424 Mr. W. Clark on two new species of Testaccous Mollusca.” 
Upon which passage Dr. Pegge, in his edition, observes: ‘‘ These 
bulls were probably buifaloes; see King Cnut’s Constitutiones de 
Foresta in Spelman’s Glossary, p. 241,’ [more correctly given in 
Thorpe’s Ancient Laws of England, 8vo. vol. i. p. 429. c. xxvii.] 
The passage is as follows :—‘‘ Sunt et alia quam plurima animalia, 
quz quanquam inter septa foreste vivunt, foreste tamen nequaquam 
censeri possunt, qualia sunt bubali, vacce, et similia.” Dr. Pegge 
adds :—‘“‘ The forest of Middlesex was not deaforested till A. 1218, 
Hen. III. ‘This forest is not mentioned in the Catalogue of forests 
given us by Spelman in his Glossary ; Hnfield chace, however, 1s 
thought to be a small remainder of it.” He also cites the following 
authorities :—‘‘ Whitaker’s History of Manchester, p. 340. ‘The 
wild cows and bulls of the country continued very frequent among 
us in the 4th century, and even for several ages afterwards. These 
were merely of the usual size, but all milk-white in their appearance, 
all furnished with thick hanging manes like lions, and almost as fierce 
and savage as they.’ Boétii Scot. Reg. Desc. fol. 6, and Leslzi Hist. 
p- 18; and hence is the popular story of the fierce wild cow of 
Dunsmore in Warwickshire, slain by Guy Earl of Warwick.” 
Whitaker gives several passages from Roman authors relative to 
the animals of Britain. 
The Charter of Hen. I. recognises the right of the citizens of 
London to hunt not only in Chiltern, but in Middlesex and Surrey.

XLILI.—On two new species of Testaceous Mollusca. 
By Wixiram Crark, Esq. 
To the Editors of the Annals of Natural History. 
GENTLEMEN, Norfolk Crescent, Bath, Nov. 1, 1849. 
I pre you to record the discovery, by myself, last summer, of 
two new species of Testaceous Mollusca in the coralline zones of 
the Devon coast, at Exmouth. I have submitted these disco- 
veries to the ordeal of an examination by my friends Messrs. Jef- 
freys and Barlee, to whom I believe every British shell is fami- 
liar, and I have their united testimony that the shells in question 
are entirely new to them: such a test, from gentlemen of the 
highest authority in conchological statistics, affixes the impress 
of almost certainty that these objects are novelties. 
Skenea Cutleriana. 
S. testa suborbiculari, albida, aliquantulum producta, anfractibus 
tribus spiraliter exaratis; striis subtilibus, undatis, transversis, 
hic et illic sparsis, notata; sutura simplex ; apertura subrotanda, 
integra, superne in canalem brevissimam desinens; umbilicus 
inconspicuus, margine columnari paululum obtectus ; animal et 
operculum adhue latent. Longitudo et latitudo circa $ uncie. 
At first view I thought that this elegant minute species might
