a 
394 HELIX PISANA. 
Oxford—Mr. W. E. Collinge recorded (Sc. Goss., 1890, p. 92) the finding of a 
specimen on the railway embankment at Charlbury. 
Derby—Mr. E. Collier introduced a quantity of this species into an apparently 
suitable position at Monsal Dale, but the experiment was not successful. 
Glamorgan—Dr. Gwyn Jeffreys in 1862 recorded two attempts, at an interval 
of three years, to acclimatize this species on Swansea Burrows, and though at first 
the immigrants appeared to thrive, they afterwards seemed to disappear; but in 
the autumn of 1874 Mr. R. Rimmer found that far from being extinct on the 
Burrows, they had increased immensely in numbers, and even in 1883 they were 
found by Mr. E. Collier to be quite common, especially near the starting-place of 
the old tram-line to Oystermouth; but a few years later—in 1887 —the Rev. Canon 
Horsley reports the species as decadent and far from common, while Mr. H. Rowland 
Wakefield now entirely omits it from his list of Swansea shells, as he has regularly 
and persistently searched the distriet for some years past, in conjunction with the 
local Field Club, without finding a trace of a single shell, though recently he has 
picked up a few dead specimens at Singleton. 
Pembroke—In marvellous abundance on the grassy slopes about Tenby, and 
ranging along the coast from Saundersfoot on the north, to Manorbier on the south, 
and extending inland in places about a mile. 
Colonel Montagu in 1803 first discovered the species here, and described it as 
occurring ‘‘on the rocks that verge the town of Tenby, on the south, close to the 
sea; and on the sands to the west of that place, contiguous to the shore”; and 
numerous later observers have confirmed the accuracy of the record. 
Mr. A. G. Stubbs, who has especially studied the distribution of the species 
ahout Tenby, has described it as very abundant about the town of Tenby, especially 
on hillocks near the sea and around Black Rock, also plentiful on the south-west 
slope of Castle Hill; along the South Cliff, especially beneath the Esplanade ; in 
Jubilee Gardens ; on the burrows and railway banks and on the south-west side 
of St. Catherine’s Rock; at the opposite side of the rock the shells are much rarer 
but higher spired and of larger size yet never with rosy lips. 
To the south it abounds all along the burrows to Giltar Point, it is found at 
Penally, and is plentiful on Caldy Island, and along the cliffs from Giltar nearly to 
Lydstep, and also at Manorbier still further to the west. 
To the north it is occasionally found at Saundersfoot, but was found plentifully 
there in 1883, on a piece of sandy ground not far from the sea, by Mr. C. Jefferys. 
York N.E.—Specimens sent to Mr. J. Cosmo Melvill by General Tripe are 
labelled ‘‘ Scarbro.’ ” 
Northumberland and Durham—As Helix cingenda it is recorded by Mr. Alder 
as found by Mr. W. Robertson on the sea banks of Northumberland and Durham, 
but without precise locality, but said to be certainly either at Seaton Sluice, Bam- 
borough, or Hawthorn Dene. 
SCOTLAND. 
Sutherland E.—Mr. W. Baillie in 1886 established a colony at Brora, which 
survived the winter, and some were still to be found in the spring of 1889, and 
may possibly still exist there. 
IRELAND. 
Louth—Mr. W. Thompson in 1840 recorded the finding of this species by Mr. 
Joseph Humphreys on the north side of the River Boyne about three miles east of 
Drogheda; Dr. Kinahan in 1854 recorded it from Baltray, and its occurrence there 
was confirmed in May 1904 by Mr. P. H. Grierson, who in September of the same 
year also discovered the species to exist at Termonfecken and Clogher, the latter 
the most northerly habitat yet known for the species; while Dr. Scharff has recorded 
the finding of this species by Miss Sidney Smith at a place a few miles north of the 
River Boyne. 
Meath—This species was first noticed as Irish in 1818, in Pennant’s British 
Zoology, vol. iv., p. 369, the specimens being collected by Mr. J. O'Kelly on the 
north side of the Delvin, the stream which separates Dublin from Meath. Dr. Farran 
in 1854 recorded its occurrence about Laytown, Bettystown, and up to Drogheda. 
Dr. Scharff discovered it to exist at Julianstown, June 1894! and Mr. P. H. Grierson 
found it at Mornington, Oct. 1904 ! and also confirmed Dr. Farran’s record of its 
existence at Laytown !
