatively recent sand-dune 
(leposit in course of formation, and also in an earlier layer by Mr. A. W. Stelfox. 
In Clare, Mr. Welch found specimens of the present species in a rainwash of 
uncertain age at the Catacomb Caves, Edenvale; and Miss Diana Parkinson has 
detected it in the comparatively modern crannoge deposit at Clanreen. 
In Kerry, it is recorded by Mr. Stelfox from a blown-sand deposit by Dingle 
Harbour, and also in a by no means modern deposit at Ferriter's Cove, Smerwick.
