ago as 1811, as follows :—‘ Upon a hill at Dunbar [Hadding- 
tonshire]|, rare.’ This has, however, never been confirmed or 
corroborated by any subsequent conchologist. 
The range of the species in these islands is entirely confined 
to England. It is widely scattered in isolated localities, ranging 
in altitude from the limestone scars of the Pennine range at 
1,600 feet and over, down to about a hundred feet in the 
Brigg district of North Lincolnshire, where it has been taken 
exceedingly sparingly by Mr. John Beaulah. 
I have had properly authenticated records for twenty-four 
counties and vice-counties, viz., Cumberland, Westmorland- 
with-Lake-Lancashire, Yorks. N.W., Yorks. Mid.W., Derby- 
shire, Lincoln North, Lincoln South, Herefordshire, Mon- 
mouthshire, Gloucester East, Gloucester West, Oxfordshire, 
Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Kent East, Sussex East, 
Sussex West, Isle of Wight, Dorsetshire, Wilts South, Somer- 
set North, Devon South, Cornwall West, and a ‘ Winchester ’ 
record which is referable either to Hants North or Hants South. 
Besides these, I have seen published records for a few 
other counties or vice-counties in England and one in Wales, 
some of which are uncertain or doubtful, and all need con- 
firmation by authentication, and I shall feel very grateful to 
any reader of this note who would be good enough to put me 
in the way of being able to submit examples of the species from 
any county not mentioned above.

Wild Flower Preservation, by May Coley. London : T. Fisher Unwin 
{1913]|, pp. 191, 29 plates, 3s. 6d. net. This little book is written by an 
enthusiastic flower lover, who is anxious to whet the appetites of beginners 
in the beauties of plants and the many interesting aspects of their study. 
She rightly emphasises the importance of the careful study of a few plants 
at a time rather than the hurry to make a large herbarium of badly dried 
and labelled specimens. ‘ The glib repetition of Latin names, of plant 
organs and their numbers never made a botanist—though it has often 
made a bore!’ The suggestions given on keeping a nature note-book are 
good, and if followed will prove interesting and profitable to the young 
collector of plants. There are useful chapters on gathering, identification, 
pressing and mounting of plants, all pleasantly written, and a well illus- 
trated glossary of botanical terms 
The Theory and Practice of Working Plans, by A. B. Recknagel. 
London: Chapman & Hall, pp. xii. and 235, 8s..6d. net. This work, by 
the Professor of Forestry in Cornell University, will be better recognized 
by its sub-title, ‘ Forest Organization,’ a subject which has been actively 
engaging the attention of American foresters during recent years. The 
object of the book is to bring together for the benefit of American foresters, 
the best methods of organization with a view to greater output and economy. 
The first part of the volume deals in a clear and concise manner with the 
aims and methods of working plans and is illustrated by excellent photo- 
graphs, a sketch map and tables. In the second part the’ author details 
the chief methods followed in Europe, where he has spent a year in their 
study. Accounts are given of forest management in the following German 
states :— Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony, Wiirtemburg, Baden and Alsace- 
Lorraine, and sections are also devoted to the forests of France and Austria.
