The mollusca noticed in tliis brief communication were found hy tlie 

 veteran geologist the Rev. Osmond Fisher, F.G.S.. and ^Ir. T. R. H. 

 Garrett, of Jesus College, Cambridge, in the parish of which the 

 former is Rector. 



In tlie same parish occurred the Holocene deposit of Romano- 

 British date, near Butler's Spinney, previously (19U3) described by 



me before this Society.' This deposit yielded B'. arhustorum, Linn., 

 in great abundance, and is the solitary recorded locality (up to the 

 present time) for the occurrence in Cambridgeshire of Limax arborum,- 

 Bouch. Chant. Mr. Brindley states that it has not occurred alive in 

 Cambridgeshire in recent times, although it is found in the adjoining 

 county, Northamptonsliire. 



The place in which the later discovery occurred, now described in this 

 paper, is about a half-mile from tlie above-mentioned deposit, and
