THE NATIONAL FISHERIES EXHIBITION. 249 
Zua lubrica.—Abundant everywhere. 
Achatina acicula.—Very scarce on the premises 20, Bootham, 
also on the site of the present Goods Station and the railway 
excavations about thirty years ago (R.) Mr. Richardson found 
many fine, though bleached, specimens in 1878 in the gravel-pits 
at Fulford. They lay in a stratum about four feet from the 
surface, and in the winter of 1878-9 he obtained some hundreds 
of specimens from the drift of the River Ouse. Most of these 
were small, but in good condition. Mr. Hey says it occurs in 
this situation after heavy floods, but not often. 
Fam. CarycHupm. 
Carychium minimum.—Swarms. 
Fam. CycLosToMATID®. 
Cyclostoma elegans.—Common on the magnesian limestone, 
but, so far as I am aware, no nearer to York. 
Errata.—In May number, p. 182, &e., for “ Clifton Jugs,” read “ Clifton 
Ings”; and p. 184, line 8 from foot, for “ behind” read ‘‘ beside.”

By Tuomas SovrHweE tu, F.Z.S. 
Tue Fisheries Exhibition lately held at Norwich has proved 
such a success in all respects that there can be little doubt it will 
speedily be followed by similar Exhibitions in other parts of the 
country, which, irrespective of the benefit certain to accrue from 
them in a commercial point of view, cannot fail also to be of great 
interest to naturalists. There doubtless, as at Norwich, will be 
gathered together not only many remarkable specimens of Fish 
and Birds from a distance, but such a representative collection of 
the Fauna of the district as could not otherwise be got together. 
Perhaps it may be of some interest to your readers who had 
not the good fortune to see the Norwich Exhibition to have a few 
brief notes, from a naturalist’s point of view, on some of the more 
striking objects it contained. 
The building in which the Exhibition was held consisted of 
the spacious Volunteer Drill Hall and a large temporary
