PART I. 



Introductory Note. 



I propose to offer to the Society a series of short papers, 

 which various authors have been kind enough to contribute, 

 on the terrestrial zoology of the Faroes. The majority of 

 these papers are primarily reports on a small zoological 

 collection made during last August and in the summer of 

 1900, but an attempt will be made to add previous records 

 from other sources. Although the botany of the Faroes ^ is 

 now being described in a very elaborate manner by Professor 

 Warming, of Copenhagen, and others, our knowledge of the 

 terrestrial zoology is still meagre. If the present contribu- 

 tions call attention to the fact, they will not be in vain. 



I am responsible for all statements enclosed in square 

 brackets. — jST. A. 



LAND AND FRESHWATER MOLLUSCA. 

 By Walter E. Collinge, M.Sc.,The University, Birmingham. 



Mr Annandale has invited me to furnish a report upon 

 the few land and freshwater Molluscs collected by him and 

 Mr F. H. A. Marshall in the Faroe Isles. 



All the specimens collected are referable to well-known 

 species, but they exhibit slight deviations from their respec- 

 tive types, due possibly in some measure to isolation. 



Limax arhorum, B.-Ch. — Thorshavn. All immature speci- 

 mens. 



[Collected in July and August. Not uncommon; chiefly 

 in gardens, and so probably introduced.] 



Agriolimax agrestis (Linn.) — Thorshavn. [Common.] 



Arion ater (Linn.) — Thorshavn. [Very common.]
