MARINE ZOOLOGY 



VIII. MOLLUSCA 



I have not paid special attention to some groups of these animals, and have recorded only 

 such as attracted my attention when collecting others. I must therefore express my thanks 

 to the Rev. Carleton Greene of Great Barford near St. Neots for the list of shells collected 

 by him, and to Mr. Wm. Cole for a list of those collected by Mr. A. Mayfield of Mendlesham. 

 I have also incorporated the species given by Mr. A. Patterson in his paper on the shells 

 collected by him near Great Yarmouth, published in the Zoologist for 15 May 1903, 

 though no doubt some w^ere obtained just outside Suffolk. In giving the following list I 

 combine all these with my own, and express the authority by the initials, viz. G. for Greene, 

 M. for Mayfield, P. for Patterson, and S. for Sorby. 



The nomenclature is that of the Conchological Society in the Journal of Conchology 

 (1901), No. I, with subsequent corrections by Mr. W. E. Hoyle. 



Many of my specimens have been examined and identified by Professor Herdman.'

 of Loli^ media in the Stour, the 

 numbers of both seeming to de- 

 crease year by year.

' A very remarkable variety of this species was found by Dr. Gwyn Jeffreys in the Deben at 

 Shottisham Creek near Sutton and at Manningtree. It was named by him var. crstuarii, and is described 

 and figured by him in British Conchology, vol. v, p. 205, PI. ci, fig. 8 (A.M.N.).
