CLAUSILIA ROLPHII. 



Some of the " new localities " for British plants and shells, dis- 

 covered by the Rev. W. H. Hawker and given in the last Number of 

 the 'Annals' (p. 212), are so remarkable, that I was glad to see one 

 which I could confirm from personal observation ; viz. the station for 

 Clausilia Rolphii (plicatula, Drap.) in Ashford Woods, where I met 

 with it fifteen years ago, when collecting with Mr. Wm. Harris, 

 F.G.S., of Charing.— S, P. Woodward. 



HELIX ASPERSA. 



A curious specimen of the common Garden Snail has been sent me 

 by Miss A. Hodgson of Ulverstone. It is an adult shell with a 

 second, half-grown individual, fixed to its spire and partly imbedded 

 in the suture of the body-whorl. The winter door (^epijjhraffmy 

 remains in the exposed part of the small shell's aperture, showing 

 that it had died during the first hybernation, whilst its neighbour had 

 survived, and not getting free from the incubus of the empty house 

 of the deceased, had partially enveloped it in the course of its growth 

 to maturity. — S. P. Woodward.
