answer to H. depilata T am undecided, but hope to pay more 

 attention to the animals during the coming summer. 



19. H. rolundata. 



20. Succinea putris. 



21. Bulimus obscurus. 



22. Zua lubrica. 



23. Pupa cylindracea. 



24. Clausilia bidens. 



25. C. nigricans. These two Clausiliae, together with Bulimus 

 obscurus, are commonly found, as I have said before, on beech trees, 

 seldom in other places. C. bidens is very numerous in a plantation 

 of beech on the downs; I could collect almost any number after a 

 summer shower. 



26. Limneus auricularius. T am uncertain about the identification 

 of this species. 



27. L. pereger. 



28. L. palustris. 



29. L. trunculatus. Scarce. 

 SO. Planorbis cariuatus. 



31. P. contortus. 



Of the bivalves I cannot say much, having noticed two species 

 only, Cyclas cornea and Anodon cygneus. 



After another season I hope to have many additions to make to this 



list.

Superstitions concerning the Liver of the Otter and Bear. — Many years ago I was 

 told by a gamekeeper, a native of a parish iu Norfolk, where otters were at that time 

 frequently met with, that it was universally believed in that locality that the liver of 

 an otter was divided into a number of lobes, equal to the number of years during 

 which the animal had lived. In recently reading Dr. A. L. Adams's very interesting 

 volume, intituled ' Wanderings of a Naturalist in Iudia,' I was surprised to find, at 

 page 184, that a similar opinion was held by the doctor's "shickaree" respecting the 

 liver of the "Isabella or brown bear of the Himalaya." So singular a coincidence is, 

 I think, worthy of record, and I therefore communicate it for the pages of the 

 'Zoologist.'— /.#. Gurney; March 31, 1868.
