ancient lake deposits previously described, except in con- 
nection with the deposit at Ele referred to in “ Preliminary 
Notes.” It was excluded from the lst of shells observed in 
the material from that deposit, owing to there being some 
doubt as to whether it really belonged to that deposit 
or not; but we have now no hesitation in including 
Cochlicopa lubrica in the list, along with the other shells 
from the Elie deposits. 
As a living shell, this species has a wide distribution, and 
appears to be common in all the localities where it is found. 
It is recorded from thirty-six counties in the “ Census.”

This species occurred in large numbers in all the four 
deposits at Elie, some of the specimens being much longer 
than usual. 
As a living species this shell is widely distributed. It is 
recorded from twenty-one counties in the “ Census of Scottish 
Mollusca.” 
In the “Census,” Montagu’s name Carychiwm carychium 
is adopted for this shell, but no reason is given for doing so ; 
and as Miiller described the species under the name used 
here, nearly thirty years before Montagu, there can be 
no question as to its priority over that of Montagu’s. 
In Brown’s “Recent Conchology of Great Britain and 
Ireland,” 2nd edition, published 1845, Miiller’s name is 
used for this shell, and as shown by the synonymy 
given here for the species, Forbes and Hanley, in their 
“History of British Mollusca and their Shells,” published 
1853, likewise used Montagu’s name, as also did Jeffreys 
in his work.
