NOTES. i 
with the form figured by Kobelt in his Fauna Moll. Jap. Kobelt had 
also wrongly referred his shells to Newcomb’s species, but he had tran- 
scribed the name incorrectly as ‘‘ Helix Blakei.” Dr. Pilsbry’s suggestion 
was that the form under consideration, which he at first thought to be 
identical with HLulota luna, should be known as Lulota Blakei, Kobelt, 
a name involving quite a different meaning and therefore sufficiently 
distinct from #. Blakeana, Newe. This suggestion was adopted by me in 
my second Report (tom. cit., pp. 74, 79). G. K. GUDE. 
Nore oN THE PAIRING oF PYraumpULA RoTUNDATA (MULL.) witTH 
VirreA LucipA (Drap.). (Read 13th Dec., 1901.) — Last September, 
when looking for molluscs in the department of Gard (France), I observed 
at La Foulx, on the damp and shady bank of the little stream which rises 
at St. Bonnet near the well-known Roman Bridge, an instance of pairing 
between Pyramidula rotundata (Miill.) and Vitrea lucida (Drap.). On 
carefully separating the two individuals a few minutes later, I obtained 
proof that connection was absolutely established. 
Hybrid connection between different species has already been reported. 
Rossmniissler saw Helix nemoralis united with H. hortensis. Astier saw 
at Grasse (Alpes maritimes) Rumina decollata with Helicella variabilis ; 
Gassies, the same Rumina with Zonites algirus, and Helicella variabilis 
with Helix Pisana. Lecoq observed in the same state near Anduze (Gard) 
Helix nemoralis with Helix aspersa, and Clausilia bidens with Pupa similis 
(Moquin-Tandon, Hist. nat. Moll. France, tom. i, p. 232), 
I do not think that offspring resulted from any of these ill-assorted 
unions. E. Cazior. 
Cxavsiz1A BrpticATA (Mont.) 1v Hertrorpsuire. (Read 10th Jan. 
1902.)—This species has appeared in the Hertfordshire list in Taylor & 
Roebuck’s “ Record,” but in none of the published county lists. Going 
through the Conchological Society’s Records on which Taylor & Roebuck’s 
work is founded, I ascertained that the specimens were in the collection 
of the Rev. Canon A. Merle Norman, who kindly exhibits them to-night. 
There is no doubt as to the correctness of the identification of the 
species, and it is presumable, for Pickering was a very careful man, 
that the county is correct. The exact locality of occurrence would, how- 
ever, be of great interest, and it is in the hope that some Hertfordshire 
naturalists may be induced to take up the question and solve the problem 
that attention is now drawn to the subject. B. B. Woopwarp. 
ACANTHINULA LAMELLATA (JEFF.) IN BUCKINGHAMSHIRE AND Berx- 
SHIRE, (/tead 10th Jan. 1902.)—Until a few weeks ago the most southerly 
recorded occurrence in the living state of Acanthinula lamellata (Jeft.) was 
at Cotton Dale, North Staffordshire (Journ. Conch., vol. vi, 1890, p. 254) : 
now, however, this interesting little species has been found much further 
south. Mr. Alfred Leicester has sent me specimens from a depression in 
the Chiltern Hills called “Daniels Hole,’ just above Aston Clinton. 
Mr. W. Holland, of the Oxford University Museum, obtained a single 
specimen in March, 1888, from a dry ditch by Theale Lock (Kennet side), 
near Reading. This latter locality consequently represents the present 
‘furthest south’ of the species in England, though in Pleistocene times 
it was found as far as West Wittering, on the shores, or nearly so, of the 
English Channel. These specimens have now been presented by their 
respective discoverers to the British Museum.
