Shells. 



A marine shell, Bulla hydatis, was in some numbers below the 

 high-tide mark on the river side of the Warren. I am told it is 

 a very local species. It is a most delicate shell and also of a 

 curious and unusual form. 



There were several other species I picked up, but have not yet 

 identified them. 



A very large perfect specimen of the razor-shell I found on the 

 shore. 



Plants. 



Vegetation was most abundant and varied everywhere, but I saw 

 scarcely a fern. On one evening I crossed to Exmouth, and found 

 on the eastern shore of that place a greater profusion of the beau- 

 tiful sea-holly than I ever remember to have seen before, 'llie 

 golden-rod was very plentiful in many of the lanes. 



Enumeration of the species met with brings my rambling remarks 

 to a close. I fear that I have noted very few scientifically useful 

 facts, but at any rate I have recorded one of the pleasantest holi- 

 days I have ever had, and a holiday made doubly pleasant by 

 the personal guidance and most kindly hints of one of my fellow- 

 members, our old friend Mr. Jager. It is to his unstinted kindness 

 that I am indebted for much that this paper contains, and I take 

 this o[)portunity of thanking him.
