Kennard, A. S., and Woodward, B. B. — " The Mollusca of the English 

 Cave Deposits," pp. 242-244, figs. 

 This interesting paper deals chiefly with the Mollusca found in Ightham 

 fissure in Kent, the species of greatest interest being: — Hygroinia umhrosa, 

 I'artsch, which has not previously been discovered living or fossil in this 

 countrv ; Vitrea helvetica Blum, [glabra, Brit. Auct.), which has not been found 

 fossil before ; Pomatias elegans and Vitrea alliaria found in Pleistocene deposits 

 for the first time (the statement that these occur in the Holocenes of Essex 

 must only be meant to apply to the first shell as V. alliaria has not been 

 found fossil in Essex at all) ; Limax viaximus and Clausilia laminata are new 

 records for our Pleistocenes ; Succiiiea obloitga and Vertigo minutissima. A 

 slender variation of Carychium minimum is figured.
