GEOMALACUS MACULOSUS. 261 
the tunnel on the road between Kenmare and Glengariff (id., Proc. Mal. Soe., 
Oct. 1893, p. 18). On an old moss-covered wall, about sea-level, near Garinish Point, 
May 1893, David MeArdle. Common along the shores of Inchiquin Lake, April 
1899, A. W. Stelfox. Derreen, June 1899! W. Holbron. Abundant on damp cloudy 
days about Lower Cloonee Lake, and for a distance of about eight or nine miles as 
far as the western end of Mucksna Woods, Kenmare, resting on the dry stones of 
the dykes, and greatly resembling the clumps of moss and lichen thereon, but still 
more plentiful on damp rock surfaces and along the peat margins, close to the rocks, 
where they swarmed out of the hiding-places in the afternoon after five o’clock. 
This area, which is situate between Kenmare Bay and Berehaven, is evidently the 
metropolis of the species, as nowhere else are they so plentiful, though at Glen- 
gariff the specimens are finer, May 1897, R. Welch. Waterville, Aug. 1904, Prof. J. 
Joly. A sub-var. of a greenish colour with yellow spots has been found at Kenmare

Trish Nat., Dec. 1905).
