Mr. Stelfox from Lough Gowlanagower, on Inishbofin, West Galway, and 

 a few weeks ago found a single valve attached to a caddis-case from Lough 

 Tallanafrankagh, iSouth Galway, sent by Mr. R. A. Phillips. 



Whether the species belonged to the Lusitanian group, like the Kerry 

 slug {Geomalacus), or was of boreal origin, was in doubt till a few days ago, 

 when I received from Dr. Nils H. Odhner, of the Riksmuseum, Stockholm, 

 a quantity from South Sweden. 



Dr. Odimer's specimens came from the Takern See, Ostergotland, to the 

 east of Omberg, and close to the Wetter See. They occurred abundantly 

 in an area of a square metre and at about one metre in depth, amongst 

 Ckara, in company with P. subtnmcatum , P. Casertcamm, P. mtidurn, 

 P. milium, and P. LiUjehorgii.

XoTE o.v Lapparia Parki. {Read V2th April, 1912.)— Being 

 occupied with examining the type-specimens of the Tertiary fossils of 

 New Zealand, which were used by the late Captain Hutton when writing 

 hi.s Catalogue of the Tertiary Mollusca of Sew Zealand, 1873, I had before 

 me, a short time ago, his Voluta {Lyria) corruqata {Cat. Tert. Moll., p. 7). 

 The specimen being devoid of the protoconch, the curator of the Canterbury 

 Museum most kindly allowed me to examine a specimen with this part of 

 the shell in perfect condition. I was surprised to find a vei-y distinct 

 caricelloid pullus, and this at once reminded me of the immature shells 

 I described and figured in these Proceedings (vol. vii, p. 207, pi. xviii, 

 figs. 1, 2, 1907), under the name oi Lapparia Parki. I now consider them 

 to be absolutely identical with Lapparia corrugata, Hutton, and my name 

 therefore falls into synonymy of Mutton's species.
