66 THE NAUTILUS. 
try was too wet and the woods were too full of snow to be worked at 
all, in fact it was only in places on the hill side that the snow had 
melted. 
A broad sandy bar, some 5 or 6 miles long, cuts off the ends of 
the bay at Barachois, leaving a narrow channel at one end: on this 
bar I was surprised to find Pupa muscorum and Vallonia costata in 
the sand under pieces of wood. Z. radiatulus, P. striatella, A. harpa 
and F. subcylindrica oceurred here rarely, as well as a Vertigo, of 
which two specimens only were taken. 
Helix hortensis was very common on the hillside, generally buried 
in the sand; several varieties were taken; the plain form seemed to. 
be the least abundant. At the entrance to some burrows I found 
quite an accumulation of empty shells, and nearly all being entire, 
many were in very fair condition. 
A little collecting under more favorable circumstances would no 
doubt materially increase this list, from which several of the North- 
ern or universally distributed species are absent. 
At Gaspé Basin, Limnea palustris, catascopium, desidiosa, and 
one Physa, most likely heterostropha, were found in drift. Some 
marine species were also taken, but are not yet identified.
