VITREA CELLARIA IN SHELL-MARL, NEAR 
HALE, WESTMORLAND. 
J. WILFRID JACKSON, 
Manchester Museum. 
DuRING a recent visit to the neighbourhood of Hale and Burton- 
in-Kendal, Westmorland, I had the good fortune to discover 
Vitrea cellaria (Mill.) in the lacustrine deposits so extensively 
developed there. 
Its occurrence theré is very interesting, as it adds another 
locality to the few already mentioned by Mr. J. W. Taylor in his 
Monograph (part 14, p. 36), some of which, for the sake of 
comparison, I give below :— 
‘Isle of Wight.—Prof. Forbes: Lacustrine beds at Tot- 
land’s Bay, near Yarmouth. Essex.—Mr. French: Alluvial 
Section in Shell Marl near Hale. 
shell-marl at Felstead ; Miller Christy: Rarely in shell-marl at 
Chignal, St. James. Yorks.—Mr. H. H. Corbett: In old lake 
deposit at Askern, near Doncaster. Ireland.—Marl deposits 
at Marlfield, near Clonmel, South Tipperary; at Drumceliff 
Crannoge, Co. Clare.” 
Along with V. cellaria and other more common species, | 
found a number of slender elongate Lzmnca truncatula, which I 
submitted to Mr. Taylor, who refers them to the var. /anceadza, 
saying he has had similar specimens from the black earth 
deposits in Nottinghamshire. 
The accompanying photo shows a good section of the marl 
deposit near Hale.
