to him and he pronounced it to be Zonites excavatus 

 var. vitrifia a species not previously recorded as occur- 

 ring in this district. 



Helix aspersa var. exalbida, Menke. I found two specimens 

 of this shell at Cambridge in July 1873: they occurred 

 by the roadside about half-a-mile from the Railway 

 Station. I have searched for additional specimens in 

 the same locality subsequently but without success. 



Helix Cantiana, Mont Near Henley-in-Arden, in the heart of 

 Warwickshire, the turnpike road has been cut through 

 a hill composed of red marl, and on the banks of the 

 cutting, on both sides of the road, Helix Cantiana 

 abounds, although I do not know of its occurrence 

 anywhere else in the county. I found it there during 

 a Saturday Afternoon Excursion of the Birmingham 

 Natural History & Microscopical Society in the summer 

 of 1873. I believe this species was not previously 

 known to exist in Warwickshire. 



Helix fusca, Mont. Whilst "sweeping" for Coleoptera in North 

 Wales, during August and September last, I found this 

 species in such abundance as to be a nuisance. Large 

 nnmbers were collected at each stroke of the sweeping- 

 net; and becoming crushed up in a slimy mass, rendered 

 it next to impossible to extricate the minute forms of 

 Beetle-life from the refuse, everything in the net being 

 hopelessly agglomerated. This species was extremely 

 abundant near the Torrent Walk, Dolgelly, and on the 

 road from Pensarn to Crafnant and Cwm Bychan. In 

 August 1874, I found a few specimens of this shell near 

 Stonehouse in Gloucestershire, which vary from the 

 type in being flatter and of a harder texture. Some of 

 the North Wales specimens are exceedingly delicate 

 in texture and pale in color. 



Clausilia Rolphii, Gray. During the Marine Excursion of the 

 Birmingham Natural History & Microscopical Sociey 

 to Teignmouth in September, 1873, and while on a
